** The Road to Slim City **

One girl's journey to finding herself, losing weight, getting healthy, and living life... one shenanigan at a time.
100+ lbs lost ..... 30 more to go. Welcome to my world.

So the rest of yesterday the eating was on point.  Treated myself to my favorite sushi summer wraps (lettuce, avocado, cucumber, carrot, shrimp, and crab wrapped in a thin translucent rice wrapper.)  For dinner, had a healthy turkey wheat tortilla dinner with a small dollop of cream cheese.  Yesterday’s exercise looked like this pic (sans the super hot army guys..lol.)  Torrential rains across the state got dangerously close to a friend’s house…. soooo still not feeling so hot, I got out in the rain and sandbagged the hell outta that mutha.  My arms hurt like hell today.

Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh

DaVinci’s Notebook: Enormous

I heard this song on Bob and Tom when I was 20 and 10 years later I still giggle like a school girl every time I hear it.  If you need a little chuckle, you should give it a listen.

Cinco De No Dieto.

So Yes, I went home and ran… and Yes, I stayed on track with all my eating and Yes, I went over my calories AGAIN.  sigh. 

I stopped at my BFF’s house and brought her a little care package for Cinco De Mayo  (Margarita mix, Jose Cuervo, limes, a small bottle of Grand Marnier, and a sombrero. lol)  She had been feeling a little down and I knew my surprise would perk her right up. 

Why oh WHY didnt I realize that she would absolutely want me to stay and drink with her?  Hell, I dont know… but honestly no wasnt even an option.  I had 3 of the yummiest Margaritas eva!!!  and danced around the garage with her and  her sombrero. Really fun. 

Im gonna guesstimate that they each had bout 200 cals each.  Sooo technically, I only went over by 220 calories? (1420)  I wont be making epic weight loss progress doing that, but come on?  making your best girly feel better?  Yeah, every once in awhile, some things are just worth it.  

Hope everyone’s Cinco De Mayo was fantabulous!

Poison:  Every Rose Has Its Thorn

So embarrassing.  This is the ONLY song I can play on guitar right now.  (Im taking lessons.)  Yes, Yes… I know.  Try to keep the laughing and pointing to a minimum.

♫ AND IIIIIIIIIII… WILL ALWAYS LOOOOVE YOOOOOU…OHHH ♫

NOTE TO CO-WORKER: 

I am a singer, so i completely understand the inclination to want to belt out the  random musical ditty that you may have stuck in your head… But for the sake of your fellow employees, could you please NOT do it while in the bathroom stall at work?  Its weird and awkward for the rest of us just trying to take a piss. 

Thanks,

M.
