My scale is broken. No! Really it is! I tested it today and it has chosen one # and wont move above it. So I have absolutely no idea how I am doing. But I think that it has led to a great decision....I'm going to join Weight Watchers (again for the billionth time). I have noticed that when I am making choices I'm looking at the calories, fat content and dietary fiber. Well, that's what weight watchers is. Except it will keep me even more honest, because I will have to weigh in every week with someone looking over my shoulder (eekkkkkkk!)
I think this is a good thing. I want to be serious this time around and make the right choices. I want to feel empowered and energetic and like I am starting anew. Currently the headache I have right now is hindering most all other feelings.
**Can I just say that everyone else's blog seem funny and are very interesting, but I feel boooorrrrriiinnnnnggg and uninteresting.** Oh well! You don't have to read them if you don't want. LOL

For Tess :)
So I have had an emotional couple of days and to top it off, my moms birthday was yesterday. Because of all of that, I haven't been in the mood to blog. However, Tess is right...its a good thing to blog even if you don't feel like it or even if you cheated. Writing helps! So, this is for you Tess :) LOL!
So you know what happens with birthdays....we had tri tip, tempura shrimp, twice baked potatoes, steamed green beans and cheesy garlic bread. So, I think I was decent, but not great. I only had 3 thin strips of the tri tip, about 6 shrimp and half of a twice baked potato (my sister makes them and you cant resist), and green beans. I also cheated and had 1 and a half piece of the cheesy garlic bread. I warned you all bout my cheeze fetish. :) But it was a birthday so you know there was cake. We had pineapple upside down cake. Does that mean the pineapple ring and cherry counts as fruit?
Today has been a better food day, but I didn't exercise much today so I don't feel real satisfied. Honestly, I might even head over to my parents later...but if I do its for the shrimp. MMM...maybe 2 pieces and 1 piece of tri tip. Dunno.
I will say that I bought some cutties (oranges) and they are so yummy...so sweet and juicy. I love them.
Ok. Well, I need to go balance my checkbook and pay some bills. Fun and exciting.

D Day
"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power." -- Tao Te Ching
Today started our Biggest Loser Challenge. I feel like I have been doing good. I woke up this morning and had a package of regular instant oatmeal with a 1/3 cup of yummy cinnamon and raisin granola. My lunch was a turkey breast sandwich on 45 calorie wheat bread and olive oil mayo and a can of green beans with a little garlic salt and a touch of chili powder. For snack I had 15 raw almonds. I'm making dinner tonight...I'm having some lightly breaded fish filet's, brown rice and some yummy steamed vegetables. I hope I'm heading down the right path here.
So a new revelation...my foot was swollen and hurting after work yesterday. So I have spent the day with it propped up and keeping it iced, guess what there is to do when you have your foot propped up? NOT A WHOLE LOT! Ugh. :/ So I decided to watch a CSI marathon and here is where the revelation comes in...there are a ton of commercials on TV selling yummy delicious things like pizza, pastas from Red Lobster and cheesy hamburgers. What is that about. Where are all the commercials with salads, roasted chicken and healthy oatmeal? I think this could be a challenge, but if only I can "master my true power", I think I will be able to make it.
Dinner is almost ready, so I should probably go check on it. Wish me luck for tomorrow. I open so it will through the whole schedule off....bring on the challenge!!!!!

The Prequel
"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." -- Gandhi
So...The road that lay ahead of me is one that I can only conquer with indomitable will, and support. Starting this Monday my peers and I are starting our own Biggest Loser challenge. I'm very excited about this, because I decided that 2010 was going to be a year of change for me. One of those changes was going to be for Mike (my boyfriend) and I start eating healthy, exercise and lose weight.
I know that this challenge will be a though one, one that I have attempted many times before. The difference this time is that I'm tired. Tired of the way my life is right now, tired of the mess, tired of not having energy and ready to make changes.
My biggest fear however is where to begin. Besides salads, chicken and no more super fating things like cheese (boo hoo hoo), I'm not sure what to eat, what recipes to use or what will keep me from eating a grilled cheese. (can you tell I love cheese...hence the name CheezeHead...I'm gonna miss it.) I'm truly hoping that this blog and this challenge will make these fears go away. With reading others blogs about their obstacles and having their support...the great thing about this is that even if we are not the Biggest Loser...we still all win!
