Not talking about it!

Well since no one really reads my post, partially because no one knows I HAVE a post....then I can get away with the previous post! Haven't written about my daily weight loss/gain struggles, daily or monthly.   Nothing has really changed except for the fact that I'm tired of talking about it.  So I've decided to NOT talk about it anymore. So there!

Professional Dieter Confessions

Ya I know...everyone (accept skinny bitches) have a diet story...I just thought that I would use this blog to write out my daily thoughts and struggles.  Maybe someone else can relate.

I have been dieting pretty much my whole life...now 48. I really only need to lose about 25-30 lbs.  But you'd think it was one hundred and thirty!!!

Of course just like Oprah, I've tried them all. I've told people out loud that THIS was IT, I was going to do it this time. And each time I fail, it gets easier and easier to fail in front of people, because that is what they expect, that is what I expect. I've been listening to my positive affirmations/weight loss cd now for about 3 weeks and I actually think it is helping.  I really do crave vegetables and water and started back to working out. Hey, it doesn't hurt. I keep wondering when is it going to click? Am I going to turn 50 one day and still  be unhappy with my weight? And YES I am the type of person that puts everything and everybody else before myself.  Well that has to change! And it is changing now!

Another thing I decided to do is something a little different.......I don't think I have ever heard of anyone doing this before....WRITING MY SUCCESS STORY BEFORE I ACTUALLY SUCCEED???? ( I think Oprah should have me on her show to discuss this) don't you think? :)

Ok so that is what I'm going to do.......try it, lets see if it works!

To be continued.....

  

We had the Flea!

A few weeks ago Neal & Dustin (3 1/2 yr old) came down with the FLU BUG...fever, headache, body aches etc....Dustin came up to me this morning and said, "mommy, do you have the Flea too?"....I said, "Whats the Flea?" and he said, " you know, daddy says it's a bug that is in your body that makes you feel sick!".....I said....."Oh yeah!". I guess I could have corrected him and said that it was really call the Flu bug and not the Flea bug.....but why?

Still at it and loving every minute!

Good "Old" Mom

Ok..not sure if I should laugh or cry. You tell me.....
If you know me, you know that I am Alanna, Kevin and Dustin's mom. Alanna being 25, Kevin 19 and Dustin THREE!!! So here I am cuddling in bed with my 3 year old one morning when all of a sudden he says with a horrified look on his face, "Mommy what's THAT?" as he was pointing to my neck. (keep in mind I am laying on my side and the lighting is bad). He said, "Its all wink-a-lee!". So of course I made a sad face and said, "I know, I guess I'm getting old". "Yeah, like a gwam-ma", he continued. So with a pouty face (irritated really) I said, "Gee thanks, I'm not a grandma". He could tell by the look on my face that he must have made me feel bad so he decided to make me feel BETTER.... so he said, "Its ok Mommy I know your not a gwam-ma, you just LOOK like one!!!"
SO? What do you think? Laugh? or Cry?

Boo-BEE!!

Saturday night I went to a concert at Irvine Meadows...as I was returning to my seat after buying a beer the security guard stopped me asking for my ticket. I proceeded to explain to her that I left my ticket in the bathroom on the toilet dispenser. She looked at me like I was lying (probably because she thought I was drunk, since I was holding a 16-oz beer in my hand....which costs me $12.50 I might add!) Just as I was about to swear on a stack of bibles that I really did have a ticket......a bee landed right on my right boob!!! I started screaming and jumping around, I hit the bee off but he left his stinger in my boob!!! Well the security guard which was a woman (to clarify) had to pull it out...It hurt like a ?? She called the paramedic lady over to make sure I was not allergic. She proceeded to take my pulse, check my breathing, listen to my heart and ask me a ton of questions, even after I told her I wasn't allergic!!! I guess she was bored! So the LAST thing she says to me, "make sure you keep an eye on it, it can swell up to 3 times its normal size!!!!" My BOOB???? 3 TIMES ITS NORMAL SIZE? Of all places!
Needless to say it did not swell up..... (at least I don't think so) AND she let me go back to my seat WITHOUT my ticket!!! What a fun night at the concert~!!!
