Mom Chimes in Again

OMG! You are all such bloggin' fools. I had no idea this was a daily event; I was just planning to check in on Sundays, but as Amy pointed out, I've been sitting in front of this bloomin' screen for 45 minutes! Now that I'm done with school I'll be more inclined to get on more often.

I've been doing so much better since we started this thing than in the previous few months when I kind of threw caution to the wind and did what felt good. No more of that crap. I usually come in right on the cal. count or a little under. Can't wait to weigh in Sunday. It better be good news or I may sink into a blue funk.

Ben, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! I can't see where drinking just juice is good for anybody anytime, or any other diet that excludes entire food groups. Where's the nutritional balance? How do you get your protein?
1000-1400 calories isn't enough for you. This is yo mama speaking.


Anna: a personal trainer? Oooh la la! Movin' on up to the East side. 1300 cal. seems extremely low, considering you don't really need to lose very much.

Here's my personal quote of the day: extremes in diet approaches don't bring lasting results. Common sense goes a long way.

Ben and Emily: I can't believe I forgot your anniversary! I'm truly a neglectful mom. I also forgot to call Luke on his birthday. Having these things on a calendar doesn't help. I guess it might work if I read the calendar once in a while.

Amy: How can you do sweaty hard exercise for a whole hour? Be careful you don't start going down the Kristin Holman road.

The problem I've always faced is that food is much more than a way to sustain life. It tastes good, is a social activity sometimes and It's an enjoyable activity, even something to look forward to. I may have some sort of oral fixation; needing to have something in my mouth. Maybe my mom took away the pacifier too soon.

I promise not to be this wordy ( don't want to overuse the' verbose' vocabulary word). I'll stay tuned in more often. I really like the communication flying back and forth; kind of fun. I'm going to see Paul tomorrow and encourage him to hop on the blog wagon.
