Last month when I turned 40, I made a decision that this year it was going to be about me. Yes me. I decided I was going to cut back on the volunteering (I was up to the point it was another full time job) and concentrate on me. I still have a lot of things going on, C's last year of high school, year round swimming, work and my second master's degree but it's my home life not giving my time away to someone or something else. It's about me.
I've been really good about eating that damn banana everyday. I can't help but sing that song while eating them - you remember it, right? The "Chiquita Banana" song first hit the air waves in 1944 when Miss Chiquita made her debut - we know the revised version:
"I'm Chiquita Banana and I've come to say - I offer good nutrition in a simple way - When you eat a Chiquita you've done your part - To give every single day a healthy start - Underneath the crescent yellow - You'll find vitamins and great taste - With no fat, you just can't beat 'em - You'll feel better when you eat 'em - They're a gift from Mother Nature and a natural additional to your table - For wholesome, healthy, pure bananas - look for Chiquita's label!"
Here's the kicker, I then end up singing the first line of the song (because it's all I can remember) at weird times throughout the day! There's got to be a better way, to get through this!
In my last blog, I told you I would let you know about the weigh in every month good or bad. So ... I weighed in last night. I gained 3 pounds. It's the damned bananas.
The good news is, I lost an inch of junk in my truck. It's the damned bananas.
More good news, I lost 1/4 inch around both thighs. YAY kick boxing!
That's all - no more news. Am I disappointed, yes. Did I have a feeling something like this was going to happen. Yes. I'm in it for the long haul - I knew I was going to gain a little weight before I would start losing (I hope). So, I am still on track by going to classes like I should. I'll weigh in again at the beginning of October and hopefully will have made some changes in other categories.
So there you have it, I've gained and I've lost. Sigh... but I'm not giving up. I can't. It's all about me.
