Win, Fail & Obsession

Happy Tuesday! I'm practically buzzing with excitement, because tomorrow I leave for vacation!!! My wonderful, sexy husband is FINALLY graduating from police academy. [helllooooo, handcuffs!], so we are headed 6 hours away to see him do so.

This last week has been a cluster for me. Work, packing, more work, it's just insanity. I realized there has been lots of WIN this week, but also lots of total FAIL. So I decided to break them down in this post. Also, I've been having a bit of obsession, but more on that at the end. Let's start with the WIN, shall we???

Total WIN. I finally wore a new, much smaller outfit to my co-worker's gathering Saturday night:

Not bad... no idea why I have such a goofy look on my face.

We won't mention the FAIL that was MT at said gathering. Let's just say, she needs to never consume that much alcohol again. Yet another WIN: I finally figured out what I'm wearing to my husband's graduation. Complete with the 'fuck me' boots. Hellz yeah.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but it works.

And a final WIN. I found that I don't look bad in hats! I got this cute number from Target, and I am totally in love with it. What do you think?

Don't mind my self-portrait fail...

And now for the FAIL. Food, food and more food. My co-worker's awesome wife made us some "Sex on your tongue" cake. Or at least that is what we decided to call it. It was freaking magical, and MT and I couldn't stay out of it. I believe it was pumpkin cheesecake of some kind with a rum/brown sugar/pecan glaze. Sooooo good. Sooooo bad for my ass.

There are no words to adequately describe how good this was...

Yet another food FAIL this week was Halloween candy. Have you guys tried the chocolate-covered peeps??? They are magic as well. Total ass-widening poofy marshmallow magic.

Mmmm... refined sugar....

Finally, I must mention the obsession. My scale and I are in a war. I know logically that I can't lose weight every day. I know my weight is going to fluctuate daily, and I need to focus on the long term. SO why do I step on it every morning??? Why do I obsess over my Go Wear Fit numbers like they are the end all, be all of my life?? I'm really not sure. However, I did something full on CRAZY last night. I took off my Go Wear Fit. I refuse to put it on until my vacation is over. I also refuse to step on the scale. Tough love, baby.

So I guess that is all for now. I leave you in Muffin Top's capable hands for the rest of the week. Don't have too much fun while I'm gone.

Tuesday Fat Stats - Week 38

This last week was EPIC!!!

Both FGS and me lost 3.4 pounds apiece! How freaking cool are we?

It's really quite amazing what can happen when you really apply yourself. I've always known that keeping track of your calories in / out is supposed to produce results. I guess maybe I just didn't believe that it would work for me. That no matter what I do, I will fail.

Well, self-doubt, put that 3.4 pounds in your pipe and smoke it!

Here are the numbers, I believe they speak for themselves:

Fat Girl Slim's Week 38 Numbers:

Muffin Top's Week 38 Numbers:

In case you didn't notice, I thought I would point out that I also lost 1.75 inches this week! Woot!!!

I really believe that getting my GoWear Fit has been a major catalyst in getting in gear. I'll write more on that another day though.

Feel free to tell us how fabulous we are in the comments :)

I Got A Go Wear Fit... And I've Fallen In Love With It.

Better get this out of the way... No one from the Go Wear Fit company or Body Media or anyone else for that matter is paying me to talk about this. I mean, c'mon. Our blog has like, fifty readers max? Trust me when I say NO ONE would pay us for this.

That said, I'm in lurve with a piece of technology, and you guys need to know about it. I want to marry and have little Go Wear Fit babies with it. I've only had it for five days, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to live without it again. For those of you not in the know, a Go Wear Fit is a little device you wear on your arm. While you go about your business, it measures everything your body is doing for you. Heart rate, steps taken, temperature, etc. Hell, it even measures your sleep efficiency!!!! This thing is freaking amazing. And better than all that, it plugs all the information into easily readable graphs, as well as letting you plug in your food intake!! Genius. Pure, freaking genius.

Behold.... The magic maker....

I've been coveting it ever since I started reading the Body By Pizza blog [because I want anything Rachel has, natch], but I don't think I realized how WAY useful that sucker is. Today is a prime example of the epic usefulness. Due to some SERIOUSLY poor food choices, I'm already 1911 calories in at 4:00pm. Well have no fear, dieting friends. My handy dandy GWF [that's Go Wear Fit, for all of you not into acronyms] will help me out. I will work out tonight until I burn enough calories to make up for it. I WILL achieve my 1000 calorie deficit. And I also will not eat dinner. [That's kind of a given, right?] Not that I'd even be hungry anyways. I'm sporting quite the food baby from my never ending pasta bowl.

I totes need this shirt today!!!!

To add to the recent GWF fun, Muffin Top and I decided to do a little competition. Stay tuned on Monday for that. Whoever burns the most calories, has the biggest deficit AND has the most logged exercise time will win a prize, or something. I'm always game for a little healthy competition. And there is no cheating, because the numbers don't lie, my friends!!!!

I hope you all have a fan-freaking-tabulous, calorie burning weekend!!! We'll see you Monday and show you all the results!!
