Mark Ingram Won the Heisman!!!

I never understand why I choose to go on a diet around the holidays.  I think my reasoning is that I will get a head start on everybody else that will start a diet in January.  I went to two Christmas parties this past weekend.  I wasn’t perfect but I for sure wasn’t as bad as I could have been.  Tomorrow is my official weigh-in day.  Hoping I stay the same.

I’m having a hard time getting motivated to blog. I wish I could come up with something clever to write about but I can’t.  I had a funny thought earlier today but I have forgotten what it was.  Oh well.

Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer and Beer

Well, I’ve been on Weight Watchers for three weeks now and I have lost a total of 8.5lbs.  Yea me!! Not too shabby considering during that time it was Thanksgiving and I also went to Mobile and ate too much seafood.  It has also been football season which means that I have been drinking a lot of beer (thank goodness for MGD 64 and my 35 weekly flex points).  Beer and football go together like Mom and apple pie in my book.  I’ve discovered that there is a direct correlation between the amount of beer I drink and how well Alabama is doing.  The Auburn game was quite stressful, therefore I drank more beer.  The Florida game ended up being not quite as stressful, therefore I did not drink as much.  I was fully expecting the Florida game to be a lot more stressful so I decided to allot myself a certain number of beers per quarter.  Three beers per quarter to be exact.  Around the end of the second half I began to panic because it occurred to me that I didn’t account for a possible overtime situation.  Since I only bought a twelve pack that was going to be a problem.  Thankfully the Crimson Tide had my back and kicked the crap out of Florida and never looked back.  ROLLLLL TIDE ROLLLL!!!  Look out Texas!

So since I am doing WW online, I record all of my points on my online account.  After reviewing the entries of the past few weeks it has occurred to me that I have recorded a large amount of beer (see previous paragraph).  It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the invisible online WW Master sends me a message and asks if I have considered AA.  But I have come up with a diabolical plan….Instead of recording my beer points as “beer”, I will from now on label it as “Kashi Pilaf”.  Don’t worry about me WW Master… I’m not drinking too much beer, I’m getting a bunch of wholesome Kashi fiber.

WORTH EVERY PENNY

Let the Games Begin

I’m in Tuscaloosa getting ready to get my eat on.  No Weight Watchers tomorrow.  I lost six pounds this week.  I’ll do my best to not gain it all back in one day.  On Friday I’m heading to Mobile to hang out with one of my best friends.  Be back in the Ham on Sunday.  More posting planned for next week.  I might even start exercising.  I watched the Biggest Loser: Where are they now episode.  That was pretty inspiring stuff.  I also watched Roger Shultz attempt to snap a football into a big fake Jay Leno mouth as part of The Biggest Loser talent show on Leno….that was not so inspiring*.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

* The football snapping was not so inspiring, he is still looking good.

45-0 Bless Their Hearts

So I just spent an entire football game cleaning out my blogroll.  It has been so long since I was a regular blogger that a lot of the blogs I used to follow are no longer in existence.  I followed mostly “fatbloggers”.  So I guess a bunch of folks met their goal weight or they gave up.  Even though I have not really lost any weight since I started this blog over two years ago, at least I’m here trying again.  I scrolled through some of my old posts and it is a little depressing. Looks like I am fond of getting back on the wagon.  I considered deleting some of them because it is kind of embarrassing.  I didn’t delete anything though because each post serves as a reminder of where I have been.  Maybe someone out there can benefit from that.

I apologize for the lack pictures.  I like to use pictures in my posts because they take up a lot of white space and I think it is funny.  I’m using this laptop my husband gave me and there is a glitch in it I need him to fix because it won’t let me save anything to the hard drive. He keeps telling be Ubuntu is glitch free. whatever.

I started Weight Watchers on Monday and things are going well so far.  I have not passed out from lack of doughnuts yet.  My weigh-in day is Tuesday so I will let you know how it goes.  I don’t think I am going to post my actual weight, I’ll just tell you how much I have lost.  Let’s just say I have about 80 pounds to lose.

It is taking me a while to get used to the changes in WordPress so I’m still playing around.  I promise more entertaining posts in the future.

ROLLLLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Secret of My Excess

I named this post a few weeks ago.  Sometimes when I have a good idea for a post I will save a draft with a few keys words to remind me of what I wanted to write about.  This one only had a title.  I don’t remember what it was supposed to be about.

I joined Weight Watchers online yesterday.  I’m too lazy to actually go to meetings so the online version is perfect for me.  The only thing wrong with the online version is that it would be really easy to cheat.  On my weigh-in day I could put any weight I want.  No stranger there to weigh me and keep me honest.  Every week I could decrease my weight by 5lbs.  Then I would get to see the line on the graph move down hill.  The computer doesn’t know if I’m telling the truth.  I could reach my goal weight (in cyberspace) in record time.

The worst thing about joining is having to be honest about my weight.  The second worst thing is when it is trying to calculate how many points you can have a day it asks your activity level.  I had to pick the option that indicates that I sit on my ass all day long.  Actually, if it is possible to do a negative amount of activity per day I would have chosen that one.

I love to eat.  I love to eat when I’m sad, happy, angry, tired and any other emotion you can have in a day.  I love it and I hate it at the same time.  It makes me miserable.  So yesterday I decided I could be miserable and eat all the time and be fat or I could start eating less and be miserable and be skinny.  Let’s see how the skinny miserable works out.

My friend and I decided that we were going to be skinny one more time before we die.  If we can’t then we agreed to find a very skilled mortician that can make us a size 2 with washboard abs.
