So recently, I gave a recap of some of the things that have gone on over the last 10 months or so. No real detail, just a small taste of some of the noteworthy events that I could remember. To be honest, it pisses me off that I forget so much of it, which I guess is a reason I need to get on here and type my thoughts and experiences more often. Fair warning, this blog won't be all about the kids, although you can expect that there will be some hefty doses of kid stories since they make up the majority of my life. But when it's not about the kids, perhaps you will see the more personal side of me(some would consider it secretive since I am not very forth coming of my personal life). Either way, enjoy and in some cases, beware...
So, what's on my mind? I will tell you one thing that has become a peeve of mine. It is people saying "you are too skinny." Ladies and gentlemen, this is an insult similar to "you are too fat/you are too ugly/you are too stupid" and so on. And from now on, I just may make that my response when somebody decides to share that "compliment" with me. If you are offended, I will throw you a packet of salt and you can take a few grains out and move on. My point is, if you want to share a compliment, go for it. If you want to be a hater, be ready to be hated back. :)
For me personally, weight is one of those things that is always on my mind, and admittedly, that bugs the hell out of me. Growing up a fat kid does that to you. Getting teased as a fat kid does that to you. Hell, even when I recently weighed in at 193, there was no way in hell you were getting me poolside without a shirt...and I had a six pack for hell's sake. I guess this is one of my demons and I just don't have the time or energy to exorcise that bitch right now (not related to exercise, which sometimes I also don't have the energy or time to do). Anyway, I don't really mind being that "Firework" that hasn't quite ignited the light. I guess time will tell that tale now won't it.
I had briefly talked about how I had lost around 64 lbs since October (123 since my all time high weight a couple of years ago). It was no secret I did this last round on the HCG diet, which I think is a good thing if you are ready to do it. If you are not ready, it is the cruelest bitch in the world and it will feel like she is an evil ex-wife taking you for all you are worth. (Thankfully I have not experienced that in my life, but I have heard some horror stories which is why I feel comfortably making the comparison). Anyway, right now, the weight seems to teeter-totter back and forth between 195 and 210, which is a pretty natural weight swing for me based on what I eat at any given time. This weekend we pigged out, so the next couple of days I will eat some apples and then move on to some protein. It's not a horrible cycle. And there was no way I could have stuck to my old diet routine I have had over the last several months...not with Annie starting her new hobby of baking. Perhaps if she was a shitty baker it would work out, but she has yet to disappoint. Atta girl! That being said, I am sure I will do this diet again one day, just to slim back down...perhaps at a time I feel like having a six pack again. Until then, I at least want to wish those of you still on the diet the best of luck. It definitely works when you do it right. Now I am off to eat some alfredo, followed by some red velvet cake, a banana split with cookie dough ice cream and some candy as we sit down and watch a movie.
Have a good night....
