Hi Lizzo...
GREAT post!!! Your positive attitude and desire to win are very welcome here!!! Love what you had to say, and you really have a way with words. Your exuberance comes through in your writing!
I have a mom with issues too. She is ALWAYS commenting on my weight...but she is overweight too. Go figure. I had on sweats the other day, cause ALL us fat people wear sweats!!! (no constricting waist band when you eat!!
) Anyway, she looks at me and says, "When you're as fat as you are, you really shouldn't wear sweatpants." So my cattiness got the best of me and I said, "Well, Mom, when you have nothing pleasant to say, you shouldn't open your mouth."
She looked at me and I looked at her and we both started laughing...so I guess I am at the point now where I can take what she says with a grain of salt. I know why I was REALLY wearing those sweats. I like feeling them getting looser.
Lizzo, like you, I haven't been doing this too long...a little over 3 weeks for me and I am one year older than you, and I would kill to jump on the scale and have it say 190 tomorrow!!! BUT...I will get there in my own time. I did this to myself, now I can work hard to get it off. What is it they say? I did the crime, now I can do the time? LOL
Well, on a positive note, Michael Skakel was found guilty of the murder of Martha Moxley today. For those of you that aren't familiar with him. He is a scumbag who just happens to be related to the Kennedys. He also murdered Martha in 1975 when she was only 15 and they never convicted him. Now he is 41 and they actually found him guilty. I was thrilled to see his smug little face looking all surprised when they announced the verdict.
Ok, that is my dirty little secret. I LOVE court TV and Law and Order, and Forensic Files and all those true crime shows.
I just get all up in arms about those things.
Well, before my blood pressure shoots up, I had better hit the hay. I did get my walk in tonight and I feel it. Shins are hollering at me. (they are saying things that would make a sailor blush)
Nighty Night girls. Tomorrow morning is weigh in for me. I dread it since I had my Chinese and that family potluck thing this week.
I'll post the news in the morning, good or bad.
