For the one person left out there...

Jen...I think you may be the only one that didn't give up on me/us when we "fell off the wagon".  I know Lisa checks in every now and again, as well at least one of my aunts and one of my cousins...so I figured I'd write this one to you :)

Today, I am feeling hungry...and I don't know if its just a subconscious thing or if my body was starting to get used to not eating the right portions again.  I'm about to make dinner (Whole Wheat Chicken Pizza Pockets) and I find myself not wanting to get up and make them.

Also, that whole counting calorie thing is not for me, but I figure, it's part of the app/site...might as well get an idea of how many calories I am ingesting.  I know, in the before time, in the long long ago (I'll laugh if you get that reference) that we were probably eating about 2200 calories a day with no more exercise than our job (which some days is 6 hours on your feet) and we were still losing.

But I have a problem...which is, if I see the calorie count and I go over, then I will feel  :(   even though I know that what I am eating is as minimally processed as possible.  At the same time, I do like to know the breakdown of everything.  So...hopefully, I don't get bajiggity about the number...as long as it doesn't go over 2500...that would just be bad.

I hadn't used the site in a long time...so thanks for getting me back onto it.  Hopefully the novelty doesn't wear off like it did the last time.

If you have October Unprocessed rants, rant them to me...I know how you are feeling :)

Wow...Have We Been Lazy

Hot...busy...just downright lazy!!!

Three things that have kept the last 8 weeks full of reasons why we've fallen off the wagon!!

10 lbs for each of us...which mostly comes from high levels of sodium...and sugar (welcome home soda...how I've missed you)!!

Every day we say - "We have to get back on track! And we really need to do it this time!"

I know our biggest reason for struggling to get back on track every day is we both remember just how nightmarish the cravings were - for both salt and sugar...and food in both quality and quantity.

So the plan is grocery shopping this afternoon...with - if I make it on time after what I have to do for work today - a kickoff dinner.  Then we are going to kick it into gear...

because have pledged to October Unprocessed 2012 (check it out - http://www.eatingrules.com/october-unprocessed-2012/)!!  And if we don't start now...come October 01...its just going to be too difficult.

That's all for today...there will be more soon :)
