I have been trying so hard to be careful of what I eat and how much of it I eat. I have found, the more I deprive myself, I crave the things I don't even like. Take for instance, ice cream. I don't like ice cream and lately, I want to indulge in an entire bucket!

What is a girl to do? I do not want to continue to be fat, here. I invested in a Kindle Fire, which I absolutely love, by the way. I downloaded three apps. One is a calorie counter. This has worked well in tracking my food, beverage, and exercise on a daily basis. The other, is a work-out app. It seems well enough. I've looked it over, but I haven't actually done the exercises. Well, I did the 'arm' exercises today while sitting at my desk. The third, is an under 600 calories! YAY! All the fast food crap that I can get for under 600 calories. This app would be great, but I don't eat fast food.

*sigh* I haven't lost any weight. I'm merely getting fatter. It's frustrating. I am eating only 1200 calories a day, sometimes less, like 1000. That's really not a lot if you think about it. That is one of those really yummy pulled pork sandwiches at T.G.I Fridays. Yes, they have 995 calories just for the sandwich! That is not including the fries. I am happy to say, I only ate half the sandwich and well, I don't like fries so I didn't eat them.

I am supposed to do my workout this evening. My kids have decided to watch, "The Lorax" as a family. I very well could exercise and watch the movie as they all sit and indulge in Cookie Dough and/or Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, but frankly, working out in front of them all while they are watching the movie makes me uncomfortable. Seriously, how would you feel if you were trying to relax and watch a movie and someone is huffing away, gasping for air, sweat beading on their forehead? Ewe. We are watching the Lorax here, not the April Sutton Jiggle Massacre.

I guess I can come up with every excuse not to exercise. I do have to say, I've started going to Zumba on Tuesday nights with some friends. It's fun. Of course, I have no rhythm, but I'm okay with that.

So I guess I will watch my movie with the family, minus the ice cream and pop corn. Only because I'm all out of popcorn. That's a good thing. I am on a protest to buy more. I love microwave popcorn so I've boycotted it.

There you have it. No weight loss 21 days into the new year and I'm as fluffy as ever. I will not give up, though. I will prevail!
