Technical Dificulties

So I was going to post some cool pictures of the awesome wedding cakes that I've made but my computer has decided not to cooperate. I tried to negotiate but alas, to no avail. Believe it or not, that's all I have to say. I'm going to go watch wrestling now. Don't judge me!

Lazy Sunday.....or is it?

Now that I have you all enthralled, let me continue where I left off. Ah yes, the demo derby. It was AWESOME! It started at 3pm, but we got there at 1 to save seats. I left at 7pm and it was still going on. It probably went on until 10 or 11. Crazy huh? I have been to my fair share of demos in by day and this one took the cake, by far. I saw more fires and hard hits at this derby than all the others combine. We were sitting dead center and one of the cars practically exploded right in front of us! Ok, not really, but we could feel the heat from the fire. It was nifty!

Today is just a lazy Sunday, I'm watching Scarlet right now, cheap rip off of Gone With The Wind but oh well.

I went for a walk today. 30 minutes and I really pushed myself this time. I'm 2 pounds down!!! Wohooo! Not that I'm counting. My actual goal isn't to loose weight, it's too easy to fail at that. My official goal is just to get up at 6:30 Monday through Friday and walk for a 1/2 an hour. Then walk for at least another 1/2 an hour to 45 minutes when I get home from work, gradually increasing the speed and time as I acclimate myself to this new hard core physical regime. My second goal is to eat more fruits and vegetables and less junk food. Mom says not to have carbs after lunch because they're instant energy and if you don't use them, you store them. During the week, I concentrate on fruits and vegetables and not so much meat. On the weekends, I try to go for at least a 20 minute walk on Saturday & Sunday both. Today was a good day, I hit 30 minutes and went a lot faster on the treadmill than I usually do!

Tonight is Wrestlemania, the biggest stage of them all! I know, I know, again, red neck & pointless. But I love it! So now, I have to tidy up the house. We usually have a few people over to watch with us so everything needs to be in tip top shape.

Adios!

Hmmmm It's Saturday.....

So it's been a long week. Work is stressful. They are phasing our office out, we don't know when our last day is but it probably won't be until next year. It's funny because they can't afford to loose us. We are working 24 hours of mandatory overtime this month and they're closing our office. Silly bureaucrats. This past week was the last week to get new business on the books for the month, always crazy. It was also the last week to book new business for the quarter, super crazy.
Besides work, I've been walking a lot lately (and by lately I mean the last 5 days - hey, it's a start!). I'm tired of being fat (gasps from all the 'polite' people in the room!) That's right, I said FAT! Not big boned, not thick, not curvy, FAT. I'm tired of it! So, I'm doing something about it. Don't patronize me by saying I'm not fat or I'm perfect the way I am. I'm not! Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States, I have diabetes on both sides of my family. This is not a joke. This is not something people should feel they have to give lip service about to make someone feel better about themselves. So don't do it. Just say 'good for you' or 'way to go' or 'keep it up'. But don't you dare try and sugar coat anything and say 'you're not fat, you're bigger but you're not fat' (direct quote from a patronizing friend) OR 'You don't need to loose weight, you're fine the way your are' (another direct quote from another patronizing friend). ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?! I'm 5'4 and weigh.....wait, I'm not posting that on the Internet! Let's just say WAYYYYY TOOOO MUCH!

Wow! This blog thing is kinda therapeutic. Anywho....back to my day. I'm going to an all day demo derby! I know it's red neck & pointless but I love it! Love it! Love it! Love it! I'll keep you guys (not sure who 'you guys' are yet) posted on the action.

Laters!

So this is me :) One of my better pictures I might add.

Hello?

So apparently, this is the new thing.....Steffi seems to think I need one of these so we'll see how it goes......
