And today they did! I walked 5 miles from my house over the Williamsburg bridge into Manhattan. It felt great!!!! It's something I have been wanting to do for a really long time!
CAUTION: VERY CRAPPY CAMERA PHONE PHOTOS AHEAD
Foopa: Blubber located at the waist line.
Now, to clarify this a little more, I do want to mention that even women without a lot of blubber can give themselves a foopa-like effect if they wear the wrong size pants! That being said, WHY for the love of GOD do women insist on accentuating and highlighting their foopas? I do not understand this one bit. I am struggling, sometimes winning, and sometimes losing a weight loss battle myself. But what I will give myself credit for, is NEVER wearing pants that create a foopa (aka roll, muffin top, etc.). Then, to make matters worse, some women pair their wrong-size-jeans with a tight, short shirt, which periodically rides up revealing the aforementioned foopa. What look at they going for exactly? I hope this post will serve as a wake-up call for offenders everywhere...this is not cute!!!!
I have resorted to cruel and unusual tactics to ensure that I do not cheat on my diet. Now when I say "diet" I really mean that I am just trying to eat well and shed some pounds...it's just easier to say diet. Ok, so my new tactic is (insert horror music here), whenever I feel the urge to cheat on my "diet" I watch a Beyonce or Shakira music video. By the time it's over, the urge to comsume inhale the the sweet creamy goodness that melts on my tongue and leaves a lingering hint of sugary bliss....oh crap brb...
Ok, I'm fine now, and suddenly I want carrots.
Ok yeah, I'm thankful, but as a vegetarian, if I had to hear "Happy Turkey Day" just one more time... *covers ears* It's like telling an Atheist "God bless you." I don't want to be that vegetarian that tries to rain on everyone elses meat parade, but FYI Thanksgiving is not a very happy day for the Turkies...or Native Americas for that matter, for some it's actually considered a day of mourning.
I for one, am looking forward to the warmth and fuzziness of Christmas. It is truly my favorite time of year! I'm trying to drop at least 10lbs before the company Holiday party, so I can PROPERLY fit into something cute. Today was the first day of my supposed return to normal food cosumption. I don't think I did very well. I had a corn muffin for breakfast, and egg and scallion fried rice with a veg roll for lunch. *sigh* Tomorrow, tomorrow will be better.
I recently gained back nine of the thirty pounds that I lost, and it really has me bummed. I have been spiraling out of control with my late night eating inhaling of food. It's definitely a myth that vegetarians are skinny! I have also been indulging in large amounts of irresistible sweets. That's my weakness! A friend brought cupcakes from Crumbs Bake Shop to a little gathering we had this past weekend. OMG OMG OMG They were heavenly. In addition to the overeating, I haven't been going to the gym regularly. I had been going at least four times a week, doing mega mega cardio. I have been trying to convince myself that I'm very active all day thus burning off all the crap that I have been placing ever so lovingly in my mouth. Yeah right! I would have jog to Canada just to break even. So this post is serving as a contract with myself that as of right now Friday, I am going to resume my normal eating and working out regimen.
