We were gone over the 4th weekend. Why does a weekend with my family always turn into diet disaster? I'll tell you why: BACON!
As you know bacon is the fairy dust of food. It makes everything it touches better. Oh, and there was the birthday cake and ice cream, and Dad's spaghetti, and a cook out, and, and, and, and the French truffles my brother gave me for my birthday -- oh for all that is good and holy, keep those awaaay from me in the future.
I had a revelation last night. We've been doing this Nielson TV ratings survey over the last week. We're supposed to write down everything we watch on TV (and here is where I have to say it will be an easy calculation for us: Food Network or Fox News, and Office re-runs. Seriously, that's our TV viewing...really exciting!). I was really good about it, bordering on obsessive. Then it hit me, just like I shoulda had a V-8. Why am I not doing that with my food diary??!! Charting what I eat is WAY more important than what I'm watching on TV!!
I really need to get back into this. Great thing my bathroom is being torn up next week, so I'll have nothing else to concentrate on, or anything!
Anyway, I find that I am constantly recommitting to this, without much success. I need to find something that will make my re commitments stick so that the pounds won't.

This reminds me of TV helping me do a good thing, too. Last winter I would always watch Biggest Loser & just sit on the couch & when I really felt defiant, I would just down my snacks & desserts, too, while watching them. But I decided to start doing a quick strength training during all the commercials. I could almost get through a whole 30 minute work out of push ups, sit ups, lunges, etc. One commercial at a time. Now there's no more biggest loser & the push ups have gone away, too. So I've had to find something new to tie them to, so that I still keep the habit. :)
So Natalie, what do you do to strenght train during commercials? I know that's something I need to do as well....is there a website or book with ideas?
