Back on Track

I did it this morning... I stepped on the scale for the first time in like 2 months. I knew I shouldn't, I knew it would not be good, I knew it would cause that chill up my spine. Now, for those of you who know me, or those who don't, you are thinking, whoa hold on there missy, there is no need for you to worry, you look great. And yes I am not saying I am fat. I am in touch with reality that I am thin. But we all have that ideal weight, that happy place where we feel free to wear a tummy-baring shirt or well a bikini. And for an ex-pageant girl this ideal can be a little out of touch with reality.

I had brunch with two of my ex-queen sisters Sunday and we discussed this very thing. It is hard to go from pageant diet to real life. It's hard to go from egg whites and chicken to well... carbs. I have been out of the biz for a lil longer than my other two counter-parts and have managed quite well, but suddenly it has hit me. I blame it on the impending big 3-0... My body has decided it hates me from my total junior high breakouts to the extra 5 pounds that I just cannot seem to get back off from girls' weekend.

So, as summer looms ever closer ( I mean it was like 90 this weekend) I am going to get back on track! No more trail mix after-dinner-snack, extra bowl of cereal, small pieces of candy at work, or flavoured lattes! I've got one more diet dr. pepper in the fridge and after that no more! Just 5 small pounds and I will be happy. So, bring on the great toning exercises, metabolism boosting snacks, and a way for me to not feel like I'm starving at 9am and 3pm....

And watch out for a new design launching soon! ~The Illegal Blonde

  4. It always bothers me when I say I feel gross or I've gained weight & people go what no you're so thin stop it. It's like we all have a goal weight we'd like to always be it doesn't mean we think we're like some huge beasts! Haha! I cannot wait for the blog makeover!!!! Send me your button HTML code asap! Yay!!!

  5. I understand that ma'am; I've become so focused on the scale and what I eat . . . I blame law school. :) Shane has just started me on a diet where I actually eat more and lift heavy weights since I managed to run off all of my muscle mass. Whoops. Fingers crossed it works! You're gorgeous btw!! It's nice to see someone else deals with issues like this too; even if they're not exactly the same as mine.
