So good!

This long weekend has been utterly fantastic for me fitness wise. I walked every single day for at least 90 minutes. I feel very good when I am walking. I love the air on my face, I love my ipod, and I love how my legs feel when pushed.

I am seriously considering taking up cycling, just for fitness of course. I would have to invest a lot in buying the bike so I don't know how soon I can do it.

Mr. ralph's 30th is looming and I need ideas of what we can do that would be special for him. I have suggested we have a dress up dinner/party and use the Deadwood theme. For those that don't know it, it is old west.

I love the outfits the women wear back then. I want to buy a sexy corset anyway, just for fun. ;)

I really like Joanie and her hats.

I find it interesting to see the changes that have been made since changing your medication. I wasn't aware that Prozac can occlude weight loss progress. I wonder if this has any impact on my own frustrations of late. Is this something that I should have seen in the "side effects" pamphlet? Keep up the great work! You sound like a new woman -- how thrilling for you!

I love Joanie's hats. Very chic. I couldn't live in that time period, though - not enough sanitation and I don't think I could say c**ksucker enough.

I'm glad you're feeling better and getting out for the walking. Each drug has different potential reactions, so changing until you find just the right one for you is very wise.

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...
