Eggs-plosion

As part of my eating healthy plan, I am eating a lot of egg whites.  This morning I had a grapefruit and an egg white.  My son saw the egg and wanted one -- I have been cooking the egg whites in the microwave, because it is so fast and easy... so I went ahead and put the yolk from mine with his egg and put them in the microwave after mine cooked.

I don't know how I have never heard that you need to be careful when nuking eggs.... but I know I am not soon going to forget.

After about 30 seconds I heard a loud -- and I mean LOUD (try it for yourself if you don't believe me)  BOOM.  One egg yolk exploded all over inside my microwave.  I took the the bowl out and thought I had better poke the other yolk with a fork so it wouldn't explode too... 

As soon as I touched it with my fork it blew up too... this time, all over my face and the kitchen.  It was even louder than the first one because there was nothing to muffle it.    A little crazy and scary.

Needless to say, my son would not eat an egg after that, and in his cute 2 year old voice he said,

"Mommy, you need to go take a shower!"

Ah, the adventures of trying to eat healthy.

Water

I am trying super hard to stay hydrated -- 100-150 oz of water a day.  Which means I am making 5 times as many trips to the bathroom... but it will be worth it if staying hydrated helps my body lose the unneeded weight. 

Ummm

Not so good...

I need to make November my month--- 

Does anyone want to come over and hide all the halloween candy?

Back

So after a week trip to Florida and the Disney meal plan for 5 days... I think October is a wash... I just hope that I am not even heavier than when I started.   I am planning on November being a much better month.

Hopefully I can check everyone's blogs soon and see how everyone is doing... but first need to tackle the mountains of laundry.

Tomorrow

So, we head to Disney World this week.  I am so excited to watch the expressions on my kids faces.

I have been exercising, but still not eating like I know I need to.  

Not much else inspiring coming out of me these days... If I don't have a fire lit under me when we get back from our vacation... I might just need one of you ladies to light one for me.

Keep the lbs dropping ladies!

Painting instead of Panting

This time of year is the busiest time for me in my little world of creating things.  I have been painting until midnight or one am for several weeks straight.  I continue to run, but they have been shorter, and my eating habits have been sliding.  I don't have any good excuses... when are any excuses good?  All I can say is that I have to make a decision to just do it, and haven't the past few weeks.  

Here are a few pics of what I have been doing...

This week I WILL step it up -- I don't want to be shaped like these little Santas :)

October

This weekend my mother-in-law kept the kids and my hubby and I went to Vancouver for a much needed break (I have been painting an insane amount of hours a day and it was nice to not feel like I needed to be doing it every second).

The bad part is, that I paid no heed to what I ate, and we are planning a family trip with my sister and her hubby to Disney World in 2 weeks.  Her hubby is getting back from a year in Afghanistan and we can't wait!  I know I won't be too worried about my eating then either... so I have to make the other weeks count.
