Last year I gave up sex for my New Years Resolution. It really wasn't all that hard as I am single and live in the middle of no where any way. Sadly I did not accomplish that goal as you may or may not know. How does one follow up a 51 week in the making failure? I gave up meat.
All meat. Beef, chicken, turkey, pork, bacon (yes, it gets special mention). I have decided to see if I can go a full year. The only thing that didn't get banned is fish. I realise this is borderline cheating, but it's my resolution and I make the rules. With that said, anyone have any ideas how I can keep from eating my own arm?
UNC lost last night. Regular readers of this blog will remember the tourney last year when both Leslie and I really honed our hatred for Gay Wad Douche Bag and the Tar Heels. I have to say that I'm more tickled than usual since all I have heard for the last six weeks is how they are going to run the table, they are unbeatable, how they are just the greatest thing since wonder bread and miracle whip. News flash sports asses, they play they games for a reason. I know the will probably still win the ACC, but, to quote Leslie "I have chicken skin and I may be weepy. I'm going to write a letter.".
Peyton lost, that's always super and now there is a super sweet rumor that Brady may not be back even next year. Could SOMEONE please get Bernard Pollards address so I can hand deliver the thank you note.
As I type this I feel compelled to go back to the meat thing. This isn't for health reasons entirely. If it were for my health, I could start with not smoking like a four alarm fire and not drinking my weight in beer a couple of times a week. It's not health, it's a test of my will. A giant, painful, slightly masochistic form of testing my will power.(I can quit thinking about a cheeseburger).
I have been put in charge of the weight loss challenge at work for this fine new year. As you may remember, last spring I lost 28 pounds. Given how much I eat and how much I like beer I have put about 15 back on and so today we have started the big weight game and I get to keep track of everyone. What's in it for me you ask, well, I'll tell you. It's a cash pot for the winner. Money for the person who loses the highest percentage of weight. I'm poor, I want the money. I want I want I want. I want the abs I had 8 months ago! We'll see.
Amy bought some really sweet Ed Hardy pants, and sadly for her they didn't fit. She bought them on Ebay I think and couldn't return them. For once in my life the fact that I am three inches shorter than her but two inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than Leslie really paid off. The pants would have totally fallen off of Leslie, so I got them and they are fabulous and I live in pants at home, Big shout out to Amy for being taller than I am!

My sister and I got in opposite directions where weight is concerned, and body types. I've always been thin with fantastic shoulders. She had narrow little feminine shoulders but wide hips where my hips are narrow. She is rich. I'm poor. She's losing weight and I'm inheriting all these name brand clothes that look totally STUPID on me.
If that is a KCC challenge and it goes for any extended amount of time then you will automatically win because everyone involved will probably be fired or quit in the next six months. It's like taking candy from a baby!
I am giving up resolutions for the new year.
As for the no meat thing, Rick and I did that for a year once. I told him the number one foremost iron-clad rule about it was that he was never allowed to mention it to someone who was serving us a meal, as in, "Oh, I am a vegetarian and I can't eat that." He had to be like the Buddha himself who did not choose to eat meat but would eat whatever a peasant fed him. Maybe I made that up.
Anyway. We had lots of potato tacos, which were quite yummy. You aren't giving up cheese, are you?
If you're giving up meat, does that mean you're a lesbian now?
I hate UNC. But, sadly, I hate BC even more.
Sigh.....

I just found a recipe for my eating healthier on no money plan (BLECH!!!) and it seems fore ordained that I at least share the link with you. http://www.diabeticlivingonline.com/recipe/salads/salsa-black-bean-and-rice-salad/ I know diabetic? Oh well it looks really good to me. I did the vegetarian thing once and really didn't mind too much until I saw someone else eating a burger. More power to you if you can do it tho cuz you're braver than I am. Especially living in the home of the world's best barbecue.
