*poof*

At 3:00pm the phone call came.

‘Annie, the realtor for the house has counter-bid $415,000 for all offers.’

So right there in the county car in the parking lot on a bright sunny day

I felt a sharp pang and my eyes clouded up.

It’s deeper than the house.

Yeah, I put it up as a my screen saver about a week ago because I want the universe to bring it to me.  I’ve been thinking about it non stop.

Get the house,

begin the process for getting the kid(s)

move forward in life.

It took me everything to not say to my realtor, ‘Thanks for letting me know Jeff that life has kicked me in the stomach yet again.’

So I cancelled my afternoon appointments and drove home.

I cried and went to sleep.

I’ve been fighting off thoughts of how my past has something to do with how my personal life is at a standstill.

I feel like crap.

Auntie Monthly has been fierce and relentless.  My neck and back are hurting

and 

now this?

No more thinking.

I’m exhausted and weary.

Tomorrow is another day.

vietnamese coffee

My back is absolutely killing me.

I’ve had aches and pains but this is ridiculous…Aunt Monthly is here to visit as well.

I have walked ‘briskly’ for 30 minutes for the past 3 days and been real proud of myself for it - but what the hell is up with my back?!

I am over 300 calories today due to that lovely cup of vietnamese ice coffee.

Who knew condensed milk is friggin 130 calories per 2 tbsps?

I’ll tell you what it was friggin HEAVENLY but oh so oh so WRONG.!

Yikes.

That coffee ended up costing me nearly 400 calories!  GEEZ!

Dang, lessons learned.

I did not know that one serving of half and half was like 20 calories (you know those little cups of it?)…

I was briefly hooked on McD’s ice coffee regular - so bad for you too :(

Oh goodness.

Oh well.

Lessons learned.

project annie

so it’s 4:50pm and I’m doing better than yesterday.

I’ve got 446 calories left for dinner.

Man has it been a long day of writing down what I’m eating and making decisions about whether or not to eat them because of how many calories they are…

in other words,

it sucks.

But I’ve found out that I am the quintessential apple shape:

breasts 44

waist 44

hips 44

So what I’ve been feeling is essentially true - I am a giant circle.

What the *&^&?

Oh crap.

A 201 pound ball.

A scary thought no?

But a reality - EVEN WORSE!

But hark!

Before one slips into the dark putrid cesspool of despair - one can save themselves by embarking on the road to wellness and all things slender and GOOD.

That road where the sun is shining, the emerald green grass is silky and cool while sweet songbirds chirp in that powder blue sky.

Yeah, that place.

Where fluffy pale cellulite ridden round gals dare to tread…

You know - that perfect place where salads are exquisite and exercise is orgasmic.

Yes, I started yesterday by walking for 30 minutes and staying at around 1400 calories.

Today I will pop in that yoga video and goof around with the arm weights while keeping it at 1200.

It ain’t easy being cheesy.

I know.

But geez - I’ve also found out that I’m not ‘big boned’ - literally.  I’m a medium frame. 

Now you’d never know under all this fluffy, puffy lumpy goodness.

Oh well.

We all gotta start somewhere.

As I’ve been squeezing into my skirts lately and having a major problem fitting into my jeans - I look forward to getting a little smaller so I could feel more comfortable.

We’re back to starting with 5 pounds.

I am looking forward to abandoning my size 44DD bras that I just bought to accommodate this girth.  I’m also looking forward to fitting into my shapewear bottom that I bought to help contain me…

What can I say?

I’m looking forward to a lot of things.

But I’m putting Project Annie in full effect because I seem to take a backseat to my own life where I’ll lose focus and work on other things rather than my physical self.

So this should be interesting to put myself first before the other crap.

I’m first on the list.

I’m VIP baby!

It’s all sugar and spice and everything nice,

rainbows and ponies

and 

ribbons and sparkly things.

yeah whatever.

it’s hard work.

2pm

I went to see the dental hygienist today.

Hate going to the dentist really - especially to get the cleanings.

They suck.

So she sees me in all my (I’m not going to put makeup today except for sunscreen, powder and fill in the brows) Groucho Marx (mental note, tone down the eyebrows next time) glory,  donned in a t-shirt (baggy), overly tight size 16’s with my hair in a ponytail.

‘My gums are bleeding again.  I guess my hygiene is off.’

‘Are you depressed,’ she asks as she leads me to the chair and bibs me down.

‘Well not any more than usual’ I respond automatically.

Crap.

*chewing inside of cheek*

might as well have shown her 

a pair of my

dirty

drawers.
