I've got a headache today, but not a big one. It's just there, thumping in the background, making my teeth ache and my stomach roil. I think it's probably due to the weather and causing a bit of an interaction with sinuses so I'm medicating with Fruit Loops (limited edition Rainbow Loops) and Coca-Cola Classic to see if that works. And since I've just inadvertently slammed the weather, I have to defend the rainy days we've had for the majority of the summer, because I don't mind the rain at all. As a matter of fact, I am probably ideally suited to live in Portland where it rains 80% of the year. Rain does not depress me. I love how green it makes everything. And I'm very glad we've had it because now our water table is back, and then some. We were pushing serious drought levels and I for one did not want to be told that I could not wash my car ... not that I religiously wash my car, it's just the thought of being told that I couldn't, if I SHOULD want to... :)
Today is Thursday, and a fine one it is. I'm looking back on my week and am realizing that I'm tracking days by what I ate. Is this how everyone else does it, too? :)
On Saturday I had Sushi for lunch from the amazingly incredible Arrigato Sushi Buffet in Fairlakes Center. Saturday night I had a Chipoltes Chicken Burrito, (thanks to all those not-so-subliminal hints from PeeKay) and a Cinnabon cinnamon roll. This was soooooooo good that on Sunday I went back to the mall, bought FOUR BURRITOS (2 steak, 2 chicken) and a BOX of Cinnamon Rolls (6) and proceeded to have lunch and dinner for the next 3 days, not to mention dessert.
End result: I am now SICK of Cinnamon Rolls and I'm sure I've gained at least 5-lbs because my stomach has expanded beyond comfort level for several pairs of pants. What does this say to me? SHARONDARELLA NEEDS TO GO BACK ON A DIET & EXERCISE PROGRAM, IMMEDIATELY.
The only exercise I've gotten this week has been flipping channels from the couch or chair I was laying in and shifting my
faithful (lazy) dog sprawled at my feet or lying on my stomach, depending on his mood. I watched movie after movie after movie, heck, I probably watched every movie on all 900 something channels ... TWICE ... And it was GREAT! :D Although, not so great for the rate of the stomach spread. I think no more movie marathons for me for awhile.
I saw a story on Fox5 News today about a resort south of Cancun that caters to the morbidly obese, and I thought, HELL, I should give in, become a True Lard Ass (instead of the pseudo lard ass I am now) and go on vacation with the rest of the fatties. One bit of advice the fat lady gave (she was head of an organization called something like Advancement of Rights for Fat Asses ... okay, she might have said Fat People...) was "Fat people are here to stay, and we want the same rights as other people. We are no longer the minority (Sad, isn't it? Shouldn't be a bragging point) so don't wait until you lose weight to go on vacation. Get out there and enjoy yourself" ('for tomorrow you will die of hypertension, heart failure or diabetes?') How motivational. ;)
Number of Rainbow Fruit Loops consumed this morning: 12
Number of drivers encountered today who can't drive in the rain: 12
(Coincidence? I don't think so. I think it means that they are all fruit loops under the surface...)
