Oh, hi! Thanks for coming back. (I am not really sure how to start posts off... so I am just going to wing it each time). It's been one post since my last confession. I feel a little guilty- I started this blog for you all to read and now I am not keeping up my end of the bargain. I am not doing so good guys- I had pasta for lunch (technically my once a week...if I don't have one the rest of the week...which I WON'T) and had a panini for dinner last night (probably equally as bad). I did eat an apple though... and ordered brown rice with my thai tonight. Still, I am not feeling so great about this mission. Who knew it would be so tough? Oh, wait...I did. I usually am very good at putting my mind to something and accomplishing it. But, for some reason I feel like cannot REALLY do this. This is coming out a little more depressing than I mean it to be. All I mean is, I am going to try much harder this week and I need you all to hold me to it. Seriously...don't let me get away with this "confession" bullshit guys. A MOMENT ON THE LIPS IS FOREVER ON THE HIPS...even if you confess it!
This week is going to be my power week. It is going to start Wednesday, January 27th and last until February 3rd. Are you ready for what is about to come? I have a feeling I'm not...if I was Nick Arrojo on "What Not to Wear" right now, I would be saying "I am very scared..." Does anyone get that reference? I hope so. I think I am going to try to make slightly obscure references in each post. Anyway...back to POWER WEEK 2010, Marisa vs Unhealthy Foods...
1. I will eat some kind of salad for lunch every day with vinaigrette. (This is kind of a cheat thing to say...since I don't like any other dressing...but whatever).
2. I will try that exercise video that I have thrown behind my dresser and next to my pile of clothes (I am sure you all know exactly where I am talking about. By the way, did I tell you that the dresser is fully broken now? Yes... the top drawer's bottom literally fell through. In fact I am not sure where the bottom is.) I will do that video twice this week.
3. In addition to the video, I will not spend the entire Sunday in bed. I will go for a long walk. Feel free to join me.
4. I will make something healthy for dinner this weekend. I will get the recipe off of some Weight Watcher's website or something. I will post this recipe and tell you if its at all appetizing.
5. I will drink a glass of water before each meal.
6. I can't believe I am saying this- no bread this week. You know what? This is my Power Week. NO BREAD. NO PASTA. NO RICE. NO EXCUSES.
That's all I think I am ready to do right now. I think these weekly goals will be good- and I am sure on February 3rd I will be so skinny you won't even be able to see me. Haha- probably not, but I bet I'll feel good. Actually I'm not done, who sets goals without rewards? NOT ME! My reward, if I successfully accomplish all of the above mini goals will be a new dress. I will take pictures of it (and me...obviously...) with my "Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels" signs that I have taped to my mirror and fridge. Wait, did I tell you guys that? I have "Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels" taped on both my long mirror and my fridge. If you have come over recently, we may have hid them...but now that it's out in the open, no more hiding them. I am letting my freak flag fly! (Another Nick Arroyo reference...hehe...not really ;) ).
So, to recap, no bread (and all those other things) equals new dress, new me!
Have a great day/night, guys. xoxox, MarisaGirl (I know you all just got that reference...)
Hey Marisa!
ReplyDeleteI know its been like 63128912837 years since we've spoken but I just thought you should know that I am enjoying your blog. This entry was especially resonant - when I was growing up my mom always used to say that whole "moment on your lips lifetime on your hips" thing. I still think of it every time I eat ice cream.
I am currently reading a book called "The End of Overeating"- its really short and easy to read, (and if you haven't heard of it, I suggest you check it out). Its a little redundant and full of information that is basically common sense...BUT, as I usually eat way more calories than I need each day, reading this book totally helps turn me away from all the delicious super-bad-for-me things I want to be eating.
Anyway, good luck with your mission! (I will probably read all of your entries, so don't be surprised if I post again.)

Hi Odessa!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!! I will try to look at "The End of Overeating"...since one of my biggest problems is definitely eating like 6 cupcakes, when one will suffice! I am sooo glad that you are enjoying the blog!
