I'm not going to talk about work

This title says it all, huh? You know from that title the only thing I want to do is vent about work, but I'm not gonna do it.
No.

Instead let's talk about weight loss. I now weigh about 50 lbs more than I did in highschool. I know, effing gross. I'm not sure how I got here, no I do know.. Cheeseburgers. And pasta. And large portions of biryani and chicken tikka masala. Gorging at Sushi Sake. But it all comes down to one thing. And it's not carbs.

I'm happy, and when I'm happy I love eating. I don't understand people that eat when they're depressed or lonely or hurting in some way. When I'm going through something bad, I don't ever think about food. So I guess I am an emotional eater, but I eat when I'm not depressed or lonely or hurting.

Dear God someone give me some bad news so I can drop some pounds!
That was thoughtless and selfish, forgive me. Or be mad at me and say something mean in response so I can ruminate on it instead of heating up some leftover sausage.

All joking aside, Aaron and I are making a go of this healthy eating/working out thing. And although it's only been 10 days or so, I'm pretty confident that we'll be a much hotter version of ourselves in the months to come.

We've been eating between 1500-2000 calories a day and exercising. Although the exercise will be taking a brief hiatus for me (see 2 blogs ago) and Aaron has bandaged big toes that are not allowed to get squished into sneakers for at least a week.

We're saving a lot of money eating at home and buying weight watchers lunches for work (I'll miss you Wendy's). The master plan is to be hot for Mar's wedding in July because it's on a Cruiseship and this means there will be bathing suits involved and of course pictures. I'm also trying to strengthen my core b/c of my back and at some point this year I'd like to consider the possibility of gaining weight for a little Camp-er. I'm not sure how long it will take for it to happen but I'd like to be able to gain weight during that period. I would not only like to be able to carry a child in my womb, but I would also like to be able to pick it up when the little person is born! I can't keep throwing my back out.

I've lost 3 pounds so far and it's probably all water weight, but I'm hoping I can report back with some more results each month.
