Stuff I Plan To Do In June

So I've decided to be more productive for the rest of the year, and I will accomplish this by making lists of things I'm going to do, and then doing half the things on the list and then mentally berating myself for being such an underachiever. Let's start with:

1. Read a life-changing book and let it change my life.


2. Start re-learning to play the piano.


3. Plan and execute a garage sale with the kids.


4. Make a pair of jeans that fit me.


5. Upgrade my computer.


6. Take all of the 'donate' items leftover from the gararge sale somewhere, and DONATE them.


7. Go to open mic night at Hugo House and read something, out loud, to the crowd.


8. Try to get something published.


9. Clean both bathrooms, top to bottom, including the corners.


10. Lose 10 pounds.

Ok, that should be enough for one month. Or completely impossible to accomplish in ten. Updates will follow.

What I Ate Today

I got up this morning and exercised. I think I've remembered why I want to be beautiful again. By this time next year I want to be able to wear a bikini. That girl in the pictures had a lot of fun, dammit! And people were always buying her drinks, and asking her to dance at the clubs. So I just have to find her again.

1. 3/4 of a slice of french toast with syrup
2. One piece of bacon
3. An ice cream sandwich
4. Some fruit, two chicken drummettes, a mini-burger, and some veggies.
5. Glass of punch
6. Piece of cake

It seems like there was something else, but maybe I'm just thinking that because I went to get some soup and ended up with ice cream. Damn you, ice cream!

I guess I'll have to get up early and exercise. I want to do my step tapes but I don't want to be watched. It's so annoying that the boyfriend chooses to sleep in the living room. When he chooses to sleep.

What I Ate Today

I'm starting to remember why I didn't eat, when I didn't eat. Is that a good thing, or the path to hell? I don't know, and I'm not sure I care. I just want to lose weight so I can eat chocolate when I'm seventy. And so that one day I'll actually BE seventy.

1. Oatmeal with raisins.
2. Sunflower seeds
3. Salad with spinach, beets, tuna, sunflower seeds and blue cheese.
4. Green tea candy (actually this was yesterday, but I'm too lazy to go back).

What I Ate Today

I've been reading about the fruit diet. I couldn't live on fruit. There's no bread in it. I do think I could live on bread. Well at least until my teeth start falling out.

1. Oatmeal with raisins.
2. Orange juice
3. Half a steak and cheese panini
4. Salad with spinach, beets, sunflower seeds and blue cheese
5. Pint of skim milk
6. Sunflower seeds (don't even mention it).
7. Three fairly small pieces of pizza.
8. Some random bread
9. Four pecan sandies
10. Did I have a pear? Maybe a pear. I thought about it.

What I Did While I Was Not Posting

So where did the time go??? I am doing badly with writing down what I eat, but I will just start again, because this time I am committed to the process of losing weight and I AM NOT A QUITTER, DAMMIT! Anyway, what was I doing instead of blogging for the last twelve days? Here are the highlights, in no particular order:

1. Eating too much.
   
2. Taking my mom to a concert for Mother's Day.
   
3. Going to an awesome show at Circus Contraption which was totally awesome. Did I mention it was awesome?
   
4. Watching too much TV.
   
5. Reading Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer for the dozenth time.
   
6. Forgetting to water my plants.
   
7. Admiring this blog which is what my blog wants to be when it grows up.
   
8. Bailing my kid out of jail.
   
9. Hanging out at the U-District Street Fair.
   
10. Listening to Corinne Bailey Rae, Amy Winehouse and similar musical talents on Pandora.
    
11. Learning about goats.
    
12. Trying to decide whether or not to buy Master Your Metabolism and developing a platonic crush on Jillian Michaels.
    
13. Reminicing about when I was anorexic.
    
14. Taking a cooking class at Cooksworld, an amazingly excellent cooking school.
    
15. Staying up all night arguing with the boyfriend about whether we should end it.
    
16. Forgetting to take my anti-crazy pills, and slowly going crazy.
    

Life happens. Whether you want it to or not. Happy Belated Mother's Day.

What I Ate Today

- Insert witty repartee here -

1. Banana
   
2. One piece of french toast
   
3. One piece of bacon
   
4. Four or five of Eileen's tater tots (She made me!)
   
5. Orange juice
   

Editorial Comment: I'm sure there was more than this, but you know I can't find the written list so the contents of my stomach on May 7th is lost to history. I know, just get a hankie and let it out.

What I Ate Today

My diet is an ever-changing sea of emotional conflict. Or a nutrional mess. I think tomorrow I will try to cram in a week's worth of fruit and vegetable servings. Or maybe Saturday.

1. Banana (Banana who?)
   
2. Sesame bagel with hummus and tomato
   
3. Curry noodle salad with water chestnuts
   
4. Steamed Broccoli (with a few carrot shavings for color)
   
5. Skim milk
   
6. Peanut Butter Cookie
   
7. Chocolate Chip Cookie
   
8. A piece of chicken pizza
   
9. 3 pieces of cheese pizza (Hey, they were small pieces!)
   

Today was a surprisingly light food day. If the evil cookie gods had not set down an enormous plate of cookies in front of my desk, I would have done pretty good. Except for the too much pizza and not enough vegetables. Don't judge me.
