Diets, music, and piggin' out....

So....once again I've decided to try and shed several unwanted pounds. I'm letting more and more of them creep up/on, and I just don't feel good about it. Weight Watchers online works well for me but I want to get a jump-start, so yesterday I ordered from NutriSystem. I did NutriSystem years ago when I was working and it worked really well. Of course, I was busy running around taxing the kids to and fro -- not to mention working two parttime jobs. That helped. Actually it hurt before NuriSystem because I didn't have time to plan, cook, and eat, so drive-thrus became my really good friends. NutriSystem might not have been the tastiest but it was there and pretty much ready to eat. All I had to do was hand them money each week in exchange for a sack full of food.

Truth be told, I've tried NutriSystem two times since and didn't stick with it. I just couldn't get psyched enough to be able to stomach the dinners. I was fine with the breakfasts and lunches -- not the dinners. So....since I'm so familiar with their food selections by now (Sigh!) I have a plan of attack. I just ordered breakfasts and lunches. I'll use Weight Watchers' recipes for dinner. We'll see if that works. Fingers crossed.

As for the music, I ordered something from Amazon that qualified me for $5 worth of free music downloads. I offered it to the kids when they were here but didn't get any takers so I started using it before the Jan. 31 expiration date. I ordered Sleepy Tigers by xoxoPanda (I think), and a couple of songs from Alison Krauss. Now if I get my iPod to sync with the desk top computer I'll be in good shape. My laptop is still sitting there -- needing to be worked on.

Now, here comes the really sad part of this post. Sad because I do this to myself every time before I start seriously dieting. Just before officially going on a diet, I pig out. So sad -- not to mention stupid. All it does is make for an extra pound or two. You'd think I'd learn, but....nope. Here's my problem, every time I get something from my freezer I see that casserole of dressing left from Christmas. So....since I'm starting my diet soon, I figured it's a good time to thaw, heat, and eat that fattening dish. And that's just what will happen tonight. I have some chicken breasts maranading, a pot full of peas simmering on the stove, and some yam patties thawing. That along with some Sister Schubert's rolls will be dinner. I think I'll put a WW's coke cake in the oven. Maybe then I won't feel so guilty.
