Must Eat Meat

So, I'm no carb-ing it...Like NO carb-ing it.  I'm currently in the induction phase of Atkins & am limiting myself to mainly meat & cheese (and the occasional Jello cup).  Please spare me the "this is no good for you" lecture, because I know, and I have not been feelin' my best on it.

BUT, you see, we are having a contest at work to lose weight & grand prize is 5-hundy (as in $500), and I happen to know that since I screwed around the first 2 weeks of the contest I NEED a diet that's proven to drop weight fast.  Last time I did this I lost 14 pounds in 2 weeks & I was about 40 pounds smaller then (which makes me think that I'll lose weight faster now?)!

PLUS, it's the easiest diet to do during football season & Stephen has hopped on board with me. And it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to lose the poundage...I really want to fit into some of my old clothes again!

  

So, guess I've admitted it (somewhat) publicly now...I've gained 40 pounds (some days more) since I've moved to NY...for those keeping count, that's 3-4 sizes!  I know, Oh My Goodness!!! 

I've had high cholesterol (no kidding), and while that should be a VERY serious subject - I, go figure, have a funny story about it (or a story, nonetheless).

So, for those who have yet to experience the joys of high cholesterol, once you get the 'Strol (that's lingo), ANYWAY, once you get it you have to go in every 3 months to test & see where you are (or at least I did).  The Doc did NOT want to put me on the meds (because apparently once you start you can't stop - kind of like with Pringles or Lays & also because it wasn't ALL bad - I had a high amount of Good cholesterol, too - Thank You Monounsaturated Fats!)...

Anywho, he had me coming in to test & see how I was doing on the "diet/exercise" that he said would lower the 'Strol.  So I guess it was mid-November last year (as I  had just wrecked my company car - different story, different blog), and I was going to be late for one of these tests (because I had to ride the train to work).

I called the Doc to let him know about my lateness & it was decided I would come in a couple hours later, which gave me time to go by the office first.  Well - whaddaya know - when I get to the office someone has brought Munchkins (while I'm not a Dunkin Donuts fan, you can't beat donut holes in all the different donut flavors)!   And I proceed to eat - oh, half a dozen....maybe nine...okay I lost count.

You know what comes next...I have to call the Doc to tell him I've just eaten more than enough Munchkins & I would not be able to make the Cholesterol appointment!  Oh my...his only response (cuz what else could he do) was to ask, "Was it good?"  My reply (cuz what else could I say) was, "Oh YES they were!!"  

The moral of this blog, I suppose, is that my Doc would freak if he knew I was subjecting myself to eating such high fat items...but, oh well...anything for a little extra dough & to be back in fightin' shape!

Photo send-off is a cartoon send-off this week...reminds me of Stephen & I this weekend!

I Do. I Did. Now What?!

If you are recently married, or have been married for some time, or even if you are getting married...this is a Great & Funny must read book...LOVE it!

Fact & Fantasy

Even though I feel like this...

I am going to try my best to stay up & watch the Cowboys - in hopes that they not only kick the pants off the Eagles, but also (and really more importantly) to track how well our fantasy football team does!  And that is a fact!

Notice I call it OUR fantasy football team.  You see, Stephen drafts the team (after all it is a league with all of his buddies) & then I help manage it throughout the season!  It's a perfect marriage & a fabulous way to get into the games.  I LOVE it!  

I used to make fun of Stephen & his fantasy team.  There is a great Bud Light commercial (you know the one with the deep voice guy talking about different types of 'guys')...well, this one is the Fantasy Football guy & it makes fun of the fact that they have a fantasy team in a fantasy draft & they probably used to be big into dungeon & dragons with their fantasy girlfriends!  (or something like that - anyway, it was funny!)

Now I'm so into, I can't make fun of it.  I find myself scouting players & talking to him about trades...my oh my!

So, while I'm super exhausted & have a lot of work to do, I find myself getting ready to cheer on the real deal Cowboys & a team that only exists on the computer!

**Photo send-off is suspended this time due to the fact that I posted a picture of myself practically drooling at the beginning of this blog...go ahead scroll back up & make fun!**

I'm not Clumsy...I Just Fall A lot

It's been so, so long...so, so long.  I never figured out my IPhoto problem, so now I have to save pictures to my desktop, then upload them to the blog.  I'm sure you don't care about my hassles, but you know, I might as well share them anyway!

So, what have we been up to the past couple months...

Well, we celebrated our 1st anniversary, went to Mexico, celebrated my 28th birthday, had visits from the in-laws & my momma, went to Austin, floated on...guess we've done some stuff.  I totally want to post pics of all that, but y'all will just have to trust me, because that's just too much to handle.

 So now, we will start fresh & tackle the title of this blog...Yes, it is TRUE...I fell AGAIN! 

I was leaving a customers @ Bond & Lafayette Streets and the wedge sandals combined with the uneven sidewalk equaled disaster for my leg.  Take a look yourself...

I know, I know...can I seem any clumsier??  At least I didn't break anything this time...just a couple of bad raspberries & some bruised ego!  I think my main mission in life now is just to try & stay upright!

Already time for Photo send-off...it's the picture I promised like 4 posts ago...here are the koozies I had made for the River trip...totally loved the job the "Beer Koozies" did - should you ever need custom koozies, they are definitely the place to go!
