Why 10 lbs? Well, 10 lbs ago I was happy with my weight. I was exercising alot and I was eating less crap and I felt good and I felt healthy. That's my goal. To feel good about my health and appearance. I had slowly gained about 5 lbs before I got pregnant by being a lazy bum. I had pretty much accepted that that was my new 'normal' weight. Now I weigh 5 lbs more than I did when I got pregnant and I had almost accepted that as my new 'normal.' Then, it suddenly occurred to me that, if I have another kid, I might just tack on 10 more lbs and get used to that. Where do you draw the line?! Well, I've drawn my line and it's 10lbs less than I am now. So... I'm running and I'm eating better and I'm crossing my fingers that that is all that's necessary to lose 10 lbs by May 15th?!
One of my major problems, besides loving to eat, is that I snack alot. There are a few of what I think are 'healthier' snacks that I really enjoy so I thought I would share:
LOVE THESE!
I make it without the booze and it's just as good and it's filling! It does need to be diluted a little...YUM!
The first time I tried these, I actually pressed the wrong numbers on the vending machine at work and I was M-A-D because I was really looking forward to the Twix (pre goal setting). Anyway, they are surprisingly good especially the Caramel Corn. So, if there is something really great out there that is a semi-healthy snack, fill me in... besides fruit and vegetables. I've got that covered.

Good for you. Now you really have to loose 10 lbs since you blogged about it.
You should take a before and after pic.
Good for you. Now you really have to loose 10 lbs since you blogged about it. You're braver than me.

you are cracking me up. I'm not convinced that putting it on the blog works - it didn't for me. Warner is suppose to be potty trained and off the paci!!
Ha! don't tell me that Ging... this has to work. Remember we're going to the beach in June!
Why don't you just throw that paci out of the window. Will he really freak out? What about cutting the end off and giving it to him like that... i've seen that done before.???
without the booze? i know i haven't seen you in a while but ... i'm sure you are beautiful but totally understand about accepting new norms ... it' a slippery slope ... hope to see you sooon!!
are the wasabi and soy sauce nuts a part of the goal? wouldn't bloody mary mix without the alcohol taste like V8? i don't like drinking that stuff, but the only way i can make it go down is keep saying "i'm drinking 200 servings of vegetables!" also, i liked the story about the Twix disappointment. haha
