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.
You crack me up. Nope I don’t think you’re a giant circle. But you are funny. I will give you that one. Basically my Dr. was saying eat rice or beans - preferably the beans. Eat pasta but not bread. Yada Yada bore me to death with her size 6 on a fat day body. But I don’t want to be on meds and I am a confessed carboholic I will curb my tendencies. Since our birthdays are both in October I think that is a fabulous month to hit our goals.
I am glad you are putting yourself first. So am I. It’s going to get crowded at the front. LOL But we have to do this. Ugh, last time I checked, I wasn’t getting any younger.
Good job on the walking. Now I have to get my LAZY butt up. I can’t have you walking alone. Shit.
Have sweet dreams and a wonderful Monday.
Hugs
A circle…LOL…..I wish I was a circle, I am a…ummm??
Well lets see, my a** is so HUGE, but I have a small waist and no boobs…
I AM A BUTTERNUT SQUASH!
Annie, I think I’m an apple too! Or maybe an upside down pear! Short, strong, heavy bones. Born to work the farm….
It’s good you’ve thought about putting yourself first. Not a bad idea at all!
Just think, we’re all just a bunch of walking fruit and vegetables!
Hmmmm. I think I am a rectangle. A verticle rectangle. I don’t measure. I don’t weigh. See? That’s what keeps me from being unhappy. I feel strongly that what you can’t see/don’t know can’t hurt you. I NEVER, ever look at myself rear-view. I have a square a$$. It could potentially be very disheartening. You’re actually not a circle, Annie - more of a verticle oval, wouldn’t you say? Ovals are very pleasing shapes. That’s what my DH says and he is an artist, remember. He knows these things.
Hugs,
