Man, keeping up a blog is hard and challenging work. I have thoughts throughout the day that I think, "oh, I'll write about that" but given that I work in an office environment with folks who have no sense of privacy when they walk up to my computer, I keep those thoughts to myself and think about writing here later. Then, I get home and I watch TV while sitting on my ass and now, here it is, three months later with nary a post.
First of all, how MUCH do I love Ellen Degeneres? She's amazing. Her show is never mean spirited, it's always fun and I am so thrilled that she is doing a daily show. I can not believe that I am living in a time wherein an Out and Proud Lesbian is on her own daytime talk show and that she hosted the Academy Awards. I never thought I'd see these days.
Second of all, The CLASS OF 80 ROCKS! Rosie O'Donnell is so, so enjoyable that I am watching The View religiously. We're the same age and have so, so much in common and she really speaks The Truth in a way that pleases me mightily.
I stepped on my scales in January and was absolutely appalled to see the numbers on the digital readout --- in the order in which they were displayed. I was only 27 pounds from 200 and I'm only 5'5". I moped and continued my wicked ways until Lent when I decided to give up adult beverages for a six week period of time to see if that could keep my hands out of the pantry. I drink, I munch, I gain weight. It's simple, really.
I started walking on our ProForm treadmill on March 19th and have walked 30-60 minutes almost every day since and I am starting to see slight progress. I am down nine pounds from my all time high. It's slow progress but I can not continue my life along the path it was going so I'm happy I've been able to toe the line.
All for now,
Amelia
