Ok people. Dont hate me for not posting, because I already told you that I am horrible with blogging. I started this blog because i love to write, and I am fat. So the two of them together just make the perfect combination, right? I mean seriously, think of all of the books, websites, etc about fat girls who just need their story heard, they make a flipping fortune from them. If I am going to be 100% honest, then I want the same thing, other than making a forturne, but that would be pretty effing sweet too, but really, I just want to get healthy, and keeping a blog will help me be at least consistent with my actions. Maybe I will finally follow throught with some stuff. Ive been thinking a lot about what this blog is going to be, and I have decided that it cant just be my "journey to becoming a skinny bitch". My coworker and friend said that this year she is going to make the resolution to make more time for the things that she enjoys, and i love that, because i think that we get lost in our day to day lives and we forget about the things that we love, the things that we wish that we had more time to do, but really, dont we have time? I think about all of the things that i have always wanted to do, or to do more of, like camping and skiing, and fishing, but I always have some excuse not to do these things, and I am tired of it!! What is life if not an adventure? Life isnt a bunch of days and weeks and years strung together, or at least it shouldnt be, it has been for me though, until now. I pledge right here and now to do the things that I love to do, and no, I am not talking about men, which come on, I would totally love to do more of. I pledge to go to more concerts, which i am totally doing at the end of January.
I got this app on my phone that downloads all of my artists and tracks their concerts and then gives me updates, its a great app, except for when you plan a trip 3 hours out of town and then go on the artists website and find out they are playing in your home town two days later.... But whatever. I am going to the second show anyway...duh. Co-worker/friend x2 and I are making the trip out of town to see WAKEY! WAKEY! who, by the way, if you havent listened to them, you need to, because they are so flipping unbelievable (does saying 'flipping unbelievable make me sound less accountable?). Just saying. Anyway, we are going to make a weekend of it, and then they play on Sunday, so we are going to play hooky for half the day on Monday. I am so totally stoked ( do people still say that? Well I do).
Let's get back to this whole weight loss thing. I realize that it doesn't really count to make a blog about losing weight until you actually put a picture of yourself "before" and "after" on the page. I promise I will do this, but the thought of putting my picture on the internet for the entire world to see makes me a little queazy. I mean I obviously have put pictures on facebook of myself, but most of the picutres that I selectively put on that hideous website (we will get to that at a later date) are at good angles, and I look pretty, and semi skinny. Needless to say, I will need to be drunk to put a picture on this blog, which could be tonight, considering I have had 3 glasses of wine and intaking 1100 calories/day (including the wine). We shall see. I know this sucker needs a crap ton of work, so it will get there in time. Like fine wine and a tight ass, it takes time.
So my first day of my diet, or as my mother calls it, "healthy eating for a lifetime" (gag) went really
well. The rest of that day, I ate a seriously killer salad that I made myself with cucumber, avocado, tomaoto and onion with a red wine vinaigrette. Did I mention I love to cook? Well, I do, and I especially love making healthy foods, they are so much more interesting because you can layer and protein with tons of flavor. Wow, ok, back on topic. I ate the lovely leftovers that night from New Years Eve, and holy crapoly, there are a ton more calories in saurkraut than I thought there were. I ate like 1/3 of a cup of that stuff and it was 143 calories! I had a bunch of calories leftover to use anyway so i splurged and ate a couple of bites of bbq ribs. OMG they are so good. I have been making smoothies with just bananas and other fruit that I have lying around, and they have given me so much energy!! I love it.
I am going now because I feel like I am ranting, so I have worked out for three days straight so far, and I have woken up feeling super refreshed and amazing, so I am going to keep it up, because nothing is better than hoping out of bed and turning on some tunes, and I have done that In a long time.
