Where does time go, virtual school and supersized meals …

By Judi on Sep 10, 2009 in Fat Loss quickie, homeschool, wahm

While that phrase may do nothing for the search engines it has a lot to do with my life lately!

We are in our 3rd week of virtual school for the year. And to be brutally honest I don’t think it is working out. We are going to have to rethink this and go back to the planning stage I think. So this week has been a challenge, not to mention that Marilyn’s computer crashed. That is just a challenge of being a WAHM.

And yes I know I haven’t blogged about my computer butt. Trust me, it is still there. I did really good last week and then I stepped on the scale this week and discovered that I hadn’t lost any weight. That was a bit depressing. I gave up soda and haven’t been eating after 7PM, but the stupid scale didn’t budge. That kinda threw me for a loop. Wasn’t expecting major miracles but a pound would have been nice.

That being said, I missed Monday because I was just too lazy on the long weekend. Yesterday I was extremely bad and only did the workout and then had dinner at McDonalds. I had a fish sandwich, but … still that was bad.
Funny thing is I ordered it supersized …. And before you yell at me, I didn’t order it for the fries. Matter of fact I gave most of mine to the girls. But I really wanted that supersized coke. I had been dreaming of it. You know the cold icy coke with the bubbles …

Ok here’s the deal. It tasted nasty. What’s the deal with that? Was it a bad coke? Or could it be that after being “on the wagon” for a week, my taste buds just didn’t want it?

Well whichever it was I am back to the diet this morning and the Fat Loss Quickie workouts.  Just because I have stumbled, doesn’t mean I can give up. I have 13 weeks until we leave for Disney World. I refuse to be lugging this computer butt around 4 parks.  It just is not invited!

I will be checking in, hopefully with less computer butt following me around!

  1. Hi Judith,
    As you know, I am on the Macrobiotic lifestyle diet. I say “lifestyle” because that is my goal. I want to get off that roller coaster and just change the way I eat. I’ve researched those beautiful, delectable Mc Fries and discovered that they are coated in sugar! and Everything from Fries to wrapper has corn in it which contains sugar! When you clean your body, or detox, of all the things your body (not your brain LOL) really needs and then go back to it, it will taste bad! Miracle! It’s you bodies way of saying, Please don’t feed me that poison! Oh! but the temptations are so strong! So let the will power be stronger! You can do it girl!
    It’s really hard when the rest of the family doesn’t eat like us. and especially hard when you have to cook the foods for them that you REALLY enjoy!
    I have a great marinara recipe and a no-cheese stuffing for Shells- no sugar, fat, meat – with lots of vitamins, calcium and protein!
    BTW – do you still home school? My last child, Ethan, is at BCC. I have empty nest syndrome from Home education :(

  2. Hiya Alisa! Leaving the coke behind has been the hardest part… I swear they put something in there that is as addicting as nicotine. But I am proud to say that even if I ordered the super sized coke, I only took a few sips and then let it sit, I didn’t finish it. Didn’t finish the fries either, or the breading on my fish sandwich, so I guess I didn’t do to terribly bad.

    Since it is just the girls and I here most of the time, son eats most of his meals at work, ie McDonalds, the girls get to eat the way that I eat. It’s been killing them that Mom doesn’t buy the ice cream for 2 weeks. They are so not loving the menu!

    I can’t have milk or milk products so dieting is sometimes a challenge. I can’t do the boxed stuff or the recipes in a lot of diets. Do you know how many call for cheese?? Yogurt is ok, but cheese and milk are no-nos for me.

    We home school, just virtually.But to be honest it just isn’t working out this year at all. It is the schools first year of doing it, just not sure I want my kids to be the guinea pigs while the bumps are ironed out.

    The big farmers market is today so I am going to go and stock up on good food. I guess no more Coke for this kid!!
