So...

So after my last post and observing really just how bad I look I decided enough was enough for like the bazillionth time this year. We shall see how long this lasts.

Day 1 is complete of the South Beach Diet.

Day 1 is also complete of Zumba Wii Fitness.

My sweet husband surprised me with it a few days ago after I had been eyeing it.

Speaking of looking bad you should see me Zumba ;)

Now let me tell you that I am sick and congested at this very moment so completing a 20 minute Zumba workout was very difficult BUT I did it AND I will have you know that it ranked me as a Zumba Pro.

I'll work my way up to the hour workout when I can breath again. 

Furthermore I WANT BREAD!!!

For those of you who don't know about the South Beach Diet phase 1 lasts 2 weeks and carbs and fruit are banned!

It is supposed to rid you of your cravings to help you proceed with the rest of the diet wherein you add back in "good carbs" and fruit.

My doctor recommended it to me because she said I have too much of that dreaded belly fat.

Really lady?!? You think? I had no idea!! HAHA

So here is wishing me luck on day 2...

a year in review...

 

Okay so as horrifying as it is for me to share this with you I must because this blog is about laying it all out there.

We have just recently hit our year mark on our time here in Idaho.

I was looking through pictures over the last year and I noticed a trend...

Progressively over the last year I have gotten fatter and fatter. I'll let the above pictures do the talking. 

I mean seriously check out the difference in those two faces.

Gross!

The first picture was 30 lbs ago.

That's right I've gained back all of the 30 lbs lost at the beginning of 2010 and if its possible I think I look worse now than I did then.

Not to mention the fact that NONE of my clothes fit.

Which is a big bummer because I have a whole closet full of cute clothes that are just sitting their crying because they don't get to be shown to the world- and believe me they wouldn't be happy if they were shown to the world on this body right now because they wouldn't look so good with all the rolls!

So after looking back at this past year and seeing the physical proof of my self neglect and gluttonous eating I decided it was time to go to the gym...

So I went tonight for an hour-that was of course after I had a large helping of homemade macaroni and cheese. Don't worry I had some asparagus too. One step at a time!

I love to go out to eat...

This past week my in-laws came to town to hang out with us for a few days.

I was so excited to go to the Bodies Exhibit, white water raft down the Snake river, and just hang out but you know what I was WAY excited for? Eating out. Yup that's right. I am that pathetic. The whole

week before they came I was just thinking about all of the different places we would eat at-just thinking about it made my mouth salivate. 

Its like when I get excited to go on a road trip-not for the drive because I hate being in the car.

Nope I get excited for road trips because of the fast food stops. 

So sad.

They came, we had a ton of fun, and we ate.

I was one happy camper.
