Ian’s bowling party went a-ok. Kids had fun. Adults did too I think.
I’m just in a bleh mood. Probably because I’ve been skipping my pills. HAVE TO STOP SKIPPING PILLS!! I don’t know why I am. I just am. I just forget and when I remember, it’s like – oh well – tomorrow. It’s always tomorrow. I’m a knucklehead.
Smooth Tums taste ALMOST like candy. I can ALMOST convince myself it is. Like a shitty candy. Not a smartie. No, not a smartie. SMarties are miraculous. They are actually tiny lasers that shoot beams of light into your tongue, and after so many shots of light, your tongue starts to throb, and then it catches on fire and you still want to suck them smarties down even though you’re a fucking idiot and they’ll just fire more shots of light into your tongue but it’s so goooooooooood. Smarties always win.
Did you know that smarties look tiny but they pack an assload. An assload. As in, my what a large ass you have there angie. what a large ass indeed.
Tomorrow – hold me accountable.
I will drink more water.
I will drink less dp.
I will work out at least 3 times a week.
I will stop eating so much candy.
I will try on said bikini every day until it doesn’t make me puke seeing my reflection in the mirror. Realistically, how long will it take me to lose 20lbs and lose this belly? 3 months? 2 months? 4 months? Longer? Gawd, I better get busy.
Realistically, you can easily lose 20 in 3 months if you are diligent with your diet and exercise. For the belly to go, the sugar has to go. Don’t be perfect though because then you’ll fall flat on your face. Give yourself a cheat meal- eat candy and have a Dr. P but be good the rest of the time. If you can hang in there with truly no sugar for 2 weeks, the cravings do ease up and you’ll be surprised at how different you feel. However, in the beginning, it is best to wean- give yourself that one cheat meal as you adapt to being clean the rest of the time.
Just remember that despite what you may read, you can NOT spot reduce a body part with exercise. You will lose in other areas before you start to see results in your trouble spots. Just keep going. It has taken nearly a year and my ass and belly are FINALLY starting to shrink. But you have waaaaaaay less to lose than me so 20 in 3 months is absolutely do-able. Long term scenario, you can be in that bikini by June. Just make up your mind that the bikini means more than the Smarties. Take a pic of yourself in the bikini and keep it somewhere you’ll see for motivation. I have a horrible pic of me on the fridge at my fattest. It works. It also keeps everyone else away from the fridge too.
