Right now you are hearing a strange sound and wondering what it is, well I'll tell ya what it is...MY STOMACH GROWLING. I am so hungry I am slowly becoming evil.

I'm still doing the dailyplate.com thing and two days now I have eaten more calories than I am supposed to eat. I am not overweight, I know, and I don't look like I need to diet but I feel like I need to and I am unhappy with the way I feel in my clothes. Brian is doing this with me which definitely helps, except for the fact that he seems not to get irritable when he gets hungry and I'm freaking biting his head off. Heck, I chomp the air for pete's sake.

Anyway, yesterday Braeden and I did some yoga together and that was fun. We also did some cardio. And then we went to the Y with Barb and Sammy. It was a family afternoon and they had all sorts of vendors for us parents to get some free stuff, moonbounces, balloon animals and such. We had a good time but the kids ended up tired and upset because the fire truck left before they had a chance to see it.

Barb and I sang some karaoke and then Brae ended up playing over their house for a bit. I'm not sure he will be invited back because when I walked two doors down to scoop him up he was throwing a fit because he wanted to take home Sammy's Captain America action figure. Bah. I'm sure both the kids have forgotten already, but I feel bad he behaved that way.

Gymnasts are like little elves. There is an eleven year old girl, four feet tall, who can throw her body all over the place spinning and jumping and balancing. It's just amazing. And all of these girls have an enormous amount of glitter on their eyes. If it were me it would end up in my eye balls and I'd be vaulting blindly into the air. Lol. I applaud them all. They are trying out for the summer Olympics right now at the 2008 Pacific Rim Championships airing on NBC. It is just incredible.

Brian and I started dieting recently.

He is losing weight, his jeans are looser.

Me. I still feel like a fat whale cow. Yeah, I said it. WHALE COW. A FAT ONE.

Argh! I am so frustrated. My arse is out of control! It just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I know your metabolism changes as you get older, but I'm only 27 shouldn't it change like ten years from now?

I sit at a desk all day and then sit at a sewing table a good part of the night. So I'm not getting exercise and I know that has a lot to do with it.

It is embarrassing. Since our wedding which was in November, I have gained like 20 lbs. I'm not kidding you. I didn't stop caring, I just am always hungry and Brian makes really good food. I can't stop eating! So I'm putting it all out there folks. I want to lose the 20 pounds and you can watch me. Er, well, see my "daily plate."

I decided to sign up at The Daily Plate and start charting what I'm eating and what activities I am partaking in which at this point I'm stretching it. All I have is walking into work and playing with the dog. Oy vey!

Anyway, if any of you would like to join me feel free. Here is a link to my profile, it's free unless you choose to be a gold member which I have not. I'm really going to try guys and I know things are easier when you do them with friends so anyone who wants to join please do and then add me as a friend, ok?
