But for some strange reason, we have not had a meal at McDonald’s for over 2 months. I think that’s a record for us. We weren’t avoiding it on purpose; we’ve just been eating at other places. We do like their low-point ice cream cones, though. Mmmmmm. And their Cinnamon Melts, but I’ve found a grocery store alternative that is waaaayyyy less points, so I can feed my cravings with that. :P Anyway, my mom, Bethany and I ate at McDonald’s for lunch today, and my stomach has been churning for 7 hours! Could it be? Did I actually go through some sort of detox, and now have I joined the ranks of adults who refuse to eat there at all costs? Maybe. I don’t want to feel like this again. :/

McDonald’s detox
OK, I admit it. I didn’t believe people when they said McDonald’s food messes with their digestive system. I’ve been eating there for years and it never bothered me. I watched SuperSize Me, and was slightly deterred for a short time. My doctor said she can’t bring herself to eat there anymore because real food decomposes. Have you ever seen a McDonald’s French fry in your car a year later? It looks the same. LOL

Rewards! More than I expected!
I set out to go shopping for size 14 pants/capris/skirts today, because my new 16s are already too big and my 18Ws are literally falling off my hips! CJ Banks, a plus size women’s store, has been one of my favorites for awhile now, and I was so excited to finally be shopping in the chain’s regular sizes store, Christopher & Banks, for the first time ever! Then I discovered that all their pants/capris/skirts were Buy One, Get One FREE!!! (Usually it’s BOGO ½ off.) So I quickly browsed the store picking up size 14s and one size 12 out of curiosity. Imagine my shock and elation to discover that ALL of the 14s were already too big! I ended up with a size 10 skirt and a size 12 pair of capris! I have not been this size for 12 years; my wedding dress was a 14 I am so excited!!!
That said and celebrated, I think that store run might run a little big. At Wal-mart, I’m still a 14. I guess I’ll see when I go to JC Penney’s to use my $10 off coupons. :)
UPDATE: I really am a 12! I bought jeans at Penney's today. :) I'm shocked!

Still On The Wagon, Barely…
I’ve had several people ask what happened to my blog in the last couple of weeks. I lost January to an intense househunt and then visiting my sister for a week. But then I also watched all 4 seasons of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman in a couple of weeks. My addictive personality really shows itself with TV. I’m so glad we don’t have cable anymore, but maybe we need to revoke my Netflix and Hulu privileges too!
So, I haven’t been thinking about my eating habits much, and I’ve blown many days in this New Year. I did commit to losing another 10 pounds in 10 weeks, and I’m 6 weeks in. I’ve lost…. 3.5 pounds. I think 10 pounds is still achievable if I work hard! I have had zero desire to exercise, and knowing that I *should* exercise doesn’t light much of a fire. The girls both waking up at 5am 3 of the last 5 days does not help my energy level either.
OK, snap out of it Michelle! Get back on it and quit making excuses. :P
