Halfway to 100

It has been 50 days! Day 49 went without an entry because I worked till 10p last night and if I am to get up at the 6am my exercise requires, 10p is bed time.  Yesterday I spent at least half the day in my car. I love to drive but I tend to have bad habits when I travel by myself. Usually I eat breakfast at home, get on the road and then don't eat again until the ride home when I am so hungry that I cave to having a progress killing fast food meal.

Yesterday was different though.  Yesterday, I was prepared. I brought a couple of apples, some pita chips, bing cherries, and dried cranberries. I kept eating through my trip when I felt a little hungry and it lasted me all the way down. On the way back I had drank all my bottles of water so I stopped for a sandwich and a cold water for the way home. I picked a little on the way back and never even considered stopping for a progress killer supreme with cheese. This is one of the best things I could have done for myself.

I think that I have learned a lot in the last 50 days. I have lost 14lbs and haven't reversed even though my ankle wasn't doing me any favors. In the last 50 days I have only had fried food on 3 occasions, two of which were sweet potato fries that at least have beta-carotene. The other was an egg roll that is at least stuffed with shredded veggies.  I had been having something like that at least once or twice per week. For a while it was even more than that.

In the next 50 days I hope to make my ankle stronger than before and lose another 14lbs.  I also want to laugh more enjoy early fall and the leaves changing. I want to cook more and start building a cookbook. I want to share more on Pinterest and I want to share cool stories, pictures, videos and anything else that might bring a smile to someones face if they are kind enough to read my ramblings. Thank you to all that do. It still means the world to me and I appreciate your time.

For tonight's entertainbit I wanted to share some of these photos that cracked me up like a butt:

I have come to learn from doing this blog that I don't do stress well. When I'm stressed I'm not myself and I'm pretty miserable to be around. Yesterday, with a research paper staring me down, I let myself get worked up and stress got the better of me. On my last day of a wonderful 3 day weekend, I was... well... a shrew. I don't think I'm alone though. I think we all have our moments that we look back on and feel a deep shame for being so absolutely ridiculous. Certainly sometimes it is warranted but, for me, when I get like that I'm usually being pretty absurd.... like "How come you're not reading my mind and just do what I think you should be doing?!" I should also note that I'm one of those people that when I'm all pissy I can't help but slam things around. Anything I touch, I touch with force. I'm not proud of that but I can't seem to help myself. Luckily for me, the love of my life has the patience of a saint. In m

If it Weren't for Those Meddling Carbs...

If I am not writing, I am probably busy eating something that would make Shaggy and Scooby jealous... Not writing makes it easier to ignore that I am not living up to a commitment that I've made to myself. Writing reminds me how often I have taught others how to treat me by how I treat myself. Writing exposes me to exactly how uncomfortable I am when I am vulnerable. Vulnerability is why I eat like cartoon characters and pretend I won't gain weight like a human being.  I am certain that I am not unique in this dance with vulnerability. The world is a briar patch full of thorny shit and long ago we humans learned how to armor up to protect ourselves from being stuck around every corner. When we are kids, fresh into this chronologically excursion through the pricklies, we are just trying to figure out the world, it doesn't take an immense amount of brains to realize that getting poked hurts, hurting sucks, and protecting yourself from getting poked means you will hurt less.

Weight Loss Myths

Daylight savings time has actually had a pretty positive effect on my workouts. My inner clock is still set to wake up happy between 6:30- 6:45a except the actual time now is 5:30-5:45a. I  don't feel groggy or like I'm missing out on any sleep AND it is light out earlier so I don't get intimidated by the darkness and use it as an excuse to go back to bed. When I wake up earlier I feel better about the workout. It makes me feel like I'm one of those fitness bad asses that actually enjoy waking up early to workout. I feel like I set myself up for more productivity when I've already been up and worked out before I get to work. The one downside is that the "fall back" happens in November when it gets super cold in the mornings. This morning I woke up and enjoyed all of the aforementioned things and then I stepped out onto the porch and felt how cold it was. I pushed through and did some running just to warm up! When I finished my walk I was chilled but comf
