I'm up late...

I have to say this has been an enjoyable vacation...my little booger came back safe and sound, and I've been able to putter around my house and go to the gym often...

hey speaking of I'm down to 176...I found for me doing the elipical for thirty to fourty minutes on a high setting (10-12) I can burn about four hundred calories...then on to the stair master for 15-20 minutes, I burn about two hundred more...I then do ab work (of course) and maybe two to three machines...I also got to walk alot, I just wont drive the car unless I have to...

Here is something funny...I've gone on spurts where I wont eat something...I didn't eat any red meat for about four years...I didn't eat any carbs for about three years...but I decided that I wasn't goning to do that...I will eat what's healthy in moderation, and eat whats unhealthy in tiny amounts...know what I found? I dont like junk and cake...it leaves an aftertaste in my mouth...
but since I started eating carbs...pasta, white bread, a slice of cake here and there...is when I lost the largest amount of weight.

I have learned its dumb to restrict something totally from your diet...I am eating healthy, substituting whole grain for white, skinless, grilled instead of fried (except choclahontas makes a mean fried chicken wing)...when you restrict you generally substitute for something much worse...I will not buy cookies, cakes, chips (unless they are plantan or sweet potatoe), and I will only eat those things if they are homemade, thus cutting out the excess sugar, fat, and chemicals...I don't drink juice unless I make it myself...

This has worked for me...once I lose weight I can generally keep it off, and knowing what I know now, this time I will keep it off...part of this is knowing I am healthy, and for the first time in my life I am truly happy...emotions play a HUGE part in weightloss/gain...

I'm at peace with my body frame...I'm a big bitch...and that's ok...I'm not sloppy and I can out lift most women and some men...I love working out at the gym and having guys watch me in awe to see what I can do...

So now I'm trying to get moodmagicbarbie to bed...she does not like to wake up and so I have to start pushing her bedtime back and hour a day to acclimate her to the school schedule...This week she was gay, but threw away the rainbow belt...I told her I really don't care cause it really doesnt matter until she starts having sex to which she replied "MA, PLEASE"...I'm gonna take a page out of the blogger "boobs, injuries and Dr. Pepper" (If I figure out how to link her blog to mine you have to read what she did with her son and condoms...I was in hysterics!!!)
So if MMB keeps up her gay rant, I'm going to start buying her gay stuff, and taking her to gay events...I really believe shes just trying to get my attention... I asked her the other day "so you like boobies?" she said "just yours mommy"...that folks is the result of boobie babies...they NEVER forget the boobies...

Girls are funny creatures...they LOVE to push the limits, and do so just to get on your nerves...they say things that they know is going to rattle you and get a heated response...so I don't give them what they want...like when MMB said "ma, I'm gay", i didn't blink an eye and said "oh, okay"...choclahontas at this age told me she was going to have a strip pole in her house...she wanted to be an exotic dancer... I just tell myself over and over again "this too shall pass" and don't give an outward response...and it does pass...to the next idiotic phase.
All girls tell you about the piercings and tatoos they are going to get...I used to tell choclahontas "when your sixteen" but sixteen came and the bitch got a tounge ring and bellybutton ring, so I've moved the age to eighteen...thank God she's in cahoots with me, so when I tell moodmagicbarb "you gotta be eighteen" and she says "but choclahontas wasnt" my darling beloved says "yes I was, just just dont remember"...but this can spark an aurguement because both have minds like elephants and don't forget a thing...

alright...that's my rant for the night...I could go on and on...till next time...
