Back, and it only took 7 months...

Well well well. Look who decided to show up. Thats right. It's me. I hate looking back on blog entries, and all sorts of other journals, and contracts I have made with myself to take care of my weight. I never follow through. And my my how thing change in 7 months. I no longer work at the spa. Thats another blog. I still weigh the same. Still think about losing weight every second. I went to Las Vegas in October. It was glorious. 7 days in Vegas. Wonderful. Oh- all except for the plane rides. I was smooshed next to a bitchy old lady who semed to be annoyed that i was a fat person who dared sit next to her stinky FARTING ass the whole way there. And they way back? WAY WAY WAY WAY WORSE. I have never been more uncomfortable in my life. Chris and I sat next to each other. We are both 400 lbs. YEAH. Smashed isn't the word. We were MISERABLE. I couldn't imagine doing that ever again, or sitting next to a fat stranger and sitting that close. EW. We actually sweat on each other. Gross. So basically, I am going back to Las Vegas sometime this summer- July or Augusty. I will fly there, spend a few days in Vegas, drive to Phoenix, see the Grand Canyon, spend a few days in Phoenix, then load up a Uhaul truc, and drive across the country, back to Michigan. I'm sure as hell ain't doing that while I'm this big, I mean it is plausible, but I would rather be 100 lbs lighter. Wouldn't we all. So now I'm back, and I intend on blogging daily. I will be starting the south beach diet, and exercising. I went to a natural nutritionist, and I am allergic to wheat. I now also take about 50 supplements a day. So this is it. I refuse to go on a plane again that big, and uncomfortable. I refuse to sit around and not do anything about this, and I will be back, blogging (journaling) to my hearts content.

Holy Shit I'm back!

And I got a new keyboard and everything! Well been busy the last few months. I blogged earlier about my evil asshole bosses, and now I have a new job. We opened a new spa. Check out our website! TheGreatEscapeSpa.com It's not finished yet, but a client of mine is working on it. So that's awesome. Still have not given up on losing weight. Not at all. I have no idea what I weighed last time I was here. That's mostly because I had no scale. As someone weighing over 300 lbs, it's not easy to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and find a scale that will go that high. But i found one on Ebay. I love Ebay. I bought a temper pedic foam mattress on there for 300 bucks. It's the same one I was going to buy from walmart.com for 600. I also bought a bike. Today was the first time I went for a real bike ride. I went 2 miles!!!! Holy cow. So my ass hurts, and my thighs are sore, but it feels good. I have also been doing this program. It's working, and I have lost 17 lbs since May 27th. It is called Caloriecheckbook.com Go check it out. You basically use math to lose weight, the whole calories in vs. calories out thing. Well it's working great! It's 14.95 a year, and totally worth it. I have got all my friends doing it with me. It's great to have support. Anyway. I will be blogging from now on. Everyday. Even if it's a short one. It will help with the caloriecheckbook.com diet too.

Ear magnets. Hmmmm.

It is so late. I feel guilty about not blogging for like a week and a half. I have been busy though. Mostly when I am online it is for 4 hours and I am working on posting more of this stuff to sell. My god. I am buried in egyptian decor. I have not been doing well, eating wise. I wish I was one of those skinny little bitches who could eat whatever the fuck they wanted and be still be skinny. Like these 2 little tiny things, who came in and got pedicures, sharing a fishbowl of hard butterscotch candies. They crunched them, like popcorn. They ate literally about 25 a piece. And they were like 5'2 and 100lbs. Yeah yeah metabolism. I need one. Where can I buy one?

So- Speaking of buying things- I have bought this stop smoking ear magnet thingy. It is supposed to be put on this particular accupressure point of my left ear, worn for 7 days, for a minimum of 4 hours a day, and on day 8- I quit smoking. It tricks your brain into not craving so badly. It is susposed to help calm the pissedoffedness. So I hope it works. I believe in reflexology, and accupressure. Magnet therapy. So well see. No matter what. Next Tuesday- I'm done. Quitting smoking is a huge thing. I think I need to deal with that before anything. It makes me feel unhealthiest of all. I cant exersize. I feel like shit. I cough up about 3 cups of brown phlegm every day. YUMMY. It's bad.
So. Quitting smoking. Here goes it.

Hi- Egypt here I come.

Well. I am busy. BUSY BUSY BUSY. We found a new spa. I have been helping get all the horrendous crap out of it. The last woman who owned it was CRAZY. It had an egyptian theme, which could be cool, if done right, but DEAR GOD IS IT TACKY. PUKE PUKE PUKE. So. I trashed the crap, and kept the treasure, And am selling the sellable.

If nothing else, if you don't want to buy it, laugh at it. I sure did.

My how time flies-

Well- Its been 4 days and no posts. Been busy. So busy in fact that I have not sat here at the computer once. And now I only have time for a short blog entry.

It may sound stupid, but I now realize that it is a million little choices that make up healthy eating. I used to think it was supposed to be done a certain way, or at a certain time. Or that I should only eat a certain way. And if I messed up, or deviated from the plan, fuck it, the whole days shot, who wants ice cream? But it really just is all about saying, yes I do want Taco Bell, WHY? Because it's good. But should I make the decsion to go out and get some? NO. Should I eat it? No. So I don't. I just don't do it. And thats the way to do it. I shouldn't even consider going to Taco Bell at 2:30 am, and eating 1,000 calories worth of cheesy melty goodness. Then coming home and going to bed. Thats bad. So I ate an apple instead. And you know what? I actually felt good. Healthier, not guilty, and was not storing another 1/2 pound of fat while I sleep. And that is worth it to me.

In the beginning, there were groceries, and baby steps.

Well. I got paid. FINALLY. 2 weeks goes by so fast, unless your waiting for a check. Last night I went to Meijers, I bought food for this new eating plan. I should say a new way of eating period. I went through the book, and made a list of all the foods that I should get. Chris and I are the same body type, so that was easy. Although, I don't really notice TOO much of a difference between the body types diets. Only I should avoid salt, while others need some. I should avoid some other surprising things too. So most of what I bought was fruits and vegetables. Cheeses, organic of course. Hormones are bad. Milk, eggs, and chicken, also organic and made from free range chickens, and soy milk, which I thought would be totally disgusting, but is actually good. Especially the chocolate one, which is sweetened with cane sugar, which is better than refined sugar, or high fructose corn syrup. I bought organic rolled oats instant oatmeal, cinnamon sugar, and maple sugar, both also sweetened with cane sugar. Very good. Meijers brand. I bought beans, lentils, hummus, quinoa, which I LOVE. It is so good. Like tiny little noodles, that are actually grains. Better than noodles. Better for you too. They are good mixed with tabbouleh, which I also bought stuff to make, it is so easy and good. Whole wheat pasta. I bought smart balance butter stuff, which is better than butter or margarine for you. Hmmmm... I made all healthy choices. Yum. So I ate pretty well today. Not deprived, just better. I drank 8 glasses of water, and even though I didn't exercise, I feel pretty good. Anyway, check that book out. It is pretty reasonable. I will work on the page this weekend. I want weight loss tracking gage. I need to find a good scale though. There was one in the locker room at the club, but they moved it. It's now part of a display upstairs, where you weigh yourself in the middle of the lobby where people are always standing. Decide here if you are overweight. UMMM. No one is using it. It is the only scale around that goes above 300 lbs. Not even the skinny people are doing it. Who wants to weigh themselves in a ritzy country club lobby? So I think I need to complain. Will I? Not personally. That could get me fired. GM is such an asshole, I wouldn't be surprised. Then I could sue him. OOOh. Hmmm. That's pretty sad that I think that way. Oh well. Tomorrow, I will start the exercise program. I'm also tracking what I eat in a little book I got from the dollar store. My friend, who I have mentioned before as the size 2 with the 3 year old and the hot boyfriend, gave me a really good pointer. So has really toned herself up, and built an ass up recently. Yes, so skinny she had no ass. That would suck. But anyway, she told me she never stops moving. Standing at the copier at work? Do knee bends. Walking alone down a hallway, do lunges down the hall. Take the stairs, park further away. Do sit ups and push ups during commercials. She has been doing this since Christmas, and just these small 2 minute changes have made a huge difference. Like those smallsteps.gov commercial where people find loose fat asses and the double chins lying around. Ha. Maybe I'll go check out that page. I think that's what its called anyway. Sigh. I should go to bed. Nighty night.

The Body Shaping Diet: by Dr. Sandra Cabot-

Whoops. I skipped a day. But I was too exhausted to type. My fingers are tired. Why? Because I started playing guitar. Well, not playing exactly. Learning chords. I have had this guitar for over 10 years, but I have never played it. When I was young, my alcoholic 40 year old cousin tried to teach me. He was quite impatient, and he liked to scream at me anytime I made a mistake. He would grab my fingers and try to jam them on the frets where they were supposed to go. Bastard. He made me cry. So At 13 my guitar playing dreams were shot to hell forever. But I figure, now I am older and wiser, more dedicated. I have a new teacher too who is not a total asshole. So that should help, and that's that. I will let you know how it goes. For now, I need to build up the calluses on my fingers, because damn it hurts.

I have discovered the diet program I will stick to. I found this book while searching online to lose 200 lbs. I ordered it from Amazon.com, it was 6 bucks. I think it may become the best 6 bucks I have ever spent. The book is called "Eat right for your body type: The Body Shaping Diet" by Dr. Sandra Cabot.

It covers how all of us have different shapes, and have different hormonal things happening inside us. Basically the whole pear shaped, apple shaped, hourglass- you know. There are 4 main types- here's when I begin to cut and paste-

THE 4 BODY TYPES:
All women’s bodies belong to one of four types. These determine your trouble spots, and the foods that spell danger for your figure.
LYMPHATIC
Often chubby since childhood, the lymphatic-shaped woman gains weight evenly all over- like Roseanne or Oprah. She craves dairy products and salty foods. Soft, cuddly, and often a couch potato, she just hates to exercise!

ANDROID
Her broad shoulders give her an athletic appearance- like Madonna or Cindy Crawford- and a spare tyre around the middle when she puts on weight. She loves high cholesterol hamburgers or steaks, and her excess pounds may mean excess facial and body hair too!

THATS ME!

GYNAEOID
For the classic pear shaped woman, fat is stored in the buttocks and thighs. Favorite foods are creamy cakes and sugary quick fixes- just ask Elizabeth Taylor or Julia Roberts. Most diets make her lose weight where she doesn’t want to - her breasts and face.


THYROID
Lean and rangy, she has long legs, a long neck, and narrow hips like Princess Diana. She may have a propensity for eating disorders and she relishes energy boosters like caffeine, cigarettes, spicy foods or chocolate. No wonder she feels high-strung!


The Body Shaping Diet has many benefits!
With your own simple never-feel-hungry Body Shaping Diet Plan, you will discover the tools to attack those problem areas and overcome your cravings. And as well as fighting the flab, you will learn how to banish cellulite, boost your immune system and eat for a healthy heart!



Ok. It's me again. Sounds interesting to me. Google it peeps. It may help. Keep on keepin' on.
