Life as a CrazyMimi

Dieting is no fun!  However.......having someone ask you how much weight you have lost because they can TELL you've lost weight is very cool!  I had two people ask me today, so I'm even more motivated now!  I was losing some of my motivation due to the availability of an incredible cake at work, faschnauts, and the ever beckoning Starbucks! Starbucks doesn't have to be fattening you say?  Oh no, not for this girl!  I want the 420 calorie White Chocolate Mocha!!  As mentioned in a previous post, I have two trips to Florida soon, and tonight I'm shopping for some items needed for those trips, so I'm not dreading the horror of trying on clothes as much as I usually do.   Okay, it's only 10 pounds, but it has made a little bit of a difference in my clothes!  I won't have to venture over into THAT size!! So now that I'm getting into the swing of dieting, I'm trying to get into a new habit of exercising!  Last night Troy walked into the bedroom...

Ok....So....I've decided to start my diet.....Monday!  I believe you can probably tell that there is a little bit of hesitation in my proclamation here.  I hate dieting and I hate exercising!!!!!  There!!!!  I said it! Wow!  I feel better!  Seriously though, now that I've said it, I guess I'd better follow though.  It's not that I don't want to lose weight.  I do!  I just have such a sweet tooth that I dread cutting that sugar habit!  I go through such withdrawal and get cranky...crankier than usual!  And dieting is actually a lot of work.  There is the planning, the shopping, the preparing, and the documenting (I use My Fitness Pal).  I have myself "psyched" to do this.  And I have motivation.  I have two trips coming up and I want to actually fit into some of my clothes before those trips!  The first trip is in six short weeks, so I need to get this started!  So tonight is the shopping for the diet...
