G is for Gastric Bypass Surgery

Wouldn't it be nice if going under the knife could solve all our problems.  I just spend ALL DAY at the gym and what does my husband say?  "Are you going back for that yoga class you wanted to try?"  Is he crazy?  What part of ALL DAY does he not understand?  It is now 7:30 pm and if he thinks my feet can even carry me to bed, he's got another think coming!  I am so exausted, I can't even chew dinner.  I would rather be hungry.

F is for Fatty Annie and Famous Amos

When I feel like I am having a lazy day, I just make sure I move more than Fattie Annie. 

 

Although Famous Amos sleeps almost as much as Fattie Annie, he prefers the couch cushions.  Probably because she won't share.

E is for ?

A box without hinges, key, or lid,

Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

J.R.R .Tolkien

I probably should have blogged about exercise or some such nonsense, but who wants to hear about that!?! 

Donuts

My eternal downfall is the donut.  It doesn't even have to be good.  I will eat them stale, half-eaten, no frosting...but I will draw the line at buggy.  I won't eat a donut that has bugs on it.  Maybe I should imagine that apple fritter with the so soft middle and crispy edges containing little bugs instead of the apples.  Perhaps then I can resist, but I doubt it.

Counting Calories

Can you tell I am fixated on my waistline?  There is something to be said about the focus needed to blog everyday and stick to a diet.  For some reason having to do both is working for me, at least so far.  I figure since I love food so much it should be easy for me to blog about it every day.  The creativity needed to make diet food edible goes hand in hand with blogging.

Blueberries

Every day I am allowed two or three servings of fruit.  I used to be cheap and just eat apples or bananas but I am now splurging on blueberries.  I have them with milk, plain yogurt, oatmeal, blended like a milkshake, on cereal.  And apparently the are one of the foods highest in antioxidants.  That means once I loose all my weight I won't have any wrinkles either.  I will be one hot mama, if only I can stick to this dang diet.

Aspartame

I have been following Nutrisystem for a while and have discovered a few things about myself.  Aspartame may be an alternative for sugar, but it has a downside.  I can guarantee that one hour after consuming a food containing aspartame I will be hungry again.  Not regular hungry, but starving hungry...feed me right now hungry.  Therefore, I am trying to enjoy my food without any sweetener.  It's tough.  Some days I would rather be fat.
