It's working!
MyFitnessPal — I’ve been committed to using it everyday. Staying honest with myself even when I scarf down some serious pork.
But because I’ve made myself more aware of my calorie intake — I’ve already lost 4 pounds. 6 more pounds to my goal!
So happy! And feeling good about myself. I’m already excited about spring and putting on my bikinis (that...

Feeling sick.
I need to rest. And eat. And take vitamins.
And cuddle Simon.
One more day of work…
I… Think… I… Can…
WTF.
That little sandwich was 900 calories?
Son of a…
Ugh. I thought I could take a break today. Off to the gym I go…

Taxes?
DONE!
I had no idea that it was so easy to file online. And so much cheaper than dealing with the tax lady! $100+ appointment cancelled, biatch!
And I’m expecting a pretty fantastic refund in return. Finally — something to get me out of this hole of never seeing my paycheck. All of those student loans that have been taking my little checks are finally giving back.
I’m...
Dear Tax Lady.
I meet with you on Tuesday. Please get me a big, sexy refund.
That would be absolutely fabulous.
Sincerely,
Avery

Six days of work.
Coffee? Check.
I have bills to pay. Let’s do this.
New thangs.
New things that I am currently raving about:
U-Jam Fitness and the Stocktonian instructor who teaches it
Muscle Blast (no, not new, but I’m loving the friends I’m making)
MyFitnessPal app and website (add me! username: averygh)
My boyfriend’s wonderful support for my new diet
My new slimming belt
Simon’s cuddles (still not new, but I still rave about Simon)
This...

Counting.
I finally started counting calories.
It’s depressing.
This whole time I thought my eating habits were okay. It woke me up. But it’s really hard to stay interested when I have to let go of some of my addictions… (nachos, burgers, burritos…)
Someone keep me motivated. Please!

Work.
8 birthday cakes in two hours. Saturdays still overwhelm me.
Well… That’s what coffee is for.

Passive Agression Toward the Self →
psychotherapy:
via Psychology Today:
Are you—unawares—a mental and emotional masochist?
In self-sabotage you “act out” internal conflicts by first moving toward a goal—then retreating from it. “I can do it” is offset by “I can’t do it.” “I want it” is overridden by “No, I don’t want it.” “I deserve it” countermanded by “I don’t deserve it.” The net result of such an ambivalent—or...
I hate flossing.
And still hate it. Despite all the things the dentists have told me. Despite all the cavities I’ve gotten filled.
And tomorrow — I pay for it. I have an appointment with the dental hygienist for those awful deep cleanings.
During my last dental exam, my dentist said, “Since you’ve been so bad at flossing, you’re now approaching a stage where it’s getting...

Couples appreciation day.
We are celebrating our fourth Valentine’s Day this year.
For those of you who are bitter this time of year. I guess I can see why.
But don’t give any of us grief for having an established day to celebrate our relationship. We celebrate our love everyday, but Valentine’s Day is the day we can be mushy in public without offending hundreds of people.
And if you want to be...
