066. this thing i call a diet.

So, after a weekend of pigging out I'm trying to regain some form of a healthy eating style. It sucks because I love food. We even watched Super Size Me which I thought would cure my obsession with french fries and it just made me crave them instead. Gah.

Yesterday I went to the market and picked up some grapes, string cheese, carrots, etc. And then I went home and had a piece of leftover pizza. I AM SO BAD AT THIS.

This girl loves string cheese.


So today, for lunch I brought: yogurt, string cheese, grapes, grapefruit. The grapefruit is actually a breakfast but whatever...it's going to be good. I hope I stop craving the burrito they're having in the caf, be still my heart.

I don't know what I weigh, I'm toggling somewhere between 155 and 148 where about 140-145 is where I'd like to be so I am OH SO CLOSE. Just not there yet. We still need to get our gym memberships.

So, I'm a Catholic and Ash Wednesday is coming up, which celebrates the beginning of Lent. Lent is a 40 day and 40 night fasting period. This year I have decided to give up soda...I drink quite a bit of Tab, especially on the weekends, so this will be good, and hopefully will also help me kick the habit, if you will.

I figure the more I talk about this the less likely I will be to fail because then anyone that reads this will know. I just want to make sure my pants aren't tight kids, okay? I'm trying!

On a random sidentoe, Almost Husband and I watched two movies this weekend (well we watched more, but these two sparked discussion): True Grit and Apollo 13. We'd seen True Grit before, never seen Apollo 13. It was funny because after we watched Apollo 13 in the afternoon, that night while going to bed I mentioned a particular scene in which the lead character's wife's wedding ring drops down the drain in the shower...and how it made absolutely no sense of it being in the movie. We come to find out (via google of course) that they tried to stay as true to form as they could and that actually happened to his wife. Then I started rambling on about foreshadowing and Almost Husband fell asleep. In True Grit, he mentioned several times how he noticed that Jeff Bridges' character never used contractions...he said "cannot", "did not" and things like that...and today he sent me this. Oh I love him.
