Happy New Year Beautiful, Beautiful People.

This is my New Years Resolution: TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!!!! Bah Humbug.

How much do you want to lose, you ask.
Hmmmm....about 6 foot tall scandinavian super model. Do you think I can do it? If you answered yes...well...you have more confidence in me than I do. Every year I make this resolution and instead of losing the weight...I gain about 10. How unfair!!! If that doesn't qualify as one of the circles of Dante's Inferno...

Anyways...I am 5'4" and 250 lbs. I know how unhealthy it is which is one of the reasons why I am so serious about losing the weight...this time. So wish me luck.

My plan is to check back here on a fairly regular basis to let everyone know how I am doing. It will hold me accountable for my actions...or inactions. However way you want to look at it. If you're in the same situation, let me know how it's going. Maybe we can all support each other. Good Luck, all.

til next time

135....HELLO!?!? THAT'S NOT A SUPERMODEL. THAT'S A PLUS SIZED MODEL. Ladies get it straight. Gee whiz. Someone is way behind on reading all the fashion glossies and behind on their brainwashing sessions. If I miss an edition of cosmo, cosmogirl, cosmotoddler, or cosmoembryo I try to double up on my America's Next Top Model; E! 101 Hottest, Sexiest, Smolderingest Celebrity Body Parts; and Laguna Beach. So ladies...get on the ball...watch these shows and know that you are unworthy to be noticed unless you are a size 0 1/2, cerebrally challenged, and looking as if addicted to nonfat heroin.

POPPYCOCK!!!!

Anyways...I am watching what I am eating...never taking my eyes off my fork as it shovels food into my mouth. Just kidding! I've restricted my caloric intake to about 1500. Cutting out all processed foods...foods high in fat and junky carbs. So I am eating foods that I have prepared and foods high in fiber and whole grain. In other words, I've gotten to know my colon well these couple of days. I'm well on my way to being regular...WOOHOO! Not so woohoo for whoever has to use the bathroom after me. Sorry, family. (HEY, YOU! UNSCRUNCH YOUR FACE. Just because we are ladies doesn't mean that we don't appreciate good toilet humor when we read it. Go ahead...you want to laugh)

As far as exercise goes....my ass...er...gluteus maximus is a bit on the sore side. I got a new exercise dvd and tried it out because I am always up for a challenge. I should have known the pain I would be in since the name of the dvd was BUN BATTLE. My buns lost the battle. I am doing about an hours worth of strength and resistence training using weights and a stability ball. I'm on the elliptical trainer for about 35 minutes and in the evening I walk my dog for a half hour...HA!!!! Let's see how long this will last.

Have you ever stayed up late at night and caught yourself watching informercials for diets and fitness tapes. Well...that's how I discoverd the Gunnar Petersen's Core Secrets Exercise DVDs. I'm not running around my house or bouncing off the wall. I'm not being knocked senseless by my wobbling fat rolls as I try to do an acrobatic maneuver that the instructor swears will give me sexy toned thighs, six pack abs, and allow me to figure out my income taxes on my own. It's not necessarily low impact but it's not like those exercise tapes where you have to be a size 10 first in order to do it. So if you have the extra money...check it out. Besides, it's hard to be in a bad mood and angry at the exercise when you're laughing at how ridiculous you look trying to balance your ample behind on the ball. If anything, we're entitled to a chuckle and a smile...right, ladies.

Well, I have to go. It's getting late and I have to fill my bathtub up with ice to soothe my aching buttocks.

til next time
