I can be really bad at food sometimes. I tend to eat whatever I want to eat, when I want to eat it, and forget to eat at times. Yesterday was one of those times.

I got up and walked at o-dark-thirty, as usual, and took off for work. Forgot to eat bfast. Ate a handful of almonds at my desk, along with my vitamin and two bottles o’ water. Lunch was a tuna salad spinach wrap – yummy…. Proceeded to work my tail off ’til I about fell over and and grabbed a little mini Coke (only 12 ozs). That was it – no other food for the day – completely distracted with the rest of life… ughhhh – this is a serious learning deficiency for me, and I’ve got to remember, at least, to snack….

Today’s been a bit better – walk in the AM, almonds and water & vitamin for bfast, hit up the Japanese place for lunch, but behaved myself with the steamed veggies, and only ate the grilled chicken & skrimps and a bite or two of rice. Not too bad, unless you count the TWO Dr. Peppers I drank. I was totally going for the sweet tea, but for some reason it wasn’t sweet and I had some seriously bitter beer face going on. Not sure what’s on the agenda for dinner as this is my late class night, but I will make a concerted effort to consume something appropriately dietary.

I’ll update you more manana – have a great one!

Seeing that Ash has put her info down, I will add mine for your perusal and for her reminder….

I’m Jenn – the girl next door type, Virgo, love cats, and holding hands in the moonlight.

I’m 5′6″ and time-challenged. This morning, I weighed 219.6, which is a HUGE breakthrough for me since 3 months ago, I weighed in at 240 or thereabouts. My OVERALL goal would be to break 160, given my height and body type. Will that happen any time soon? NO. I know this and accept that I’m human. I’d LOVE to drop below 200 lbs within the next few months and continue on from there. For that, I will definitely be needing some assistance, so please make comments – good/bad/ugly – I’ll take ‘em all.

I’ve given the low down on my week thus far in a previous post, so comment away. Advice is welcome, criticism is acceptable, assistance is wonderful.

Have a great day!

I’m AshPash. I’m a cancer and love long walks on the beach.

I am 5′6″, and not that long ago, I used to weigh 120.

As of today, I weigh 144.

I wanted to start this blog to be more accountable for my eating and exercise habits and to be a support for Jenn, my partner in crime, as well as anyone else who stops by to give us a read. We’ll be posting here as often as we see fit to share our ideas and adventures.

This week, I have been doing pretty well so far. Last night, my colleague and I went to Funky Fit…a hip-hop choreographed dance aerobics class for an hour and I ate pretty well. I had two bags of popcorn, a salad with mahi mahi on top (with fat free Italian dressing), a hard-boiled egg and two pieces of toast. I had 2 Coke Zeros, and a cup of coffee as well. I also think I slipped in a few Butter Butter cookies around 10 am….but those were long gone before I went to bed last night. I also probably drank about 4-5 bottles of water, which at 24 oz, that made about 12-15 glasses.

This morning, I have had two pieces of toast with a little jelly, a cup of coffee and a bottle of water (3 glasses).

Thus far I am pretty proud of myself for sticking to my diet the last few days. I just came off a raging Aunt Flo visit and had gotten well off the beaten path. In case you haven’t visited my other blog, Audacity of Trust, my goal is to look a little bit more like Jessica Biel and a little less like…a heifer traipsing around in a field somewhere. I know I’m not “fat” persay, but there isn’t anyone out there who doesn’t want to tone up a little and be in better shape. Am I right or am I right? I’m effing right, so shut your piehole (or in my case, for the forseeable future, salad hole).  I’d like to get down to 130.  I know highschool weight is a little much to ask.  If I can get to 130, I’ll think about another 5.

Welcome to the fold, pets. Here we go.
