Week 1

Well, this is the end of week 1 and disappointingly, I suck at it so far:) I have worked out three times, but I managed to workout Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and have done NOTHING since then. And do you think I have eaten better? Of course not! In fact, I am so depressed because somehow I spent a whopping $175 at Food Lion!! How does that happen??? I got an N&O today to clip coupons, but I don't need 75cents off of Colgate, I need $3 off of porkchops!

My resting heart rate has been different every day I have woken up. It is supposed to go down at the end of the semester, after it gets in better shape-sheesh!! I will be the first person I know to not get an A in PE!! Holy crap! There goes the Dean's List, ha!

Oh, let me back up.........so....I spent HOURS last Sunday watching four lectures and taking notes because, yes, there is a midterm and final and I wanted to get ahead. Well..........sigh.........I took them for the wrong class-the Williams jinx has struck again! The link took me to the Step aerobics class-ugh! Oh well, maybe some of the material crosses over? But I was so mad that I did not sleep well at all that night! And then there was the one night this week that I went to bed at 4:30am!!!! And then I woke up Saturday at 4:15am-what is wrong with me, good Lord! It's really sad when I hope to get sick so I can just have a day off to myself. That's one thing I can say, aside from allergies, I have an impeccable immune system-I never get sick.

Well, I have not had ice cream in forever-that's a plus-although who wants it when it's cold? And I have cut waaayyyy back on the beer, and alcohol altogether for that matter. fine, dandy even, but when will I get the urge to lay off of the freaking Doritos and Diet Pepsi? Omigawd, let me share something with you (told you I would be honest!) you will not believe what I ate Thursday night. Are you ready for this? We had a frozen pizza-Freschetta maybe? Anyway, so that meant each of us got one slice-what was I thinking? Well, that was just not going to be nearly enough. Unfortunately, since I had not spent that unGodly amount of $150 yet, there was nothing in the cupboard-the choices were slim, but I had to eat something with it. Well, as a lover of fries with ice cream, I wanted something sweet to compliment the pizza sauce. So...I thought about cereal, but alas......I ate waffles with syrup. Did I eat them separately? What do you think? Buddy the Elf would have had an Oprah lightbulb moment, as if his distant sister was having her Bar-Mitzvah. Tears would have streamed down his face as I grunted through my meal and swung my fork back and forth between waffles drowned in syrup and pizza, all washed down with, what else, but a Diet Pepsi, just for effect.

Yep, dieting is not in my future! I keep reading Dr. Oz, but until he comes to my house, or Nate Berkus....oh wait, that's another blog, (why are all the cute ones uninterested in women?)....digress....until Dr.Oz comes to my house and throws my pantry out of the front door, it jsut isn't happening. You would think that when I can (honest to God) rest something on my "shelf" or have a "moment" like finding a crumb in a damn fat fold, that I would throw my hands in the air and say "THAT's IT!" No, I throw my hands in the air, to open the cabinet doors and decide what to gobble down next.

OH AND..........I cannot do ONE SINGLE PUSH-UP, not ONE!!!!!! Even the modified (which, she says are harder-HOW?) I think they are easier, but I have to touch my nose to the floor for the push-up to count. If I iddn' thave to do that, I might be able to do three. But once my nose hits, I can't get back up. Should I just tell her to put down a zero? Are the other 49 people going to laugh at me, or yell "Wow, go, go , go grandma!" as I huff, puff and fall down to the floor!! My test is Saturday. I am dreading the day already. I am afraid my "partners" might want to cheat and you know me, honest abe! What I mean is, they might want me to put down they did 20, when I know they did five! Oh well. I guess I will look for another old fart in the class, if there is one. Ugh, will this be nothing but in shape twenty-somethings? I thought DE classes were for people like me, lol!

Okay, on to the kitchen-the Reese's are gone, but I need a Diet Pepsi refill. Tonight might be a Unisom night too!
