Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Hi,

This weekend: brother Joe coming into town before he and the wife move to Puerto Rico for a few years. That is where he got stationed. I know, first Key West, now Puerto Rico. Tough life.

Going to the beach.

OFF the diet! WHEW! Made it! Lost 2-3 inches in my stomach, 1/2 inches everywhere else. Feels good! Still got more to go though!

Ok, love ya, mean it!

Bye!

Quick, Fast and In A Hurry!

Quick brief:

I took the scuffs out of my shoes by using a gigantic sharpie. Ghetto? Maybe. Get a little high from the marker? Yes. I love those things!

Before:

After:

Speaking of high...there was a major drug bust across the street from my house yesterday. D.E.A. was EVERYWHERE! I never met the people that lived there...but they looked like rich, white kids to me. Guess they are rich, incarserated, white kids now. Minus all the computers, sterios and cars they ceased yesterday. My count was five cars, one being a Range Rover.

I got my hairs did at lunch today...ahhh, feels mucho better-o!

HOLLA!

Honestly...

Saw this ad on CNN.com's homepage.

I don't think there is a wrinkle cream out there that can help this:

Also, this is greatly disturbing. I just needed to share it with you.

WHOOooOOO-RAHHH!

8.4lbs down bitches!

8lbs in 9 days...awesome!

I tell ya, I thought the weight would come off faster...but that is all good cause the inches, JESUS...those fuckers are FLYING off. I guess it is more about the inches than the pounds in the end.

Except when you are in a competition which is ONLY measuring weight. BUT I am still winning that beyotches.

OH. I took the Krispy Kremes home to the Bobz. Unfortunately, these little tiny, but very friendly, non-biting, black ants got a hold of the last one. Good thing he at least got to eat one.

11 more days. Hoping to lose a pound a day. I will hit goal if I do that! YAY!

Evil People

In the spirit of losing weight, one of the attorney's here at the office has entered into a competition with me.

She is going to do her own kind of diet and not "that fad shit you are doing". You being ME...

So I am sticking to my diet and she is doing whatever it is that she does. Needless to say, there has been alot of shit talking going on. We weigh every Friday. Last Friday was our first weight in.

As part of her shit campaign, this morning for weight in, she brought this over to my office:

I must say it was a genius move, but little does she know, doughnuts are NOT my weakness!! Now, if she had brought a steaming, hot plate of Mexican food over...wow. I would have had to go outside and count to ten!

Just for the record...on the scale we are using...I am winning. She has lost two pounds, I have lost four. NOTE: per the scale WE are using. The one at the doctors office will say differently. AND I expect by Monday to have lost at least 7lbs. I can feel by body getting tiny!

At Wednesday weigh in at the doctor's office I had not lost as much weight as I had wanted, HOWEVER, I lost an inch in my stomach, half an inch in my boobs (though I want them to stay) and a bit in my arms. The weight may not tell it, but the inches are speaking!

Something To Fill The Page

Meme from Kat!

1) Are you a meticulous planner?

I started out saying no, but then thought about how I do tend to completely pack my bags and stuff for trips at LEAST a day ahead of time. I also do all the laundry and clean the house because I hate coming home to a mess. Maybe meticulous isn't the word, but planner, yes.

2) Do you wear make up? If so, how much and how often?

Mascara if I don't forget to put it on.

3) What, if anything, do you wear to bed?

During the winter you can catch me in PJ's that have feet in them. I even have the pooper shooter kind, but the pooper shooter keeps coming unbuttoned during the night and my butt gets cold. However, during the summer, just a t-shirt and undies will do.

4) Look over your right shoulder what do you see?

A mirror! And I am in it!

5) If you had to take one random item to an interview to help describe yourself, what would it be?

Is it like a formal interview? Like for a job? Or for a reality television show. Let's pretend it is a reality TV show. I would bring a beer.

6) What film would you have liked a staring roll in?

Something with Ellen DeGeneres in it. I love her comedy!

7) Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant?

Cary Grant fo sho!

8) Do you swear in front of children?

Well, I don't mean to! If I see kids around I try and curtail my sometimes vulgar mouth

9) Do you sew or knit or do any other "womanly" craft?

You are kidding, right?

10) Twitter or Facebook?

I love Facebook, but ever since they blocked it at work I haven't kept up with it as much. HOWEVER, I do check it on my phone. Thank goodness for Smart Phones. I am on Twitter a lot, though I should leave more Tweets.

Day 6

Day 6 of the diet has arrived.

As stated before, the first three days I was allowed to eat and drink as normal, but started taking the hCG and my supplements last Wednesday. And if you don't already know, B12 tastes TERRIBLE.

I have lost 5lbs already!

I was pretty sure I was going to die on the fourth day, which was day one of the 500 calorie restriction. That was on Sunday. I actually didn't FEEL like I was going to die, but my brain wanted me to eat like I normally do on Sundays, which is comparative to cattle grazing in a field, except replace cattle with me and the field with a refrigerator.

It wasn't that I was actually hungry, I just wasn't SATISFIED. It is like when you eat dinner and then realize that wasn't what you REALLY wanted.

All the same, I managed through it and Monday was MUCH better. It was Monday that I actually felt FULL and SATISFIED from my meals. I did have a few more carrots and apples than I was supposed to, but I can think of worse things to eat. Like that cheese that kept staring at me every time I opened the fridge.

OH and how about this...The Bobz walked in with a Mellow Yellow and my mouth started watering! WTF?!? I don't even DRINK Mellow Yellow! Hell, it is a rare day when I even drink a soda PERIOD! Can't even tell you the last time I had a soda actually. SO, it is all in my brain.

The absolute WORST thing about this diet is the morning...for one reason and one reason only. Coffee. I can't put sugar OR milk in it. I tried my absolute BEST to drink it this weekend with ONLY Stevia in it, but holy crap I do not like that stuff! I have NEVER, let me repeat, NEVER drank a diet soda on purpose. I might accidentally grab someone else's drink and then squish my face all up and go BLECK!! But never do I intentionally buy or have within my presence anything of diet. That being said, Stevia is NOT like aspartame, it is completely natural, but I surmise that those of you that like aspartame would like Stevia.

All of that was to say that I don't particularly care for Stevia because it reminds me of the way diet drinks taste.

The ONLY thing I will make an exception on in this diet is the sugar in my coffee in the morning. I am only going to use 1/4 of a teaspoon, but damn, I HAVE to have my coffee in the morning. The milk thing...well, I used a SLASH...and I do mean a splash, of half and half.

I do not count that as cheating, I count that as saving lives. If I don't have my coffee in the morning and you cross my path, you MAY die.

Can you believe that the one thing that is killing me about this diet is the coffee?!? That's right...NOT the lack of beer!

I have been dry for three days. AND I only had four beers on Saturday in celebration of our freedom??!

Speaking of the day of freedom...we went to our friend Michelle's house and they had set up a SLIP N SLIDE! An adult one! Wait till you see the pictures! Hopefully they will be up soon! TIP: if you want to get in shape, go Slip N Slide'n for a day...you will discover muscles on your body (the next day) that you never knew you had!

Day ONE of...

Today is day one of my diet.

This diet is called the hCG diet. Krystal went on it about three months ago and during her first round she lost 18lbs. The first go round last 26 days. If I hadn't already seen Krystal go through it, I wouldn't believe it was possible for someone to stick to such a restrictive diet.

Let me share the scary numbers:

26 days (they made bad movies about that number) of the diet

500 calories a day

No Milk

No Sugar

NO DRINKING!!!

Yes, you heard it here folks. I will be going dry for 26 days.

I know my beer will miss me. I know I will miss my beer. But it will be totally worth it. I need to hack off about 20lbs and all will be well with the world.

I am at 156.4 right now and I need to be at 135.

I will try and post some pictures of progression...when I see some progression. Naturally I will be partially naked for your viewing pleasure!

BUT the good news about this diet is that you aren't hungry, even with the 500 calorie intake. In addition to the diet, you take supplements (B-12, Colloidal Silver...)along with the magic hormone called hGC, which, among other things, decreases hunger. I am doing this diet under doctor supervision, which, I believe, is the only way you can do this diet. Thank goodness my boss' parents are doctors!

You can read all about hGC here.
