Sunday Sunday Sunday - If you're here that means you're not watching the Falcons play.
Just waiting for the Weird Weightloss Tip of the Day!
The Toothpaste DietYou don’t have to suck down tubes of toothpaste, but that minty fresh taste can help you stick to your diet.
If portion control is your dieting downfall and you can’t resist your favorite goodies, brush your teeth with mint-flavored toothpaste.
It’ll tell your brain the meal’s over. If you’re tempted to take another bite, you’ll quickly find out that most food doesn't taste good with a mouth full of cool mint flavor.
Plus, the slick feeling of clean teeth is enough to keep most people from wanting to chow down more.
Your dentist will thank you, too, because brushing your teeth after meals is good hygine!
If you don't have a toothbrush and toothpaste on hand every time you eat, or if you feel a snack attack coming on, chew sugarless mint gum instead.

What? It's Friday?!
Most children are already back at school, but mine are out until January 10th this year. They had classes right up until the 23rd. It seems unusual- which it is, but I actually like this schedule - having them home 2 weeks after Christmas when they already have all their new toys and items to play with.
Anyway, that's my reasoning for just now realizing I missed the Wednesday Weigh-In And Thursday Measurements!
Here we go.
WEDNESDAY WEIGH IN: Ok I cheated. On Tuesday I weighed myself and had lost 2 pounds! But then I had a sweet tea and not as much water and boom on Wednesday I reported in at the exact same 167. Boo Hiss
THURSDAY MEASUREMENTS:
Chest 42
Waist 37
Hips 43
Thigh 24.5
Calf 16
Arm 13
Better luck next week!

New Year's Resolutions
Day 2 Hour 12 Captain's Resolution Log...
Ok it's not that bad but it has it's moments. I'm having withdrawal symptoms people. From coke.
I'd be less embarassed if it was crack cocaine but it's not, it's CocaCola. Born and raised in Atlanta, the Coke capital of the world, it's in my veins. And on my thighs, and in my muffin top.
My new year's resolution was giving up sugary drinks at home. I didn't think I could go cold turkey so I will allow myself a southern reprieve of sweet-tea or coke when at a restraunt but not at home. It doesn't seem like much but it adds up.
One in the morning, one with dinner even that alone adds up to 310 calories a day of NOTHING. There are 3000 calories in a pound, so if you did nothing different in your eating and exercising habits but drank two cokes a day, you'd gain 1 pound every 10 days... that adds up to 36 pounds a year. AND that's about what has happened to me in the past two years. I'm hoping the reversal will have some effect but I know it's not going to be 100% but it will be a help.
So guys, support me in stopping my drinking habit!
