Eating out = Big Fat Liz

So, the last week or so has been crazy for me..I have had LOTS of fun things to do & friends to visit with, BUT....i have been eating out way too much and I'm starting to feel it and SEE it. Dare i get on the scale..NO. thank GOD i have spinning class tonight. I do have to say - im at least not over eating or eating bad EVERY meal... but last weekend alone - i ate so badly..that it's spilling over into this week.

I did have a wonderful time last night with my long lost friend from Jr High & High School, Laura. Small world...and amazing how our lives have been so similar over the years - we even lived one street apart for several years & never knew it?! I'm proud of her for starting her life over & know how hard it is ...which makes me even more proud of her. I really see us staying in touch this time around & rebuilding the great friendship we had when we were teens. It's amazing that I haven't seen her for 10+ years and we still had so much to talk about & share that 3.5 hours had passed like nothing & we were still going" and then this happened..(gasp) then I did this (gasp gasp).... and laughed and laughed.

So..i'm now off to Spinning class. I'm only able to attend twice this week. I'm headed to Van Wert -- a town that's been the butt of many a joke over the years -- to see my good friend Melissa get married. I'm so happy for her & can't wait to see her on her big day. She and I also have one of those wonderful relationships that have no pressure & I don't have to work hard to be her friend. We can go six months without a peep & then talk for hours like we saw each other yesterday.
I appreciate that about us!!

So....my vow going forward is to start eating better again & focus on a little more "free time".....plus some more time with Eric! I'm so happy to know that he's not going to Iraq - but haven't seen him for more than a good night kiss all week. Once again...it's nice to have that kind of relationship with him. He's not jealous or mad if I spend time with friends....or if I haven't cooked him a hot meal in over a week. (Since i'm programmed to be a 19050's mom & all).

I'm a pretty lucky girl sometimes....
now if i could just eat better :)

  1. I have determined that if I lived in Cincinnati and ate out I would also be fat...it is all about eating your own cooked meals! Or..being more creative and coming up with other ways to hang that don't involve food...easier said than done I know. I am so proud of you! You are awesome! Keep up the great work!
