So this was a hard weekend, diet-wise, for me. All you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster, All you can eat sushi at Sushi Katsu and a fruit roll up that was surprisingly irresistable. It's that time of the month again... ladies, YOU know what I'm talking about... and I'm craving chocolate like a crack addict craves a rock. Seriously! I don't know how much longer I can resist and Chelsea, you were right, those Granola crisp things are great but not cutting it... chocolate-wise. I'm exhausted and I did not get my full workout done today. I got maybe two thirds of the way through it and then Ninny woke up full on crying, which is NOT like her. Seriously, she is quite possibly the happiest baby girl alive... 90% of the time and she sleeps like a dog, so for her to wake up full on crying inconsolably was very highly unusual and disturbing. It took me a full 30 minutes of holding her and rocking her and walking with her to get her back to sleep and even then I had to put her down in my bed. Don't worry, once she was good and out again, I put her back in her crib. Anyway, the much belated vlog for day 20:
and day 21, also known as the incomprehensible vlog:
Woot Woot! If you're with us, keep going, if not... why not?

DAYS 18 & 19: A SUPER BUSY WEEKEND!
I wrote a whole big blog yesterday and thought I posted it but when I looked today, it turned out it didn't post. Crud. Anyway, Saturday and Sunday I was super busy with school, I had a lab, tests, discussions and a paper all due either Saturday or Sunday. Wow! So glad it's over! One more week of my accelerated class and then life settles down a little bit. At that point I only have three classes (instead of four) right up through December. Woot Woot! Life is good. Busy but good. Thanks everybody for listening, reading and watching. If I really have inspired anybody, I'm glad and I hope you find your motivation and keep gong with this because it's worth it and SO ARE YOU!
And the vlog:
Keep on doing it! I have faith in all of us, we can do this! We can succeed! Solidarity!

DAYS 16 & 17: I FEEL GOOD, NANANANANANANA
So, like 1/3 of the people that watch my video logs are actually reading my blog, so I've decided to blog every other day instead of every day. I may change my mind later but for now, well, there ya go.
Yesterday was a great day! I did a 40 minute workout that kicked my butt but I felt very accomplished about it. Okay, so technically it was a 44 minute workout but I kept up with at least 40 minutes of it. Then I found a groovy cool recipe for pumpkin soup that I'm going to try ( http://www.thinandhealthy.com/blog/2009/10/fall-flavors-for-weight-loss-fresh-pumpkin-soup-recipe/) and thank you to Dawn Sandomeno for putting it on her blog and for following me on Twitter! Anyway, without further ado, here are the vlogs for the 16th and 17th. I hope you enjoy!
That's the 16th... and then there came the 17th:
Oh wait... day 17, that's still today... ish. I also had a friend over for dinner, but I'll do a special blog on that tomorrow or Sunday...
One thing that did occur to me, however, is this: When you look at the food your child left on his or her plate and you contemplate eating it yourself so as not to let it go to waste, just remember, your body can only use so much fuel, anything after that point is going to waste... so it's either going to waste in the trash can or it's going to waste on your waist.
Anyway, have a great night and we'll talk to you tomorrow!

DAY 15 - EARLY BLOG CUZ I'M ANNOYED
So, I'm doing my dancing workout this morning and I start to think to myself...
You know who I miss? Richard Simmons. That queer SOB understood that some of us are just starting out and we can't bounce and wiggle and jump and bippity bop our fat asses all around the house. some of us have size 46F boobs that HURT when you bounce them and it's HARD to find a sports bra that A. fits and B. actually keeps huge boobs immobile. Ya know? I'm just saying. Jillian whatever her name is has a good thing going with Biggest Loser and all but he was supportive, not mean. He encouraged, he didn't get mad at people and it worked. You know what else that buggar had? Fat women working out with him. Not those skinny women that none of us that are working out really look like.
I was told today that I'm inspiring people. I don't know if that's true or not and to be brutally honest, whether I am or not, it's not going to change my travel plans. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to think that I am helping people, but realistically, I'm doing this to improve my life and even if nobody else comes along for the ride, I'm still going to take my journey. Be that as it may, I'd love it if YOU would come along. If you ARE out there and you are reading this, tell me. Leave a comment, you can do it anonymously. Tell me what you're doing in your life. Hell, just tell me a story. I don't care. It would just be nice to know that somebody is out there, with me.
Big Hugs and lots of love, people.
See you tomorrow!

DAYS 13 & 14: I AM A WORKOUT NINJA... WITH COMPUTER ISSUES...
Okay folks! Yesterday I had issues getting into blogger and a sick baby to contend with, so no blog yesterday, but I did do a video log:
Found a GREAT new workout that is only fifteen minutes long but Good Gods did it make me sweat bullets!
I got back on track yesterday and it was good.
Today, I am a WORKOUT NINJA! I did my fifteen minute dancing workout this morning and then again this evening, based on a theory that if I workout and shower before bed I might sleep better. So yes, I did TWO workouts today because I am a bad@ss workout ninja! Ninny watched me do the second workout and in the middle thought it would be great to watch me workout from between my feet. So I danced her over to the couch so that she could watch without getting us both killed.
We had eggs this morning for breakfast, thank the Gods. I just don't know what else to have for breakfast. I need to work on that. The oatmeal is okay but it gets old and we can't do eggs every morning. Any ideas?
I made an awesome dish for supper, details are at the end of the video log but it had chicken, asparagus, yellow squash, zucchini, sweet onion and red peppers along with whole wheat rigatoni, basil, balsamic, garlic, paprika and cayenne pepper. I mixed in some generic white sauce, just a bit, I looked and it was 1/2 cup for the whole pot and sprinkled about a tablespoon of Italian cheese mix on top. Heavenly. Lots of veggies, whole wheat carbs and about 10g of fat. Not too shabby.
I welcome questions, comments and suggestions from anyone out there. What's worked for you? What hasn't? Who inspires you to do bigger, better things with your life? If you could change something in your life, what would you change? Why haven't you done it yet? If you're watching, reading, following along at all, talk to me, tell me what you're thinking. If you're going to be mean, however, at least be funny. When I say funny, I mean funny that everyone gets, not just you. Run it past a friend first, see if they laugh.
Son of a biscuit eater! I hit publish post then got up, got a glass of water and went to bed. Turns out it didn't post last night! Argh! For the love of freaking computers! Let's try this again...
