My Selfish Year, and the journey to skinny

grats on fitting into your skinny jeans. sorry about your so called friend. some people are just nasty sometimes. looks like your diet has been really solid. thats great! I had the opposite experience :( got new jeans that were the same size i was wearing and it turns out they are to small. i look like a stuffed sausage in them. It turns out my other jeans are so stretched out they are not the same size anymore. i am not happy. I happy for you though. just remember to save one pair of fat pants so you can put them on when you weight 150 ish and take a picture of how big they are compared to you.
 
Lol @ Brawny!


And thanks ya'll for the kind words. People suck. And really vain people with the IQ of a slug suck even worse. I generally don't accept friend requests from people I don't know and don't interact with often but it just figures that one bad seed will get through any screening process.


I woke up so late this morning! I usually get up around 5:30am and am off to work by 7ish, but this moring my son came in my room and woke me up at 8:15! The office opens at 8. School starts at 8:30. We were both really late. I didn't get to the office till 5 after 9. EEEEk!


I am so glad it is Friday. at 5pm tonight I start my 9 day weekend ;) Took all of next week off, sandwiched between two weekends. OH SOOOOO HAPPY! And this sounds crazy but I'm excited to get on the scale come Sunday morning. I can't wait to see if I broke into the 230's. I'm not going to peek before sunday, which for me shows incredible restraint.
 
Just got Internet back up at my house, the weather has been sucking. Rain, 70 mph winds, avalanches, floods. Yesterday afternoon was a nightmare. Today looks like more of the same. We've got a 970 millibar low pressure system about to hit us so, on my day one of vacation I'm heading to work to Batton down the hatches. Yay. More later :)
 
aaaaaaawwwwwwllllrighty. Whatta day.


So, I bought this breakfast bar with two stools but when it arrived it was just...meh...so, I decided to put casters on it. Because casters make everything better (except high heels). So I went to the hardware store to buy casters were I ran into old friend that I've not seen in about...11 years. Anyways, four beers and three pieces of pizza later and we're all caught up and my breakfast bar still doesn't have casters on it and I'm too tipsy to work a drill driver. To clarify, our hardware store does not have pizza and beer, but the bar across the street does.


So I'm guessing pizza and beer are bad for the diet so I have no faith in tomorrows weigh in being a positive experience. But, I did get a lot of exercise in today. Went to the dump, which was loading a bunch of trash in my pickup which was of course loading it from the shed, walking uphill in ankle deep slush. And then unloading the new breakfast bar which was really heavy, and at least it was a downhill haul.


Anyways, I think I have a date on Monday night. Sushi. That's healthy for the most part. Just have to take it easy on the sake. And the rice.


Tomorrow is the superbowl. And as we all know, the superbowl tends to come with poor decision making, beer, and snacks. Just a warning so that tomorrow when I write about all the beer and snacking and poor decisions I've made nobody is taken aback or dies of surprise.
 
Fun start to the vacation by the look of it. Hopefully all hatches have been battened and the the avalanches/flooding missed you.


Wouldn't worry too much about the beer and pizza, could always avoid the weigh in for an extra day or two. Sometimes we all need a break from strictly following the main plan and I'm sure there are likely benefits to letting our body know that there's no famine approaching with the occasional high calorie day.


Hope you enjoy the super bowl.
 
Yey good start to tyou holidays I had a cheat night last night went to movies had a fair bit of junk!! We got snow yesterday! only a couple of inches mind lol no avalanches un less eston hills decide to drop all its snow lol very unlikely!! Hope youve managed to get some casters and I ope the superbowl is ace!!
 
wow! LOL! I love your diary you are so funny! We should all get selfish it totally helps, great diet plan! Your posts really have me laughing out loud. And yeah the funbags thing I've been sitting here depressed over the boob situation. I had a little before, now I question being skinny with NO boobs, or being fat with boobs.... sucks (ever heard the quote about fried eggs hanging on a nail)... well I feel I'm getting close to that... with extra skin and almost no boob I hate!!!!! it
 
Because casters make everything better (except high heels).

Casters on high heels could be fun if you get a good dance partner!


Don't sweat a couple of drinks and some pizza or superbowl snackin


1.You gotta let your hair down once in a while or you will go crazy.


2.Its not about being perfect Its about stringing more good days together than bad ones


Sorry to hear about your bad weather up there. You know Texas would be bigger than Alaska if Alaska ever melted...har har
 
So, rough day, despite the fact that I'm not working. A good female friend of mine, who is 4 years and some change older then myself, had a heart attack this morning. She's young, has young children and then has a freakin heart attack! In her 30's! WTF! I know genetics and many other things probably factor into that kinda thing, but, my mind is still blown. She's alive, but, her whole life is about to change.


Anyways.....one word to sum up my day...beer. There are about 10 of them leftover from yesterday. So, not having anything to do today but clean and be idle I'm drinking beer. Didn't eat breakfast or lunch, ad a latte around 1 and then beer. Mmmmmmm beer. Might go out for sushi on a date tonight, but my date might have to work late so might push it back to tomorrow night. Either wy, I've got ample calories in the budget for it.


I went to my moms house this morning because she was hysterical because she thought my dog was dead under her boat trailer. I knew it wasn't my dog because she was laying on my feet it was a dead fox. Waiting for my dad to get off work and if the pelt is good we'll skin it and tan the hide. It's a nice winter coat on a blue fox so, it's nice that it decided to die so conveniently for us ;) a good fox pelt goes for about $120 bucks here at the consignment shop.
 
So. Weird date night. I'm a little tipsy right now so, forgive spelling,grammar and foul language should it appear in this post.


I hate being single. And, I hate dating. It's so fucking awkward. Trying to make a good impression, over food, when your a fat chick, just...never...works. And sushi is possibly the most awkward food to try and shove in your mouth, chew, and talk...just...no. Never. Again.


If that guy calls me tomorrow, or ever again it'll be a flippin miracle.
 
Hectic day, sorry to hear about your friend having a heart attack. That's scary stuff and motivation for us all to get healthier to help reduce the risk of it happening to us. Genetics sure come into play but it still helps to get a handle on the risk factors that we can control.


Wouldn't worry about the date, the guys was likely worried about coming off as a tool the entire evening. Dating from what I remember is awkward and filled with pressure to not say anything too dumb while attempting to carry on a conversation.


For your next date you should invite him along to tan the fox hide... hmmm, when I reread that last sentence it sounds quite dirty... I think I've discovered a new euphemism.
 
A cold beer sounds really good to me right now. Heckofa day at work today...People and their problems...Thats what I do.


But enough about me, this is your thead and you are out there skinnin dead foxes and having adventures in dating!


At least you are accumulating amusing stories to share with us. I would be absolutely lost if I had to re-enter the dating world today. I probably would join a monestary....one that makes beer....great big wooden kegs of beer! Brother Brawny of the order of flatulence.
 
Funny story Brawny, the janitor I hired when I took over admin of or center was fresh from a monastic life where he had taken a vow of silence and had spent the better part of his former life growing grapes and making wine. Really cool dude. So, that lifestyle, appeals to many ;)


And, the fox is skinned, and a full necropsy with the neighborhood kids has been done. Dead foxes stink.


And on a depressing note today I sold my dining room table. It seated, at max, 10 people. When I bought it, I was getting married, had my son, and two potential step sons and dreams of more babies. it was taking up space, physical and emotional. It's depressing because it kind of puts the nail in the coffin if the Family I once dreamed of having. But, I just reclaimed like, two dozen square feet of space in my open floor plan living space.


On the food/nutrition front today, my son made dinner, he used pillsbury dough crescent fools and rolled them up with ham and cheese, very good. Don't try it,bthey are over 200 calories each and super addictive. I put the rest of them in the freezer for him to nuke for breakfast for the rest of the week.


My ex fiancé has been sorta back in my life for the last few days, texting me when I wake up and when I'm going to sleep. He's having a tough time, he's in the service and about to re-deploy and sure his number is up. Hard to feel sympathy, he left me for another chick...really hard.


Anyways, staycation sucks.
 
Physical and emotional house cleaning can be very healthy...all part of the new you.


Mrs Brawny has me scheduled to re-stain our porch during Spring break so I can relate to the staycation thing...maybe it will rain
 
I love your diary. It's real, crass and funny.


Also, with regard to the skinny jeans... You're braver than I am, so I have to give you props. Those things make me look like a fucking potato on toothpicks.


Keep up the good work and thanks for the laughs.
 
*taps his foot waiting for your next update*


Been over two days and you called me out last week for missing one... How was the rest of the staycation?
 
Hey Oldschool,

Hope your staycation is winding up and you are feeling liberated...I totally understand about the dining room table thing...I love beautiful dining rooms...even if I don't use it very often (none, now that I am living "on the expat trail"...I have one in storage and it seats 8 comfortably with 2 leaves that can make it seat 12...and I have the table clothes and silverware etc...but it's all for play...only functional about 1/year. My husband and I weren't able to have children, so it just sits there, looking pretty...but taking up space. I'll probably sell it when I get back to the US...just to declutter my life...I don't have to make that decision today...

Enjoy your time off work, even if it's not "exciting"...it is at least time YOU can choose how you spend!
