So I know I have been MIA...there's no excuse! Anyway, I'd like to take a little trip down memory lane and talk a bit about the times in my life where I went off the rails. Those specific food addictions that added a pound or five to my frame. I don't know if we all do this but I can remember each milestone weight from 145 to 150 to 157 to 162 to 168 and so on. Why oh WHY didn't I stop at 168. Anyway, no use crying over spilled milk. Here goes nothing.
There was the grilled ham and cheese and $.99 bag of Sour Cream and Cheddar Chips phase. Add to that a bottle of Vess Strawberry soda every two days and the six or seven pounds I gained during that time are easy to explain!
Then there was the Cap'n Crunch phase which I went through after I discovered Silk. After years of lactose intolerance and a cereal depravity, I went a little overboard with the cereal. I'm talking Cap'n Crunch for breakfast lunch and dinner. That was another, maybe five pounds. Five pounds from cereal? YES!! I ate several large bowls a day. It was a hot mess!
Then there was the tun fish debacle. Now, I know what you're thinking, 'tuna doesn't sound so bad.' Right! Well, when you make it the way I make it it is absolutely AWFUL for you. I'm talking, mayo, mustard, boiled eggs, pickles, and a mountain of sugar mixed together and eaten with Ritz crackers. What a clusterfuck!
Then there was the Oreo McFlurry, Oreo Sonic Blast, Mint Oreo Blizzard, and Ben & Jerry's craze of the mid to late 2000's and it's no wonder that I have ballooned up from a healthy and svelte 145 pounds to a not so svelte, and really quite unappealing...let's not mention it!
The last five pounds can be attributed to a Kitkat phase and a very serious case of depression but I digress. I should mention here that there were other phases in between, DiGiorno pizza phase, the $.99 bag of Chesters's Hot Fries everyday after school in HS, the Dorito's, Coke, and Hostess cupcake phase of my Econ days Sophomore year of college, there was the Pillsbury Bake Chocolate Chip cookie and Eddy's Butter Pecan ice cream mixed phase. The list goes on.
Either way, I am geting back to Insanity today after almost a month of no workouts and I am excited and nervous. Excited because I have a very cute, very tight, bandage dress that needs to be worn for my sisters 30th birthday bash. Also because in exactly one month I am embarking on my fourth annual trip to Niobrara. SO STOKED!! Either way, it's salads, oatmeal, baked chicken, and lots of veggies until then and hopefully after!
