Denial

Well, after months of misplaced denial, I'm back at square one on the weight loss wagon. I stepped on the scale this morning to an ugly scene.

I took a brief moment to mourn the loss of my short-lived svelt figure and then allowed the full reality of the 30 pound gain to sink in.

But, it's okay. You know why? I have meal-planned and exercise-planned and before the summer can make it to my door, I'm gonna kick that 30 pound's butt.

This week I have planned a plethora of healthy, easy dinners including pistachio crusted chicken, stuffed butternut squash and Thai chicken. During the day I'm doing Slim Fast powdered drinks for 2 weeks.

I'd really like to sit around and be embarrassed about all the weight I've gained (but let's be honest, the sitting around is what got me here in the first place) and hate my clothes - but that would not make them fit again. So, here I am, putting myself out there. Accountable to you, reader(s). Keep me honest, will ya?
