Yeah Right….
Have you all seen that new commercial by Pizza Hut? It has a basketball team that talks about getting the limited-time only Big Italy pizza and the team not being able to knock that whole pizza back. Really? That’s funny because we bought one tonight and there were only 3 of us and we ate the whole thing. Yes, you read that right. We ate the whole thing.
The WHOLE pizza. That pizza isn’t that, we’ve ordered 2 larges and had them take up more space on the table than that pizza did. I mean, really, I swear I’ve seen Marc Jacobs handbags that are bigger than that pizza is. I just can’t believe that Pizza Hut advertises that pizza as being such a huge pizza or such a big deal – because really, it isn’t.
Sorry Pizza Hut – the pizza was good – but it’s not even close to being as big as you guys swear it is. 
Busy Days Drive Me Nuts
I will have to admit, I am not one who likes to be a busy busy bee. I prefer to have a more or less laid back day. I don’t mind having things to do, I just hate to have to run around like a chicken without a head all day long. Unfortunately, tomorrow is one of those days where I have more to do than I care to.
Let’s see here – we have to get up and go to the bank and then go check on a couple of things. Then we have to run and pay the house taxes, then pick up some yarn, get something to eat, go to church and put the songs in the computer, go to Bible study, and then finish up the bulletin. Yeah, that’s a lot to have to do.
But Friday is going to be so sweet. It’s BFL’s mom’s birthday and we’re going to Olive Garden for dinner. 
From what we can tell, that never ending pasta bowl is back at Olive Garden – so that’s what me and BFL are going to get. We love that thing. I love it because I can choose from at least two different alfredo sauces. BFL loves it because it’s never ending. I just can’t wait…. yum!
What Is The Big Deal
Have you ever noticed that every time you turn around, there is some article in a magazine, or story on the news or radio that tells you that a product isn’t good for you to wear/eat/use? I mean, seriously, what is up with that?
One of the most recent articles/stories I heard about was about how bad for your feet ugg boots are. Ok, I’m sorry, but I’ve had more doctors tell me to wear them for the issues with me feet and back than I have tell me not to wear them. I haven’t had a single doctor tell me that the boots are bad for my feet or back. This is precisely why I don’t always listen to these articles – because sometimes their “findings” aren’t in keeping with what I’ve been told by my doctors.
It’s just like saying that high fructose corn syrup isn’t the cause of obesity. Ok…some people see a connection between HFCS and obesity, some don’t. It doesn’t mean that it is or isn’t bad.
I’m not saying that ugg boots are bad. I’m not saying for certain that high fructose corn syrup is bad. What I’m saying is that each person needs to form their own opinions. Some people can wear ugg boots with no problems. Some can’t. Some people can eat huge amounts of any type of sugar, HFCS or regular sugar, and not gain weight, others can’t. That’s just the way it is.
And We’re Walking….
Well, at very least we were walking until the weather couldn’t make up it’s mind. One minute it’s hotter than heck here. Next thing you know, it’s windy enough to turn your dog into a “puppy kite.” Then it’s raining or threatening to rain. The past couple of nights have been freezing cold.
How do you keep walking when your only walking option is outside? Well, it’s not. If you have one of those Leslie Sansone DVDs. I used to have one and a magazine article I found the other day that talked about them made me miss that DVD. I used to stand in my living room and walk in place (more like marching in place really) and let me tell you – in 30 minutes I’d be sweating and my heart rate would be up. It was great exercise.
I’ve been thinking about that DVD a lot lately. I’m thinking of getting another copy of that DVD. Maybe then I can ramp up my weight loss.
Illusions
I’m not too much into illusions. I don’t like giving people the idea that I am something I am not. Like this guy at church that I like. (Yes, I’m 34, and yes I’m saying this guy at church I like, don’t laugh.) I’ve had some suggestions that I should try making him think I’m losing weight faster than I really am. I asked how I was supposed to do that, and one of my friends suggested I buy some corsets and use them to slim myself down. I gave her a funny look, because last time I saw a corset, it was in the lingerie department and it wouldn’t have made me look any slimmer!
Another friend told me to get those Spanx, but really, I don’t like the idea of making someone think that I’m losing weight faster than I am. I might be on a diet and I might be trying to lose weight, but I don’t want to make someone think I’ve lost more than I have – if you know what I mean! I don’t want to give an illusion to someone of what I look like or what I’m like and then have them find out I’m really faking it. That just won’t do for me.
I like people to know me for who I am. I don’t want people to think that I’m something I’m not. Because that never leads to anything good.
