Take 2. Action!

Ugh.

Climbing back on the DIET (that's DIE with a T) band wagon tomorrow.

Why do I feel like my best friend just died?

Ugh.

Guess I'd better pull this out of the cupboard again...


So I can make batches and batches of this:


It looks yummy enough though, doesn't it?

Why, then, do I feel so depressed? Does food really mean that much to me? Would I rather eat junk food and have a fat butt and greasy skin or would I rather eat healthily, lose 15 or so pounds and have clear skin?

Oh, my cyber friends, you know me too well...

"Bring on the fries and gravy," I say, "Let the rabbits and cows eat all the green stuff...and then...let's eat the cows!"

That's the difference between BEING a vegetarian and EATING a vegetarian!

But alas, tomorrow I embark on diet 959, 000 where I will endeavor to lose the same 20 lbs that have plagued me since my early days.  (Okay, maybe in the early days it was only 10 but now it's closer to 25!)

I wonder what I'd ever do if I actually got as thin as I would like to be?

Don't think I'll ever find out....

But, apparently, I'm going to try...

(for a couple of days..)

(maybe....)

UGH!

Hi Lisa, just found your blog today and I've been struggling with the same too. Diet. Seem to like carbohydrates too much. Brought up in South India where Rice is the main diet/dish. How am I supposed to give that up? My system recognizes only rice as food and the healthy food as junk. I'm doing a lot of takes' myself here.

I live for carbs! When I go without I feel seriously deprived. Rice is a staple in my diet...and cheesies, and chocolate bars, and bread....the list goes on....

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o

Happy 20th Anniversary to Us!!

Yeah, so the old man and I have been hitched for 20 years today.  Been together for 30 years (yes, we started dating when we were BABIES!) and yes, I have been with him for more than 1/2 of my life.  That's pretty crazy when you think of it...he's been there for EVERY major milestone of my life, and I for his.  It's pretty hard for either of us to pull a 'remember when' memory from a period of our lives in which the other person wasn't present.  Oh sure we went off and did things separately, like I lifeguarded for 2 summers in a little town in the Interior, and he lived in the Okanagan for about a year, and he climbed mountains with friends and did hikes that I wasn't part of,  but we were still a couple.   We started dating when I was 14 and he was 17--I had to get special permission from my parents to date him because I wasn't allowed until I was 16.  I remember the discussion quite vividly and my parents agreed to allow him to come over, and to take
