Phlegm..Party of one?

So thank God for the Zpack! I started feeling better the next day once on that.

I felt great this week, but now I'm losing my voice again, and I feel like I have a tumor the size of a golf ball imbedded in the back of my throat. That can't be a good sign.

The diet is going great! Last night I went out to eat with Steph. We went to Hector's at 5pm and waited for what seemed like 3 hours so that we could just sit and spoon the yummy salsa into our mouthes. Yes, it's THAT good!

We both behaved ourselves...erm considering we are BOTH on diets (right, Miss I crave gas station burgers when awake in the morning). We shared one basket of chips with lots of delicious fresh salsa. For dinner I had a taco salad with grilled chicken. When asked what they offer for fat free or low fat dressing the skinny bitch that possibly graduated in my class says that they only have fat free Italian. IF I WANTED ITALIAN DRESSING I WOULD BE AT OLIVE GARDEN...I ended up getting some regular ranch on the side, but didn't even end up using it. The salsa was so good I just used more of that for dressing. I ate about half of the salad then tossed the rest. Water to drink!

I was proud of myself. It's a relief to know that I'm at the stage in my diet where I don't consider myself a binge risk. Nothing worse then having to ask your best friend if she would be willing to throw herself in between me and a slice of cheesecake... if it came to that. I'm pretty sure she would, but also pretty sure that she would refrain from being seen in public with me afterwards.


No one said it was easy to be a good friend!!

Weigh In: Week 3

So I'm a bit disappointed with how little I lost this week...

346.4

I know even a little loss is a good loss and if I look back at the week and ponder where it could have gone wrong...The fact that I was on my death bed for 3 days with a sinus infection could have a little something to do with it. I sucked on a lot of cough drops in those 3 days. But I didn't eat anything that I normally wouldn't on my diet...in fact I barely ate anything because I felt like shit. So that really throws me for a loop.

I know I need to pick up the pace on the exercising. I also know that I am using this crazy work schedule that they have me on for the next month as an excuse for not going to the gym. Shame on me.

I am determined to shine this week!!!!!!

Wish me luck!!

Laura Marling....

I love her voice, it's so ecclectic.

Of Course!

The is an unwelcome feeling in the back of my throat.. My guess is strep, let's hope I'm wrong.



FUCK!

Video Moment

I don't know what's better; Matt's impersonation or David Letterman's laugh!! I love them both!

Weigh In: Week 2

Today marks week 2 of my diet.

Let me start by saying that I am OFFICIALLY on a diet. I've made it through the first week of hell. It wasn't so bad, it's just alot to get used to. As they say; old habits die hard. I was always one of those people that ate out of bordom. So at home I always sat and ate snacks at the computer, while at work I would munch on fried deli food. I've had to find other ways to fill that void. It's pretty easy at home to do, because I'm not home all that much. I'm pulling 60 hour work weeks from now until God only knows when because my boss is having back surgery today. Out of her whole staff she trusts me and the assistant manager...

Which leaves me with the void at work. This past week was difficult, but I keep reminding myself that if I eat that burrito, it's going to make a home for itself on my ass and I will have to work 3 times as hard to get it to pack up and leave. I keep myself busy with cleaning and organizing the store...not just to take my mind of food but also to try to make up for the fact that I'm not exercising as much as I should because I'm pulling so many hours. I try and stay at a fast pace to work up a sweat...plus I constantly find myself doing butt crunches...despite the fact that I know customers think I'm try to pass a monster fart discretely.

Now the fun part.

I weighed myself first thing this morning...erm, after I went to the bathroom and I'm happy to say that I weigh in at [insert drum roll]:

348.6

The hole to China

The pot hole in the middle of the parking lot at my work is about ready to swollow the building whole... I'm starting to worry...I thiink it has a plan, because everyday it gets bigger and bigger...

World domination??

Fiber Overdose

They should have a limit on how many fiber one yogurts one should eat in a day. I think I surpassed it. I'm feeling quite odd right now.





Guess who's lost 6 lbs??? ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 3...I'm still alive!

Well I'm on day 3 and I'm still breathing. I'm doing fine as far as sticking to the diet. Well in all honesty I'm doing fine all around. Yesterday was a different story.

See, I'm one of those fat girls that has dieted before...err I've dieted MANY times before. I've had success and I've had failure, but the one constant with any diet I've ever been on is that I'm a bitch the first week. I always called it my junk food detox period..my mother would probably call it an excuse for me to be mean and inconsiderate. Potato..Potatoe.

So I'm a bit suprised to find that I don't feel the thin layer of bitchiness completely surrounding my inner being during this first week. I only felt it yesterday, but it's hard to decide if it was because I was craving deep fat fried twinkies dipped in chocolate or if it was because it was like 6 degrees with a windchill of -10 outside and I drew the short stick at work leaving me with the task of doing outside trash....I hate people with their fucking trash...dump it at home!!

Dear Bitter Cold Weather,

FUCK YOU!!!!

First official weigh in

I made the executive decision this morning to sleep in, and though I wanted to get up and eat junk food as usual, I resisted the urge. As I write this post my fat [soon to dwindle down to nothing] ass is sitting eating breakfast.

Breakfast is;
1 slimfast [with 1/2 a banana blended in]
fiber one yogurt
fresh squeezed grapefruit juice


FYI to the world, FiberOne yogurt is amazing! It really does deserve its own post!!

Back to business, I weighed myself first thing when I woke up. My official starting weight is

352.8

Going out with a BANG!

Tonight is my last night before I start my diet. I went over to a friends house and ate pizza, drank beer, and played..ermm more like sucked at Guitar Hero. It was fun and I didn't want to night to end.


BUT...I'm ready to start my diet....and my life!





YAY to Heath on winning the Golden Globe!!!!!!

Style Moment

This looks like a moo moo. IT'S GUCCI!!!!

COME ON!!!!!!

Pancake bliss

Today is the last day of freedom before the big {DIET} starts. I made myself chocolate chip pancakes....Oh dear Lord..mmmmmmm!

I think I used too many chocolate chips.. (No such thing, right??)

I love how when I make the batter and add the chips I ALWAYS add a good amount, stir them in and then think to myself..."Hmm, I think we need to go full force on the chocolate today". I always regret it in the end.

This blogging thing is alot like cranberry sauce...you only think about it once in a blue moon...but when you do think of it you must have a spoonful.

I'm bored with life right now so lets spice it up a bit.

It's that time of year again, yes that's right...it's time to have a New Year's Resolution....I know I'm about 2 weeks late on this one...I guess my friends were right, I'm always running late.

Mine is the same as usual..I will go on a diet and I will lose weight.

This site is going to help me with that. I am totally going to take advantage of this blog for my own personal gain...what are ya going to do about it?? Yeah, that's what I thought!
