TCTBTF: Week 11

Filed under Too Cute To Be This Fat
I’ve gained one pound. This puts my 11 week total at -2. I suck monkey balls.
I had two fuck-ups this week. I ate a piece of cheesecake and I was molested by the golden arches.
Fucking golden arches.
I’m going to Dick’s Sporting Goods later today for a jump rope. My mom likes walking the subdivision, I HATE walking the subdivision. I like going with a purpose and just walking around cul-de-sacs seems pointless to me.
I know the point is to lose weight. Shut up.
One bad meal, one slice of cheesecake, and no working out = +lb.
I don’t even know why I’m writing this. Are you enjoying this? Do you enjoy to read about my failure? Does this help you? If it helps you, I suppose I’ll continue. I mean, everything can’t be about me all the time, right?


Nina is a 34-year-old mother, wife and writer who spends her days blogging, studying, changing diapers and watching ridiculous amounts of TV. She currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, two children and three TiVos.




My Dr told me I need to exercise regularly, she also told me to start having babies. You tell me where my priorities should lie. I think lose weight then have babies.

LikeI don't enjoy hearing about your "failure", but I do enjoy knowing that you are human and that you are beating yourself up far more than any of us ever could.
I hope you get back on the wagon, soon... for your own sake.. ;o)

LikeMy daughter just turned 4 and I'm still this fat! I feel ya. It sucks. I had dinner with two of my high school buddies who both recently had babies and they were just as skinny as could be except with the little added zest of some curves now. Bitches. I secretly hoped they'd get fat soon while I was eating my chicken and staring at them.

LikeI feel your pain... literally. I got a bicycle 10 weeks ago and i have been riding 3-4 times a week since I bought it. I am down at least one size with one more size to go. On wednesday night I had an accident on my bike. I lost balance and started to fall. The handle bars turned and my thigh got impaled by the hand brakes as my body proceeded to fall on the top of the bike. I went to the ER with a hole 3 inches deep in my thigh. I am having trouble walking, much less biking. I have no idea how long this will take to heal, and until it does, I can't get back on my bike. I am so worried that sitting around eating comfort food is going to really set me back. I am scared I am going to gain weight back.

LikeIts very frustrating to step on the scale and see we've only lost a pound. If you lose motivation when you see that, you should image search "what a pound of fat looks like". I wasnt able to put the pic up but its motivating to physically see what youve lost. Cheers to everyone thats managed to lose even a pound!

LikeAre you crazy? These are my favorite blogs.
The culde sac is better than the track at the park(when i do go) I am still at the same weight for the past month. I eat the same and if I could just start working out I would actually lose weight. lol
No more cheesecake. Go walk with mom.........and enjoy it. lol
Good luck.

LikeI'm too scared to weigh myself this week. I got mistaken for a pregnant woman at the hospital when I was pooching my stomach out at my mum. I was saying "Feel it! It's as hard as rock!!" at the time, but hey! I just said "I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat!"

LikeI enjoy it, because it shows that even skinny folks have the capacity to feel challenged just like me. Yet, it is inspirational to see you get up, dust off, and press on. :-)

LikeI enjoy it, it helps me realize I'm the only one trying to lose weight and putting off working out.... I think walking around the cul-de-sac is pointless too... but if it's not walking around there we hav eto do something if we want to lose... weight that is... not the battle.

LikeIt’s hard, that’s it! It’s just plain hard. I’ve been battling this stuff since I had my two kids 13 years ago. I exercise and eat well. It gets worse the older you get -- I’m 46 yrs. Girl, get it down now…
Here’s the icing on the cake. I’m in an office competition -- the Biggest Loser. I’ve been in first place the entire time and fell to second place. This week with St. Patrick’s Day, I brought in cupcakes. One guy who’s in third place ate four of them. He doesn’t exercise and he lost 2 lbs. this week. He’s still in third place.
Now, if that doesn’t make an exercising fool unhappy while dieting, I don’t know what will.
Cheer up and don’t stop…

LikeAfter I had my baby girl 6mos ago I lost all my pregnancy weight and I have since gained ...(refuses to count) quite a bit back. I for one like reading the ups and the downs. Nina, you've done so well in the past I'm sure you can do it again. I imagine it's harder to diet while breastfeeding so don't be too hard on yourself.
Me personally, I know what I need to do to lose weight I just can't follow thru. I'll sit and make a healthy menu for the family (hubby has lost 20lbs in 3 mos, hate him! :P), but I keep making excuses for myself.
Jumping rope sounds like a good idea. Thankfully, the weather is warming up here and I plan to do more outdoor stuff. I say stuff cause nothing sounds appealing, but I'll make myself try something. The other day I got on the trampoline with my older and I felt faint, not a good sign.

LikeI enjoy it...and its good for you.
Jump rope is a good idea. I also suggest running lines, you know, like they made us do in high school? Do a set at a time and rest for one minute in between. That's what my trainer made me do and it really pulled the weight off. Email me if you want more info.

LikeTrue dat. It was pure hell. Our drill was everyone ran them in a certain amount of time (tiny seconds!) or we ran them again until we all got them in that time frame. Suicides indeed.

LikeHahaha.
You have four points you run to and back to the start.
Actually, the easiest way would be to try it out in an empty parking lot with lined spaces. Start at the beginning of a row, run to the line of the next space, then back, run to the line of the third space, then back, fourth space, then back, fifth space, then back, rest one minute and start over. Run hard though. That's key. Do five sets. You could do it at home once too if you measured out the distances- set out lawn chairs at the five points or something.
The idea is to shock your body and make it work harder, hence making it burn the weight.
