So good news! A show I have been working with the last 3 years has been invited to perform in Dublin! Ireland here I come. I celebrated tonight, but not like I would have in the past (ya know, bucket of beer, bucket of fried, trough of ranch...)
Tomorrow is my off day. It will be the real test for me. Usually on my days off I spend 63% of my time standing in front of the pantry, 7% in front of the fridge, and the other 30% on the couch watching TV. I snack in the bad way of snacking so much you go into Snack Amnesia and you forget about the 1100 calories you ate before 1:00 because it was composed of tortilla chips, spoonfulls of peanut butter, and chocolate found at the bottom of my bag (who knows how long it's been there, and more importantly...who cares!). Then I usually find my "big meal": something from a bag of some sort (freezer? ramen?MCD's?) and then around 7:30 I decide it's time to eat something "healthy" a salad composed of lettuce and ranch with a side (or main) of spagetti with tomato sauce and butter. GOD I was SO unhealthy! YOU HEAR ME! I am admitting it!!!! I was a horrible fatty fat eater and I was in DENIAL!!! Well NO MORE! Tomorrow will be a healthy day off. A magical miraculous day where I don't use food as a companion or boredom buddy. I can do this!

Monday's Mantra: My kitchen is not an all you can eat buffet. My kitchen is not an all you can eat buffet. My kitchen is not....
Oh BB you are my hero. I seriously am rooting for you every day. Michael and I have read all episodes of Fat Girl Slim and are NOT eating or drinking any more for you tonight. Much love...here's to Monday.
ReplyDeleteDublin?!!! How freakin' cool! I'll be thinking of you while I'm coaxing my two year old to go "pee pee in the potty" 100 times a day!! I'm so jealous! Good luck tomorrow! If all else fails - get out of the house! That may work better than trying to forget you have a pantry... ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Megan! That's awesome! You inspired me to work my fat butt yesterday and I've decided the devil designed lunges. The good lord would not want my inner and outer thighs and uh hum...glutes to hurt this bad. Seriously. I've vowed to exercise - without drinking beer at the same time for at least 3 times a week for 45 minutes. Sorry, that's the best I can do for now, but I'll keep trying to follow your lead and be better. :]
