Out of Control Fatroll

I don’t particularly like admitting this, but the blog is all about transparency and accountability, so here I go.

Maybe it’s stress and a combination of utter laziness but I have completely stopped watching what I eat, haven’t worked out regularly in more than two months (current three times a week versus the five-to-six I was doing in Round 1) and I seemingly don’t care.

Until today. Amazing how all it takes is that previously perfect-fitting pair of jeans to show signs of trouble that knock you out of your funk. That and my Super Bowl gut bomb of cake, hamburgers and chicken wings resulted in a very upset stomach the following morning.

So, meet a newly energized Jenni — who is currently stuffed into a pair of too-tight jeans. After laying in bed this morning after snoozing through my morning workout, I came up with a plan. Starting TODAY (no, not the “Oh, I’ll start tomorrow”):

• No more soda. Ironic, given Ashley posted her thoughts on giving up soda this morning.
• No more sweets until final weigh-in come June. UNLESS I am celebrating someone’s birthday or for my wedding anniversary coming up in March. That means no more cupcakes or Gourdough’s.
• No overdosing on meat. Maybe I was inspired by the Man vs. Food Super Bowl episode, but celebrating the Saints’ win Sunday, I have never eaten so much meat. From now on, less carbs, more veggies — and no ODing on protein. It gives me the sweats, and kills my tummy.
• Back to working out five days a week. Ugh. My couch and bed are so comfy when I get home from work that I don’t want to get back out and run, go to the gym, hit the pool. No more excuses. I don’t want a @fatroll again. Yuck.

So, to help keep me accountable, I’m going to post my food intake and workouts over at my personal blog — jennijewel.blogspot.com. No reason to clutter up this site with that stuff. And if I don’t post one day, I honestly expect you guys to call me out on it.

I will look good in that bikini, dangit.
