Nutritional Headaches and other musings
Why is it everytime I begin a diet, I always develop a (insert adjective of choice) headache? No wonder why so many diets fail. I think I am going to invent a diet drug. It isn't going to curb hunger or make you burn fat faster. It is simply going to give you a slightly high feeling (minus the munchie factor, of course) It will also allow you to feel like you are floating. Thus you will automatically feel lighter and feel like you are instantly losing weight.
Another side effect of the intitial eating right phase, you feel zapped of all energy because of the lack of caffeine. Thus, the whole working out thing doesn't even start until after the first three weeks.
When I was in labor (both times) I remember telling myself: this is only temporary, it can't last forever. I think the philosophy of this too will pass will last me the first 20 pounds. I am hoping that some new ray of inspiration will quickly follow.
It is really bad when your motivations for losing weight don't have anything to do with vanity, but with the lack of energy that results in hauling an extra (insert obscene number of your choice) of weight around.
I am formulating my new year resolutions list. Here are a few:
Get more sleep
Better time management
Make my savings account grow
Buy a piece of excercise machinery and use it
buy an ipod
lose some weight
Get my hair highlighted
Get new glasses
Go on a vacation somewhere I have never been before (hopefully NY)
Make a to do list everyday
Organize my house
Visit temple more often
Develop a social life
In other news, Hannah is so close to walking. She walks around everything and even lets go sometimes. I give it another 2 weeks and she will be running around. I can't believe her birthday is on the 24th. I am going to have a party for her.
Yawn, it looks like I am going to observe the first item on my resolution list tonight. I am headed to bed.
