Our stomachs are full... OF MCDONALDS that is!!! Argh! Travis has been dying to use his Gift Card that he got from work when he left this summer. I am still wondering why they got him a McDonald's gift card. They used to always comment on the oh so FABULOUS lunches Travis got to take to work :-) Compliments of me of course! Ha ha! But seriously he did have some pretty good lunches.
Anyway, here we sit, watching Monday night football (well sorta), feeling hungover sick from McDonald's, with over $200 dollars of groceries in our refrigerator. Why? Because my pants don't fit! And because Travis's pants are beginning to fit. Most of the weight gain is contributed to the amount of stress we have been under since our move, but some of it is due to our pathetic mournful eating habits that are strictly a result of us wallowing in our lack of employment sorrows! So I have decided to hit the extreme old faithful diet program. SOUTH BEACH DIET.
Yes, yes, I said it... DIET! I hate the ideas of diets. But when you get to the point we have allowed ourselves to get to you really have to reset your mind and body so that you are eating better when it's all said and done. We eat super awesome healthy meals typically. But lately all of that sugar has grown lips and teeth and a tongue and does a darn good job of calling my name! And Travis is no exception. He has succumbed to the calls too.
And tomorrow morning the starvation commences! So we are going to walk hand in hand down the diet trail until we get so cranky from the lack of caffeine and sugar we begin trying to push one another off the path... Coping skills will definitely come into play in the upcoming weeks. So continue to think of us as you eat your fabulous meals and go to your fabulous jobs. Oh, and did we mention.... Be thankful for every pay check you get because there is someone out there in the world tonight just dreaming of the day that they can scrub a toilet or clean out a horse stall for a couple of bucks pay....
We'll keep you posted on our adventures as they arise.
