2008: The Best Version of Myself

Mal-

I just wanted to tell you that in my dismal state last evening at kickboxing when i just wasn't feeling any of it I mentally pictured the very last thing I have written on my "Reasons why I want to lose weight" statement which reads FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION. Some wise fart told me about that once. Which is exactly why I will be back at the gym tonight. I'm not even sure how much I care about losing weight anymore as much as I just care about eating right and staying motivated to go to this class... and it's been tough.
 
Sometimes farts can be wise -in addition to being funny :) farts are generally just funny though :)

Do that and the weight loss will come - one thing will follow the other...
 
Well, after a two week hiatus here I am. My body decided a week and a half ago that it wanted to have a ten day epic battle to decide if it was having a viral or bacterial infection.... can i just say fuck?.. FUUUUUUUUCK! Life was shitty. I don't remember the last time I curled up in a ball on my bed and cried from how much physical pain I was in. I haven't been sick in years but it just rolled in like it ain't no thang, sista! The only plus side was two days off work, I ate oreos with reckless abandon and still managed to lose three pounds. I'm debating when to get back on the kickboxing wagon. I still have some mucus in my lungs and I'm afraid that working out that hard might not be the best idea, especially since we are leaving for Hawaii in a week. Being in better shape in a week isn't going to be worth shit if I can't breathe and I'm wheezing up the Na Pali coast.

Anyway, back to eating right this week. I even went grocery shopping... last week I lived on frozen food, oreos, Jeff's cooking, starbucks for breakfast, Wendy's 3x, and cough drops. It was an epicurean adventure...

There was a plus side to the week... and it was damn good every time:Angel_anim:

Today is my parents' 24th wedding anniversary... such a long, long time to put up with the same person;)
 
My parents hit 48 years together the end of february -i do not know how people stay together so long... just seems insane to me
 
Now that we all know what Steve is getting....

Jeff and I went out for drinks and to play pool in my sudden quest to become better at the game... and by better I mean I really suck and tried to break at the beginning of a round, hit the ball which went up in the air, hit the overhead lamp and then hit the floor.... people who were next to the table laughed at me and then stared... it was horribly embarrassing. Anyway while we were waiting for a table we were sitting at the bar enjoying our drinks and this conversation happened:

*Bar sign reads: Happy Ending now on tap again!"
Guy #1: Oh man, they have Happy Ending on tap.
Guy #2: Dude, you're married... you always have that on tap.


I thought it was pretty funny:)

according to the guys in the office, happy endings end the moment they say they do... :) especially when there are kids... :D
 
My friend Ryan's grandparents are apparently nymphos. They're in their 60s... have a large porn collection that they leave sitting out in the basement and his grandmother once made the comment, "You're grandfather likes his blowjobs the same way he likes his coffee... every morning before he starts the crossword."
 
BG, you are hilarious!

I'm trying to get better at pool too except I've started to avoid going down to the bar where the pool tables are so that I don't intake the beer calories. Lol. How are you doing at improving your skills?
 
After a three week hiatus I'm back here dusting off this diary. My cold is finally totally gone and we're back from a wonderful week in Hawaii. Hopefully I'll be able to get the pics up by the beginning of next week at the latest. I need to get back into the swing of kickboxing... I've not been there in a month. I also need to get back to calorie counting. I'm not sure what my weight is but maybe it's best not to know until i get in two good weeks at the gym!

Things with Jeff have been kind of on a rollercoaster for the past month. I hate to even admit that. But he was in California this past weekend and I pretty much can't wait to jump into his arms after work. Sometimes a little distance makes the heart grow fonder. If anyone reads Bon Appetit, I am making the Tuscan Chicken found in the January issue on page 26 for him for dinner... planning a little romantic evening just to really get us back into our usual swing.

Carnegie Hall is coming up quite quickly. It will be nice to be back in NYC... how much I love it and miss it. I haven't been there in almost two years. Although I think I will be startled by the obvious still wintertime weather since the south is already in the mid 40-50s and will be probably be in the 60s come the beginning of March. Finally introducing Jeff to my parents... yeah...

Now I need to get back to work so that 5pm comes really fast!
 
Welcome back beautiful lady - Hope hawaii was as amazing as you are...

OOOH exciting stuff -meeting the family.. Hopefully the family will be on their best behavior :)

I hope they will be, too! My parents, especially my father, are very religious... and my boyfriend is not religious at all, and we lived together for almost a year while clearly not married... these are huge no no's to my parents. Especially doing all of this while they've never met him. This will also be the first guy I've ever been involved with that I have introduced. But I hope they give him a chance... he's a super guy who loves me and protects me and takes care of me:) I don't think I could find a better person to bring home to mom and dad.
 
Thursday blues

In college Thursdays were my favorite day of the week... but now Thursday is just an extra day to taunt me about the weekend. I've been looking forward to this weekend since last weekend... for no reason really. Unfortunately it's supposed to rain all weekend.

I realized this week that Carnegie is not four weeks away... it's two weeks away... bah! That means I need to find something to wear. Unfortunately since Atlanta gets warm so much earlier than the north, which I'm used to, everyone has brightly colored spring collections out in stores but I need to be all in black... three-quarter sleeves black! I've been hunting around online but I'm doing some serious hunting in stores this weekend. I hope I can come up with something stylish because I really don't want to sing in black pants and a black top... which is fine, but I want to be pretty:) Also, I haven't learned the music yet... I've done all the pieces previously except for the one a past professor of mine composed specifically for the occasion. My keyboard is still at home so I need to have that shipped ASAP.

I stepped on the scale this morning and to my surprise I've only gained 1-2 pounds since we left for vacation. I'll be honest... I ate like a pig on vacation and since we've been back I've not exactly been virtuous in taking strides to being a slimmer hot self. But I'm back on the kickboxing wagon on Monday. I'm also going to cash in one my two PT sessions that I get with my membership to get a weight lifting routine put together. I always look so good when I'm lifting weights.

And... um... I'm in love with the most wonderful guy in the entire world:beating:
 
Honestly- everytime I see him it makes me feel like I want to scream "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" all the way around his apt building... in a good way of course!

On another note... something to spice up anyone's day...
