My Chubby Butt - Some highs but mostly chocolatey lows


A week of high’s and low’s, but mostly low’s culminating in 0 weight loss.

I replaced the dead pedometer. The new one also met an untimely demise. Cheap crap. Can anyone recommend a pedometer that doesn’t work its way off your pants and reset itself every time you or your fat roll touches it? I’m all ears!

I started the week beautifully. I find it really easy to eat well when I’m at work. I’m busy and I pack a well thought out lunch. All goes according to plan – until I get home. Cold winter weather makes me want to eat hot, sweet things. Like pudding. There was a pudding incident, it went something like this.

My sister, who lives around the corner, sent me a text:

Sister: Do you have vanilla ice cream? 
Chubby Butt: Yup. 
Sister: So if I were to make a chocolate saucy pudding, could I trade you some pudding for ice cream?
Chubby Butt: Hell yes!
Sister: I shall start cooking then! 
Chubby Butt: Groovy 

It’s winter – I couldn’t help it! And it get’s worse. I went to see Magic Mike – a breast cancer fundraiser. After the movie we all went to McCafe and I drank this:


But it was on skim milk! To make up for all this badness, I co-opted the evil pudding sister to go for a big walk on the weekend.




It didn’t help. My chubby butt lost no weight. So today is Monday and I am back to drinking shakes for lunch. Hopefully this week won't be made up of such epic weight loss fails!

The answer is - running.

Today I have eaten five fredos, a bowl of soy ice cream with gluten free brownie, a handful of gluten free party mix lollies, three handfuls of cashews, as well as three regular meals.

If you want to eat this shit, which I certainly do, you gotta run :)

Ha ha ha, this weather is more conducive to hot chocolatey saucey goodness than running and salad! You're only human! Better luck this week x

I never could diet or cut out my weaknesses (coffee and pastries). I made up for it with extra exercise and still got in shape!! Of course, I'm pregnant again, so it's all ruined now. Hopefully I can get into the groove again after baby #2 gets here. :) Don't be discouraged with a bad week, just keep on trying. And hey, I think no weight gain means it wasn't a total fail! That's what I'd always tell myself anyway. :D

No evil sister!

Indeed I am! Lol

I'm planning to have another baby - eventually. It does make you wonder why you put in all the effort when it's all going to turn to crap anyway! Regardless, I'll keep trying...

Well said! But now I have to run lol

Sadly, I would not have been able to resist that pudding either! Looks amazing! Never mind, each day is a new day! It's never too late to try again :)
