I realize now the poor timing of my decision to start on my weight-loss quest. Hello, it's Christmas!
Last night I was all committed, and then today I went to work and the president of the system provided a full-course Christmas dinner! Then, I went to Wal-Mart to run some errands, and prominently displayed by the door (and again, further in) were those damn Lofthouse cookies, aka "devil cookies." They're one of my weaknesses! The super soft sugar cookie topped with a good 1/4" of frosting and then sprinkles! It's impossible to eat just one. Temptation abounds everywhere!!
But I didn't get the devil cookies, and I took the smallest piece of pie on the table for lunch. Ok, yes. I could have passed up the pie entirely, but as I said yesterday, I'm not going to be perfect. And here's my plan. If I can get into the gym routine again and have that down by New Year's, then I can start 2010 with a fridge stocked only with stuff I'm supposed to have and commit to that with a vengeance.
Random thoughts:
1. I don't really pay attention to the people around me at the gym unless they're stick-thin, petite blondes, and then I think, "Why are you here???" I want to scream, "You don't need it! Go out and live your life!" I would be if I were them.
2. I'm not sure what to think of "The Singing Bee" yet. The first two performances were underwhelming, bordering on just bad. The third is showing potential. I'm giving it a chance solely because of Nick Lachey. Yet another thing probably to be embarassed about. Oh well.
3. For the second night in the row, I'm so tempted to be in bed by 10 pm. I've become an old woman.

Have you ever thought that the stick-thin blondes are there because that's how they maintain their petite-ness? Or perhaps they're like me and not necessarily overweight, but very very out of shape? Or maybe they're just really self-consious and that you're better off?
ReplyDeleteThat's the rational thought. But it's not the immediate reaction. The initial reaction is "bitch!" Especially when they're on the elliptical with a book open. "If you're going to pretend this a library or your living room, go to either of those places. Let me sweat without your obnoxiously gorgeous presence."
ReplyDeleteRe: the blondes
ReplyDeleteThat is my exact reaction too! Although, I usually follow it up with getting on the eliptical behind them, and laughing as I watch their whole body jiggle becuase while they may be skinny, they are totally skinny-fat. It makes me happy to know that, if they are there, they must be just as self-conscious of their body as I am of mine...apparently, I'm evil. HA!
