Back on the Wagon. Again.

It was a bitter sweet day-- mostly bitter. Today, I hauled my fat butt back on the healthy wagon. That wagon left me behind about 6 months ago and the results are not good. I guess I thought that, because I worked so hard to lose weight, that it would never find me again.

Boy, was I wrong.

Here are my top 7 signs it's time to get serious about losing weight (again.)

7. I started justifying my food choices-- Doritos are made of corn-- that makes them vegetables?
6. When I put on a t-shirt, my inclination is to pull my knees up in it to stretch it out.
5. I have to weigh myself twice because I'm positive the first one CANNOT be right.
4. My five year old mentions, "Gosh Mom, you sure like chocolate a lot lately!"
3. Instead of being happy for my friends who have recently lost weight, I hate them. (Just kidding, guys! Sort of.)
2. I take extra long showers-- just to steam up the mirror so I don't have to see myself.
1. I'm dreading washing my jeans because I lose circulation in my feet after they come out of the dryer. (Can I get one more day of wear out of this broken-in pair?)

So, it is with sadness and trepidation that I venture back into the world of keeping a food journal and eating carrot sticks. (Ugh.)

The problem with round two is that I know what works, and I remember how hard it is. I know that, if I want to have any hope of finishing that 100 mile ride in June, I've got to get serious, though.

Here's to celery. . .

(Sigh.)
