So.
Right. It’s been a while.
There’s been a wedding. There’s been Vegas. There’s been Philly. And there’s been a zillion and one happy hours in between.
I’m doing my best to stick with the work out thing, but summer? Is not my amigo.
In fact, summer is kicking my ass, with its shiny margaritas and sunny drinking patios and oopy-schmoopy HAPPINESS and BABY PUPPIES and UNICORNS everywhere.
(One of those may not be true.)
But I am trying. I am fighting. I am battling each day to eat another vegetable, walk another mile, drink a glass less of wine.
The thing is, I have this new super powerful motivation to Actually, No Really This Time, No Fucking Around get in shape. Like, or else. (And the camera adds HOW many pounds?? Fuck me!)
Anyhoo, my point is, it’s for real this time. No more using “moderation” as an excuse to eat a cheeseburger, even with a side salad. No more bargaining with myself and justifying fried crap because it’s half price at happy hour. No more liquid lunches just because it’s gorgeous out. No more queso dip just because it’s Cinco de Mayo and our neighborhood bartender shoves it in our faces.
Okay, maybe forget that last one. I don’t want to be rude, after all.

The heat usually kills my appetite. But not this summer. Go figure. :p

@Hope, I know! I’m all “bring on the margs” and it needs to stop!

it isn’t the camera adding the pounds…it’s carrying around those unicorns. i mean really…they’re all bulky and that horn sticking out and they just make your hips look wider.
tip my brother taught me: always drink a FULL glass of water before you drink/eat and then you’ll naturally eat less. this works well with drinking especially so you’re already well hydrated and less risk of a hang over. i mean…it fills you up so you’ll drink less. that’s the more responsible thing to say.
also: summer: WATERMELON. it’s the non-vomitous version of celery. and just think of all the tasty spodie…i mean fresh fruit that you can have during the upcoming summer months!
