Why I haven't posted

I weight 148 lbs. For those of you keeping track that is a GAIN OF TWO POUNDS. Lest you try to comfort me with the muscle weighs more than fat theory let me just say that my body fat content HASN'T CHANGED.
It is seriously enough to make me contemplate taking a pregnancy test just to make sure. (*note to brother's girlfriends who might potentially read this and call my brother, I am NOT making an announcement here.*)
There is a less than 99% possibility (assuming Mirena doesn't lie) that I am indeed pregnant but really, WHY CAN'T THIS WEIGHT DISAPPEAR?! One has to wonder.
On a serious note, I am contemplating a 2 week foray into the South Beach Diet way of life. I have done this once before. It isn't a way of life I could sustain but I found last time that it helped me break some of the bad carb habits that I have. You could suggest that I just 'cut back' on the homemade bread. (or stop making homemade bread but since we don't buy bread and the man likes toast in the morning that's not an option) But 'cutting back' isn't a strong suit of mine. So maybe for a couple of weeks we go with nothing to wean my body from the carb cravings....
Eh, we'll see. In the mean time I still go to the gym 3-5 times a week. (shooting for 5, usually hit 4). I still sweat like a pitcher of lemonade in July. I have begun to seriously target my core (read: fl-abs). And I still plan on turning this thing around a bringing home the golden squirt bottle!
