We all do it. Super Secret Eating Behavior. We all have something that we buy at the grocery store, or Target or walmart or the drive through that is usually located at the registers that we we wouldn't buy if friends were with us, or our kids were in the cart, or we saw our Weight Watchers Leader 2 people behind us in line. You know what it is, the pay day, the snickers, the reeses, the mini powdered donuts, the Dutch Freeze. And the whole reason why we buy them is that we know they won't make them home, they will be completely consummed in the car before we get to our next destination. Even the wrappers won't make it inside. They get shoved under the seat until clean the car daym, and then you take the car to a car wash so you can put it in a totally differant trash than your own. And somehow this super secret eating doesn't count for points. I am sure of it. It was never on the shopping, not in the bags when you got home so therefor it doesn't exist....right?

Unfortunately they do count. And I am pretty sure that none of us use sugar free jello as our SSEB object. they are usually high carb, high fat, low protien low fiber. In a nutshell high pointsplus. And it sucks. Cause I like them. They are geat for snacks (hence why there are called snack foods). I don't mind eating veggies with my actual meals, but for some reason they don't call my name when it comes to snacks.

So I guess I know what I need to work on that this week. Less SSEB.

P.S. if weight watchers ever decided to make donuts I would be one very happy girl.

    Did I inspire this? I promise I don't usually eat Reese's! I paid for it with a tummy ache later that night, too. Thanks again for shopping with me. Fun, Fun!

    Ahh but see I knew about your reese's thus it wasn't super secret eating behavior. The reason why I only had your water in my hand was that my dutch freeze was hiding seeing as how it was like 14 points.

    Alas, yes, veggies don't give that satisfied feeling of a SSEB. I think those snack foods also give us a tiny little feeling of being naughty. We think we are getting away with something, being sneaky like that. But, the only one we are cheating is ourselves. My personal SSEB is a tub of frosting. I can eat one of those and keep it a secret from just about anybody.

    How do I get through the check-out line? I allow myself to get something, but I choose gum, or a water, or a diet soda. That way, I am having an "impulse" buy, but I am killing my points off in a day.

    That also might be the reason I have 20 packs of gum stashed around the house and in my truck.

Welcome Back and Hip Surgery updates.

It's been a "little" while. As in a long while. And while so much happened in nearly 4 years since my last post, I will save all that catching up for another day. One of the biggest things though is that I had hip surgery earlier this year. I've gone through a lot and I have learned a lot too. In the coming weeks I will be sharing more details about the diagnosis and surgery itself, as well as some tips and tricks I learned surviving the time at home while living alone. For now, however, I just wanted to say "Hi, I'm Back, I've missed this",  and share my week-by-week updates from weeks 1 through 10.  January 20 :  I am HOME! It was a super early morning full of anxiety and nerves. Things rolled super smoothly once there. Pre-Op nurse got the IV started. Surgeon in and reviewed the planned surgery and left his initials on my hip. Anesthesia came in and cleared my airway and went over her part. OR Nurse walked me back to the OR, got me all settled on

Well, it's official. I am registered for my next half-marathon. I am once again doing the Holiday Half in December. It's been on the calendar for months, but I hadn't actually committed. I was kinda stuck. I was super nervous to register because I felt like my training wasn't going anywhere, I wasn't being consistent with it, my long walks weren't happening, the shin pain was back and all that kept me from registering. Yet, I also knew that by not registering I wasn't putting enough pressure on myself to be consistent with the training, because it wasn't official there was still a chance I wasn't gonna committ, so why put myself through it. But it is official now. I have registered, I customized my race bib, I selected my shirt size, I paid extra for the shuttle. I saved the confirmation email in the special folder labeled "race info". Now all that's left to do is pick the perfect race outfit. Oh, and train, I should probably kick the

Well, here I sit, with one of my favorite work perks. GameReady, I am mid 20 minute ice and compression session on my knee. Why on my knee you ask, well, let me tell you. Remember back in in january I told you about how I did a half marathon and made my knee mad and then I fell on the ice and made my knee madder and how I was taking Januray off from most workouts and was back in PT working on making my knee happy? Well we got it mostly happy again, and I started doing my walks again and it was beautiful. My pace was so much better than it was all of last year, and the knee felt better while working out, and the shin splints seemed to be gone. And then, one fateful st patrick’s day, I was doing the laundry, and I twisted, and there was a loud pop, and all the pain and then some came back. So back to PT I went. And my PT said the words I was expecting him to say back in december that he hadn’t “Maybe it is time to think about seeing ortho and getting an MRI”. So I did, well I saw the
