Because I need every bit of motivation I can get...

I've been home for 42 days. At least, I've had a profile on my mom's Wii Fit for 42 days. And in that time, I've managed to gain back ten pounds, most of which has taken up residence around my midsection. Awesome.

Rather than revert to the less-than-nutritionally-sound rice and oatmeal diet, I finally talked Mom into starting South Beach Diet again. Today was day one.

You should see the amount of vegetables crammed into our fridge. Mom and I went a little crazy at Henry's last night. It was fantastic. I got a new tote too. I am really looking forward to eating all that produce. Except for the squash.

But since a diet is essentially telling me what to do, I'm going to have issues with motivation and focus. Which is where the blog comes in. Figure if I write a little something about my progress every day, I'll be that much more likely to stick with it. Whether or not that makes sense...don't care.

Plus I'm going to keep myself busy with various things. Today was occupied by scanning and uploading the incriminating old photos I found the other day when I went for a wander through my boxes in the garage. First up are high school dance pictures. More will follow. You've been warned.

I tried to give my car a good bath yesterday since he behaved himself at the doctor and got better, but he's so dirty I think I'm going to have to pay somebody to do it. Sucks.

Thankfully the diet still allows tea. Provided it's 1% milk that's mixed in.

I'm going to play Total War now until the hunger pangs subside enough for sleep.

Yeah. Except the real story is that I'm going to play Total War so the TW withdrawals subside enough for sleep. I am such a goob.
