Weight Watchers

April 18th, 2008

I have started a diet for the first time in my life. Do you know how odd I am to be a 26-year-old woman on a diet for the first time? I’m surprised I haven’t been locked up in a museum.

I ave a few friends who are doing Weight Watchers and what they’ve told me about the program sounds good, so I signed up on Monday. I weighed in (eek!), sat down, and had a listen. I’m doing this with one of my friends, so we are going to be egging each other on.

My goal is to lose 75 pounds in the next year. Since this is going to be a big focus in my life, it may spill over into my blog. If you don’t like it, um…nyeah to you.

I’m considering putting up a little tracker thingy that I can update every week. What do you think? Does anyone have any good recipes or workout tips for me? If you have any diet tips/stories/whatever that you want to tell me and don’t want to say it in the comments for privacy reasons, email christy at angelchrys dot com.

My super-important question is: Do you know of any good diet sodas? Fresca is good, but I can’t drink it all the time. Diet Pepsi tastes like ass and I just tried some funky flavored diet Dr. Pepper that was so gross I trashed it after three swallows.

Oddments

March 10th, 2008

Let’s see…I have no one thing of real interest, so I will bombard you with bits of information, instead.

You’re excited, I can tell!

I have gone on a dishcloth knitting spree. Given one away, setting another aside for giveaway, have yet another that I need to decide if it’s leaving or staying. To support this habit, I used a $15 gift card I got for Christmas to purchase seven balls of dishcloth cotton. Pink, orange, yellow, bright green, teal, purple and red.

I got salted caramels while at Whole Foods the other day. I am now trying to convince myself that I do not need to go back to get more. I also got real veggies and other assorted goodies.

While wandering about the internet the other day, I came across a thread on a forum where a guy was talking about what a hellhole his mother’s house was because she is a hoarder. Now, I know that I have tendencies in that direction, so I try to get decluttering help. The thread weirded me out so much that I did some decluttering without supervision. I now have about half the amount of makeup I did before and have found a home for my various medicines.

Spaz is the devil. You already knew this, but I just feel that there’s no reason not to say this with every post.

My local comic book store irritates me. They closed early yesterday, weren’t open today and when I am finally able to be there when they are open, they probably won’t have what I want. As a result, I turned to eBay the other day.

In related news, I have about a zillion bento items on my watchlist. Bento lunches look like fun and could be a good way to help me lose some weight. Portion control is a wonderful thing! I’d really like a Mr. Bento but those are expensive!

I have a bruise on my arm and I don’t know why. Hmph.

So…any topic suggestions? What would you like to see me ramble on about?
