I think it is funny that I can actually feel myself change from bitch-mode to happy-camper after I eat a healthy breakfast.

IT’S AMAZING…

…how many bad boyfriend-broke-up-with-me food choices can be presented to one person in a matter of a week.  Guess I better stay focused on the gym.

YOU THINK I WEIGH 135LBS?

I’ve heard this more than once in the past couple weeks and I am still not sure if people are just being nice to make me feel better or if they are being honest.  Today the scale said I weigh 147lbs and most of the time in the mirror I still see 180lbs.  I wonder how long it will take my head to catch up with my body. Hmm.

Since The Biggest Loser will be drawing to a close soon, I am so excited to discover that Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition will be premiering a new season on June 3!
Also, since I won’t have Dolvett Quince anymore, I will be able to ogle Chris Powell.  Both of those men are such studs.

I TURNED DOWN GOING TO A BASEBALL GAME

As much as I love the Dbacks and would love to go to the game tonight, I know that the group of people that asked me will be drinking lots of beer.  It is really hard for me to say no to “just one beer” and then that turns into 2, 3, or 4 beers. 

It sucks that I will not be going to the game, but since I know that I don’t have the willpower to turn down stadium drinks when everyone else is having them, then at least I know enough to just keep myself removed from the situation altogether.  I would just be mad at myself tomorrow for drinking all those pointless extra calories.

Maybe I can find another friend to go with me that doesn’t need to drink at every sporting event.

Anyways, GO DBACKS!

Why yes, I do drink bowls of animal blood in the morning for breakfast!  I also like to gnaw on raw knuckle bones.  And as a meat eater, I never ever eat nuts, grains, fruits or veggies!
What the actual fuck? I am so infuriated with this post!  I have seen it all over my dash today.
I have no problem with vegans or vegetarians - in fact, my best friend is a vegan and one of my favorite restaurants is a vegan restaurant.  But this?! Really? If you are vegan, good for you.  If you like to incorporate meat into your diet, good for you too!  But seriously, demonizing someone else’s diet doesn’t make yours any better… and these types of posts certainly don’t encourage me to want to switch my diet.
