Don't Hate Me ....

Oh Food Baby, how I have pretended for so long you are not there.
Oh Food Baby, how I have let you get out of control.
Oh Food Baby, you suck.

Hello Blog world!
I am back.
It has been so so long.

It has been over a year since I have been on this. I have done a lot, and haven't done even more. You would probably thinking, "Oh, its been a year since Tanya has posted, she must be busy working out and getting in shape and is far too busy for the internet...." You would be so wrong.

Since my last post, I will try to give you a bit of a catch up. Well, summer last year I broke my foot and then for some reason thought that the cure to a broken bone was kraft dinner. Me and KD has a love affair for months in which I would eat almost a whole box, like... multiple days a week. Needless to say, I gained over 25 lbs in those few months. I had worked so hard and was beat by some cheesy pasta. On the plus side, I can make it pretty yummy now.

So then after all that mess, winter happened. I live in Canada so, if you don't know winter=layers and layers=safety. I can pretend the bulk is caused by the seven sweaters I am wearing and not the 25 pounds of KD and icecream I ate.

Then came January. I really do this every year with the new years resolutions, alongside the rest of the population. So then I decided to change - but didn't. I do that a lot.

Then February passed and nothing changed. And then March started and nothing was changing. Then I remembered if I want things to change I need to actually do something about it. So as of March 15th I changed.

I got my teeny composition notebook and did the unthinkable: I weighed myself.

It was not only shocking, but incredibly heartbreaking. The act of writing down that number and realizing that I had thrown away last years efforts and have to not only start over but start at a higher weight then before was just such a kick in the food baby.

Then comes Day 2. My weight dropped a couple pounds overnight. I figured that "Oh, well this wont be that hard" but then Day 3, 4, 5, 6, came and it didn't move. So then I remembered that its never easy. if it was easy I wouldn't have lost many months of work in an unfortunately KD overdose incident.

Alright so, I have been tracking my weight everyday and tracking calories for 93 days. Not every day has been perfect, most days aren't. I have been having a bad few weeks the last month because I recently finished university so its kind of a "celebratory" style snacking and probably partially stress from realizing I now am in the real world and I am in no way ready or willing to do that.

This week I got back on track. I tracked my calories all week. I started running on my trampoline on Tuesday. I jogged for 30 minutes which may not sound like a lot but on my old lady knees that was good. And then I was not a lazy idiot and ran again on Wednesday, and then I did 40 minutes on Thursday, and then AGAIN today! I know it doesn't sound like much but you know what for me that is pretty impressive.

So as of today I am back down 16 lbs in the last 13 weeks. So, I am not back where I was when I broke my foot but I am getting there. I refuse to help anyone move without steel toes though... That shits dangerous.

I think that is all for now. I really haven't blogged in a while. I was going to start a new blog about other stuff because this ones just about weight loss, but then I noticed this one and thought I should update. Also it had all kinds of page views and I don't know how that happened but thanks I think! I will update it more often and try to be useful.

PS- I just previewed this and the ad was for baby stuff and that is concerning and wrong. stupid babies get off my blog! I guess the whole "food BABY" confuses them. lol
