Taking my cue/inspiration from Paulie and in attempt to shame myself into submission, I’ve decided to include my daily dietary intake and exercise efforts at the tail of each entry until the muffin top has been eradicated. Extinguished. Erased.
Luckily, I’m starting this little confessional project a day after the Girl Scout Cookies arrived at the office. If I’d written this yesterday I’d have had to confess to eating a box of Somoas for dinner. What.
I was half dressed when I remembered to step on the scale in my led lined bra and britches this morning, so if we subtract 5 pounds for garments and vanity - well - the digital display still showed a number far greater than the 117 I’m used to seeing when I look down.
So without further adieu, the first ever installment of The De-Fatassing of Maigh aka Operation Muffin Top
Day 1 - Tuesday, March 6
Weight: 134 (without subtracting anything) / Goal: 120 / Lost: Zilch
Consumed: 2 cups of coffee, 1 baggie of vending machine trail mix, 1 glass of red wine, 1 pork chop, 1 salad, 2 scoops of chocolate yogurt ice cream stuff and a fraction of my daily water allotment.
Exercise: How many calories does knitting while watching a tivo’ed episode of 24 burn?
I’m hungry.

WOW! 134? That’s **word removed by Maigh** weight isn’t it?
JK….it would still take almost 2 of you to make one of me…..

Sorry I had to censor you, Kylie. Yep, it is and yep, it would. Oy. Just call me Hefferini.
Here’s to sharing a salad in April…

Haha! I’m laughing….and seriously not at you. Just laughing at the imagery. The fact that I can relate on so many levels….And the fact that, when at my doc’s office on Monday, my dear 4 y.o. asked what the scale was, the doc replied “to see how skinny your mom is.” To which I chortled…you only chortle when you’re overweight…and my dear offspring replied, “My mom’s not skinny.”
Gotta love that.
Aaaah 117. I haven’t seen that number in about 2 1/2 years. A girl can dream.
Keep on, keeping on. You’ll get to where you need to be.

You’ve inspired me and given me another good blog to read! Thanks for the Paulie link - I read several entries and enjoyed it. I’m stealing an idea from both of you - the weight loss goal, make it public and the monthly goals from Paulie. Love ‘em thanks!

How heavy are your knitting needles? If you put some ankle weights on the ends you could really work up a sweat!

[motivate]YOU CAN DO IT![/motivate] I dropped 80+ lbs because my wife said we were getting fat. Unfourtunatly, to be effective, losing weight involves some degree of masochism - you’ll have to learn to appreciate the feeling. When you loose weight award yourself with small portions of high quality stuff.

@ Euro: too funny - just the other day The Mc refered to us as “fat asses”.
