Curse of the Carb Gut

It's always interesting to me how people gain or lose their weight. Some people lose it in their butts or gain it there. Some people in their breasteses, or thighs. For me it's in my gut. And I hate it!!! If you gain weight in your butt no one really notices, until you turn around. But the gut is right in the front and is one of the first things people notice. When I gain weight, it's in my gut. I guess it's a good thing that it comes off little bits at a time. I would just rather have my weight gain somewhere other then my gut. I hate having a front butt, it's so disgusting. But I'm working on it. Yesterday was a good day. If I can remember what I ate. Thinking, thinking, thinking. Oh ya, shake for breakfast, quesadilla and cabbage soup for lunch, snack (not so good) york peppermint patty, and for dinner butternut squash soup with croutons. I could have done without the croutons, but there was nothing to the soup but veggies and broth. It's an amazing recipe and so ding dang good for you. Just like the cabbage soup. Nothing but veggies and broth. I hope that by eating cabbage soup before lunch, and a salad before dinner that will help to get rid of my dreaded carb gut. It's good that I am writing today because this day hasn't started out so well for me. I get in such a hurry and too busy and it's so easy to make wrong choices. It's seems like the wrong choices, when it comes to food, are more often then not the easy ones. The mini candy bars sitting on the counter from last night. Ya, that's what I've been snacking on today. I'm going to do better today. My gut isn't going to go anywhere unless I stop these dreaded old habits of mine.

Yesterday was a great day of exercise. I made it to the gym again and ran for 3 miles. I stopped a few times, but it felt so good to get 3 miles under my belt again. I can feel it working in my whole body. My back, my core and my legs. It's different running on a treadmill. I prefer the out of doors. But this will have to due for the winter months. After going to the gym i went and worked out with Melissa as well. It was a great day of work outs.

Not so much today. I had a super late night last night and I just couldn't get myself up. I should have. But I didn't. I was going to work out at 9am but things just didn't work out like I planned them to be. And that's how life is sometimes. Which is a stronger reason for me to be extra careful with what I put in my mouth. Careful, careful. But I'm not going to beat myself up over tiny mistakes.
