Bubbles in my think tank

Per Blither Blather Therapy Sessions I've been looking at some weight loss blogs. I do this as I sit here watching the Barefoot Contessa make something deliciously rich and fattening on the food channel....Pitas stuffed with Tabbouleh and Feta and Shrimp Salad. What IS Tabbouleh? Ok it doesn't SOUND that fattening but it DOES sound gross.

OH I want to lose weight so bad. Donna (at Blither Blather) actually KEPT a goal of walking for 31 days! I think she did that when she lived over in my neighborhood too. I may have tried to be a part of it but I don't remember. Obviously I didn't take that goal and run (or walk) with it. Why can't I just DECIDE to exercise and lose weight?! I was sick. I lost almost 9 pounds. That's NOT the way I want to lose weight. Really. I don't care if I EVER EVER lose another 9 pounds by being sick. I'd rather gain weight than go through that again.

So I have this friend. Julie. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Julie. She is a wonderful, sweet Christian friend and she inspires me. She teaches aerobics and is a certified trainer. Twice....TWICE....already I have been to her for help. It all starts out peachy and I'm working out like crazy and then something throws a wrench in and it's all blown to kingdom come. WHY can I not just take losing weight one day at a time? Make the right choices with food and just go out and walk for 15 or 30 minutes every day. I have a dog I could walk. I have tennis shoes. I'm home almost every day. I COULD DO IT!!

I COULD say that it's all about living with 3 boys, the husband, a dog and a fish. We've never been extreme healthy eaters. I mean, we don't eat McDonalds every night.... I cook. There's just not always a salad on the table and if there were then only 2 of us would eat it.

Ok I've gotta make a goal. I think I'm gonna fix myself a sandwich and think about it over lunch.
If anyone DOES read this...suggestions would be appreciated! :O)

Hope you're having a blessed weekend!
