Bad Days Turn Into Bad Weeks
I think I said before that I'm participating in a biggest loser style thing online, but this will be the second week that I'm in last place, for sure. I keep taking things day by day, but then the bad days turn into bad weeks and months and then it's been almost two years of really, really hard stuff going on. How come I was able to eat well when I was pregnant and now I can't seem to get it together?

How do you love veggies?
I believe the people who say that the secret to health lies in veggies. I know they are right but I just won't eat them. I KNOW it has to do with the fact that I was raised with very few on the table, but I am an adult and should be able to change my eating patterns, right? This dawned on me yesterday when I had a very low moment and got a sandwich at Wendy's. I ordered a chicken club WITHOUT lettuce and tomato. That's how I always order stuff. I remove everything that isn't meat, cheese or sauce-- all of which are terrible for health, not to mention terrible for fatties!

Failure... sort of.
I picked up the new juicer yesterday and today I am going to use it. I'm looking up recipes, but I have to make a confession. I had McDonald's today. What I DID do, however, was order a bottle of water and a cheeseburger. No fries, no soda.
Baby steps.
This was one of my "on-the-go" meals when I was pregnant, because I was avoiding carbs. The bun of the burger is better than having fries. It's allllll about choices. ;)

Inspired by my fellow Richmond Mommies, I'm dusting off this old nickname. Booty-do is back. And hopefully going away for good this time. I started a Biggest Loser style competition yesterday. I swore off smoking, drinking and food... well chewing. I was supposed to start a juice fast, but we can't find the integral part of the juicer-- the blade. Tomorrow I am buying a Jack LaLanne juicer from someone a Ft Lee. In honor of the death of our current juicer we had pizza for dinner last night and Chinese for dinner tonight.
Jesse has actually been upset because he has gained back a few pounds and his new jeans don't fit right anymore. He really liked doing wight-watchers, but now that I've been laid off and have limited income, we can't afford for him to rejoin. I was really hoping there was a couples fee, but only solos.
Last night we both took "before" pictures. We both looked at ourselves and nearly wretched, but looking at each other we were happy. I look at Jesse and I see a lovable bear-man whose weight means little to me. He says that when we met he was 50 lbs lighter and hat he only ate oatmeal. Maybe that's a good weight loss secret! Anyway, tomorrow is a new day.

20
...things that have happened in the last 3 months:
1. I learned the hell of working under a micro-manager.
2. I became the President of Sycamore Rouge. Holla!
3. I got a new car.
4. I died my hair red.
5. I stage managed a play.
6. We had a white Christmas!
7. My big time boss has decided to cut 304 jobs and on top of that decrease pay by 4% for all remaining employees. Suck it.
8. I have learned that EVERYONE is broke.
9. I have fallen in love with my friends, yet again.
10. I have read 3 books.
11. I started an online class, which charges a parking fee. The idiocy of the community college system astounds me.
12. I saw 5, maybe more, plays.
13. I'm still pretty fat and feeling much fatter every day, but I weigh the same. People keep asking if I've lost weight. It's impossible that I look thinner, so I'm thinking that the people I know are REALLY nice.
14. I showed a teenager how to properly use a straightening iron and not have ANY frizz. This teenager was a boy.
15. I then proceed to whip this teenager in air hockey. I rock.
16. I was cast in a play that I thought had been precast!!!
17. I hired a new amazing party employee.
18. I went to West Virginia for real for the first time.
19. I purchased excellent finger puppets.
20. I remembered my beloved Booty-Do blog. :)
