The Great Diet Challenge

So the great diet challenge is finally over, and while I didn't make my goal weight, I still lost 12lbs. Which feels pretty good. Now that its over, I went a little crazy this week, eating all the bad food I haven't had in months. I've been to McDonald's twice, taco bell once, had pancakes twice, french toast once, and bought sugar cereal (cookie crisp and Cinnamon Toast Crunch) Not to mention my bday fudge. I really need to calm down, before I put all my weight back on. Friday we saw Iron Man 2, which is an awesome summer flick. It was all action and fun and bright, shiny visuals. There is an extra scene at the end of all the credits, so hang out til the bitter end. Saturday we went to Gadsby's Tavern, which has been around since the revolution. They offer Washington's favorite meal (duck breast) as well as other historical meals. I got the grilled filet mignon with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It was really good. The owner came by a couple of times to talk with us. He wanted to know why four young ladies were eating so early. (we got there just as they opened at 5:30) we told him we were going to an art show that our friend was curating. He was nice and funny, and later he sent the Benjamin Franklin impersonator over to our table, and that dude was fricking hilarious. Especially once he started cracking himself up. He started by informing us that as we were four young ladies, unescorted, it was clear that we meant to ply our wanton wiles upon the town, and that the local constabulary had been notified, and that all single available young men and been locked safely inside their homes. He went on like that, cracking all kinds of jokes in that colonial manner of speech, for at least 10 minutes. It was awesome.

Monday AMV

One month into the great Ninja Diet Challenge and I'm down by 8 lbs. Yeah me!

I've been watching Tsubasa, mainly because of a friend of mine at work is getting me into all things Clamp, and a little because its February.

Sigh..bring on the romance.

Monday AMV- late

I was at book club last night, so I didn't have time to get online.

I weighed myself yesterday and ... after the first week of my first ever diet...

*drum roll*

I have gained a pound. This is very discouraging, causing pain that can only be soothed by Cookie Monster singing German Rock.



It really is frustrating. Apparently, I've been hitting the granola a little hard.

Info that would've been Helpful on the bottle

Much like swimming, one should wait an hour after eating before irrigating the sinus.

The sugar cravings started today when I found a root beer I'd forgotten in the office fridge.

I wanted it ...SOOOOOOO BAAAAAAD. I managed to fool myself with a cherry coke zero, and then I went and bought some dried fruit for the next sugar attack.

Monday Movie Funtime

I finally saw Twilight.

I saw it with the rifftrax by the MST3K guys and laughed so hard it hurt. Here's a taste:



I joined this competition at work. Everyone weighed themselves today and then put 50 dollars into the pot. We have 4 months to lose 10% percent of our body weight. If, on May 1st, you've lost the weight you get your 50 bucks back. If not, it gets divided by those who had more self discipline.

I've never tried to lose an actual amount of weight before, so it will be interesting to see how it goes. I have a great workout program with Krav Maga, but I LOVE to eat. And I love to eat a lot of really crappy foods.

It is Day One. So far I have not cheated.

I have also learned that when it comes to sinus irrigation, lukewarm to your finger feels like an icy torrent of death once its shooting up your nasal passage at speed.

I hate being wretched sick.
