Oh bugger! I guess a week in vacation mode is bound to put a couple of pounds back on. I was going to skip this week’s weigh in to avoid the atrocity…but somebody, and I won’t mention any names…cough cough…Kim Brenner…cough cough, told me I had to bite the bullet and step up on the scale. I hate her just a little bit for it, because I was planning on living in ignorant bliss this week. Not to worry, back to business per usual and ready to bust a move! (But I don’t care what anyone says…I’m getting that damned massage…I lost 20 pounds, doesn’t matter if I didn’t keep it off!)
But I did manage to survive a week without Starbucks, so that’s something new and different. I thought I wouldn’t miss it that much, but I did. It’s a small ritual that brings me happiness. I really, really wish I could quit that corporation and support the mom and pop coffee shops. You know, fight the man! But blast it to hell, I never like their drinks as much! I know those poor farmers work their balls off and Starbucks rips them off royally and that I’m paying for a drink that is marked up about 250%....but I can’t help myself. Sometimes it’s just the little things. But I think I might be able to limit myself to one or two a week. That seems doable, right? Yes, I agree.
So what else is new and exciting in my life? Still up in the air as far as future employment and grad school, but I have been practicing for my street performance shtick. I have it narrowed down to my dance that I’ve choreographed to the song “Kung Fu Fighting,” OR my impersonation of a chicken that can say “fuck off.” Any thoughts as to which will have a bigger payout?
Oooohhhh!!! I almost forgot to tell you guys…I’ve decided to invest in a bike. Instead of getting ass raped by the gas prices every day, I thought I’d get a little more exercise and use biking as one of my modes of transportation. I’ve started doing some research (I was a bit naïve…I thought $200 would get me a QUALITY bike) and I’m going to go check out some bikes for short ladies such as myself. The inspiration for this is also due to a certain Mrs. Kim Brenner who has been shedding the pounds due to her uber cycling life style. Plus, doesn’t bike riding just remind you of being a kid again? You know, where you’d ride around the neighborhood by yourself making up stories and imaginary friends? No? Just me? OK. So I’m going to go check it out and become a cycling lady! I mean, I don’t foresee getting cycling shoes and all sorts of crazy accessories, but still a cycling lady indeed. Maybe next week I’ll get all fancy and put up pictures with my fancy new wheels!!! And no more slacking this week…vacation or no… back on the ball!
Bicycle away my friend! Great song by the way. Intend to be peddling my ass around kent for a while upon my arrival in the US...though I am still afraid I have a bit of a fear since going over my handlebars in good old eburg some time ago and scaring my knee nice and good...but eh...its cheaper and healthier than a car these days, or ummm ever. So enjoy. I suggest a little basket too...you live close enough to hippie-ville so eh...get a basket and a bell and do some shopping and all that cool stuff on your bike--then you wont have to worry about being a crazy cyclist that runs people over on purpose...just a suggestion. cuz i hate those spandex loving, toned, assholes that seem to think that even people walking to get around are stupid and lame. (just a bit bitter after working in downtown seattle--just a bit). :) anyways, good job on the reality check with the weight too...keep it up. set backs are bound to happen, just keep up the good work and keep rewarding each little milestone. You will get there soon. and I'll be there to see it! and then give you a cupcake. ;) red-velvet and cream cheese sound good!? hehe. anyhow. love you much my dear friend. xx
