This is my self-centered rambling about weight, exercise, healthy living, life on the farm, travels with horses....oh, who am I kidding...it's my never-an-unexpressed-thought-or-opinion about my life. And maybe your life, like it or not.

Detour from the straight and trying-to-get-narrow

Well, if I knew how to make a sad face with those symbols, and if I didn't think it was dorky, I would.  Yesterday was not a good day in Diet City.  Started well, did fine for b-fast and lunch, then all he** broke loose. (now, how does it make a difference if we substitute symbols for letters......might as well write the word.  You know what the word is, right?)  Back to my tale of woe.  I didn't have time to get on the treadmill.  Michelle O'Bama may have the fortitude to rise at 4:30 a.m. to get her workout in, but not this fat girl.
Then I went to another city about an hour away to see "The Social Network" on the big screen with a couple of the best friends a girl can have.  By the way, the movie is terrific. I'm late to this party because I thought,  "How could a movie about this be interesting?"   Well, the better question is ....how could I underestimate Aaron Sorkin, a writer whose work I really really like?
Anyway, I ate.  There, I said it.  I ATE.  Eating while driving is a particular vice.  It's a habit I just canNOT break.  Could have been worse.....I ate little cinnamon tubes, aka Hot Tamales.  Then I ate dinner at Rafferty's with friends. There are not many, if any, low cal choices there.  I looked and looked for the Nutrisystem column.  Nada.  We did share a dessert.  So, it could have been worse.

Back to the treadmill today.  But first, I have a question:  if obesity is such an "epidemic,"  and the percentage of fat people is sooooooooo high, why is everyone on TV/movies skinny?  They MUST  be running out of skinny people to put on TV/movies.  The pool must be getting pretty low.  Do they have a farm system somewhere, like raising salmon, where they're breeding and raising skinny TV/movie people?   Genetic selection, low fat diets, forced exercise?

I gotta tell ya.........I'm the fattest, by far, of my friends.  Always the fat one in the group. Maybe, instead of losing weight, I need to find a new set of chubby homies!  Oh, wait, the health thing.....hmmm, I'd better think about this one.  On the treadmill maybe.

Off to Moab.

  1. my baddest habit is to eat and drink something whilst catching up on my DVDd shows. but about Hollywood people, etc....have you noticed that they have trouble having babies? low body fat. When they do have babies, they have twins, which tells me they didn't make babies the way you and I did. While I wish I was svelt, I don't want their problems. on weight loss, i make progress and then backslide, although not as much as I used to. 5 years of WW ingrained stuff in my head that is hard to forget
