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...
If you're reading this, please leave me a comment!

DAY 12 - STILL SICK BUT GETTING BETTER
Okay, so mostly today I rested. I'm still not 100% but so that I wouldn't beat myself up, I did do an abbreviated workout. I did a fifteen minute pilates workout and kept up pretty well, except for that whole find your balance point and rock thing. I also discovered that my Netflix has a whole boatload of workout videos. So, I plopped the ones that seemed to be the most fun and/or easiest onto my queue. Okay, I'm totally typing in my sleep at this point, I'm exhausted and I just typed prisoner for some reason that made sense to my subconscious but it didn't make any sense to me. Anyway, I'm off to go reclaim my position in my own bed from a 21 month old sick baby, Good night!

DAY 11 - SICK AS A DOG
I feel like crap today. Either I'm coming down with something or eating pizza after a week and a half of eating properly has thrown my body off kilter. Either way, I have tried six times to do my workout and all six times I have failed because of having to run to the bathroom. I am not one to admit defeat easily but I think today is going to be a forced day off. I just made attempt number six and it's almost 10:30 at night. I suck today and pizza is very definitely NOT in my dining repertoire any longer, no matter how clever I think I am with the saving up the cabs and fat. It was NOT clever and I feel like sh*t today.
Whether I'm sick because of the pizza or I'm sick because I'm coming down with something, either way I feel like a damn failure today because I can't get one thirty minute workout in. I totally feel like I've let myself down.
The good news is that I can learn from my mistakes and not make them, or worse related ones, again. If this is what pizza, which in the grand scheme of fast food items is not that bad, does to me, just IMAGINE what would happen if I tried to eat McDonald's or GodsForbidTacoBell! I think they just might kill me.
So chalk today up to Hell on Earth and leave it at that.
Oh and for those of you wondering if Leah is still around, the answer to that is an emphatic yes. She's getting busier and busier everyday but she's still around. Very stand up gal, she is. Classy, intelligent, kind, well spoken and real. All that and she's gorgeous, too.
Gotta love her!
Short, sweet and to the point video log today, I feel like crap and I wanna go to bed.
Night everybody, see you tomorrow!
