10 pounds down 32 pounds to go!

"I just figured you'd be terrified, and I would be sarcastic about it."

do you ever look at your statcounter and think "wow, i'm so much more interesting when i'm not around."? i almost didn't show up today. i'm feeling of the grouchy and i was going to save you that...and then i didn't. sorry. my bad. i'm surrounded by stuff i'm not all that interested in doing. mostly work. work and snacks. i've been snacking like a mo-fo, not that it seems to have effected anything. still 169. maybe the act of reaching into the good'n plenty bag burns of the calories.

i'm eating my movie snacks a little late, more out of nostalgia than actual want. we're usually snackless at the movies because we're cheap bastards, although sometimes that means we just sneak something in. this weekend i snuck some bottled water for the harry potter movie. some for each of us as i didn't end up going alone. i felt like my purse looked suspiciously heavy. i'm always waiting for the smackdown when i do stuff like that. like cutting the tags off the mattress really puts the cartoon sheep in jail like in the commercial. it's not like contraband water is anything to worry about. a sack full of 100 grand bars would be so much more embarrassing. and now all i can think about is 100 grand bars. it's so been that kind of week. think, eat, feel ill.

it's supposed to be like that actually, this is hold on tight week, but i sort of felt diety this morning. like get yer skinny on should start early. and then i bought a giant bag of good'n plenty. oooh, and then i made a wisdom tooth pulling appointment. it's for next week because something that fun just shouldn't wait. and if i made it later in the summer i'd have convinced myself to move to guatemala first. i realllllly don't want this tooth pulled out. the anxiety, it's multiplying exponentially. and...i just realized that's smack in the middle of get your skinny on week. remember how i said something would go wrong there...i must be psychic.

the good thing with the tooth is that if all goes well it's going to cost about a tenth of what i had planned for. which i should be happy about, except i arranged things for a higher cost and now it's sort of weird. the money is now stuck in the teeth and eyeglasses fund. more eyeglasses, whooo. but i really didn't need to put so much money there when i could use it here, there and everywhere. how will i spend all my time when i don't have money to worry about?

what's get your skinny on week? sounds fun!!

good luck with your tooth. I hope it goes well and you recover quickly.

i had this idea last week to do two weeks low carb "dieting" and two weeks of maintaining. i was thinking of moving it up a bit, but i'm over it and now it's all out of sync with getting my tooth done. maybe i'll be too grumpy to eat and it'll still be a diet week....err.

100 grand? For some reason that makes me want a Take 5.

Good luck with the the tooth. Has it broken through or is it still under the skin?

If you need some inspiration, just pay pastaqueen a visit. She's got it right about not kicking yourself when you don't eat right. You've come so far!
