Off With Her Pounds!

Shocked and amazed!

My body never fails to shock and amaze me. Really, from gaining 30 lbs in a year (2011-2012), to gaining 5 lbs from last Thursday til yesterday morning, to losing 5.2 lbs since yesterday morning. Seriously, is my body THAT unstable of an environment? I say no! But I'll tell ya, from seeing 223.4 lbs yesterday at 9am, to seeing 218.2 lbs at 9am this morning, I'm left feeling a little like this guy...

I actually know this guy (no, we are NOT facebook friends!) In fact, this dude sent me a song via email yesterday that took me back to my preteen days. Please don't mention anything to my hubby, he'd be pretty pissed that another guy is sending me love songs... ;)

What I mean is that I'm stunned that after being off of RFL for 5 days, I gained 5 lbs on the scale. But one day back on, which was yesterday, I lost all of it and actually a pound extra from anything I'd lost before. Yes, I'm pretty sure that most of it is "water weight", but my point is that it is GONE. Wait a minute--I just hit the amazing FIFTEEN pound mark--only five to go before I will have serious bragging rights!  Anyway, I will say that I went to bed starving, and woke up at 5am this morning starving, but I got through it and started my day at 9am with an egg white omelet. I'm going to be posting later what my secret breakfast weapon has become. And let me tell you, they are great for anyone! And would be a huge hit for a brunch or for when you have company staying the night. 

Anyway, I'm not sure how, but somehow some of my back fat disappeared at the beach. Literally, the fat rolls on my back have shrunk. Um, yes please!  We also hit up the river this weekend, so I got my tan awwwwwwwwn. Needless to say, by the end of summer I should be ready for summer! At least I will look cute in my fall clothes, which really are my favorite anyway. Jeggings and tall boots on thinner legs should be a lot better than last year's alternative.

I guess this week is all about recommitting myself to some things, including the diet. I'm also gearing up to add some new summertime products to my etsy shop (bug repellent, sunscreen, beach-hair spray, etc.) It makes me feel good to be productive, which is something I haven't felt for a while. My summertime with the kids has also started, which brings a whole new host of issues, but we intend on staying in, on, or near water all summer, so I'm thinking we will survive. I'm also trying to take pics of everything, but whenever I pick up the camera, someone seems to have a meltdown, and I'm relegated to taking pics at night, which I loathe.

Anyway, point is that you should be checking back soon for a new breakfast recipe, some homemade body stuff, and ideas that will keep me sane from the chirren' this summer. Have a good one!
