I'm Bored

I’m not really sure what has really kept me away from blogging, but hopefully I’m back (probably not since I composed this way back in January 25!!) I’ve composed today’s blog about 30 times today, but honestly they were all just me examining life - mine to be exact. I think my first blog explained it all. This blog is for me! I need it. To “sort myself out” as my BFF likes to say.

The bottom line is...I’m just plain bored. The truth is we have a TV. Now understandably, we’ve had TVs in the past, but this is the first time we’ve had one permanently seated in our living room in our house of 10 years. We even bought a TV stand for it at IKEA! (One must visit IKEA once a year to buy something, unfortunately I had already made my annual visit a week earlier so sh’ant have bought it).

Now the reason I blame my boredom on my TV is that it has made me into a couch potato. I’m not joking, I'm being unbelievably honest. I caught sight of myself in my full length mirror last night and got really grossed out! So, today I bought a mocha, had a coke, ate pizza (homemade, of course), made cupcakes (ate three, albeit they were mini), and am currently sitting on the couch drinking a beer! Say it with me "c-o-u-c-h   p-o-t-a-t-o". (Here's my view).

I don’t know, maybe I’m doing a last hoorah, but I have not really made a plan, except that I need to make one! You’ve heard about my past “diets”. Let’s see what I’ve been through:

Ediets.com – Expensive and menu too expensive

 “Fat Fallacy” – Loved the purity of the anti-fake “food” but too much self-control involved. Hello, Chocolate is allowed and ENCOURAGED after dinner!

 “Body for Life” - Need a buddy and can’t find one, also exercising 6 times a week, please!

“South Beach” – Great for the first two weeks (for me) but then determining your own number of servings of carbs for continuing your “weight loss” meant for me – I’m sure I can eat them all and not gain weight! Yeah right. Also, too much fake sugar. See “Fat Fallacy” above.

“French Women Don’t Get Fat” Loveable anecdotes about how she got fat in America then came home embarrassed, but again too much self-control involved

“French Don’t Diet Plan” Yes, I’m sure by now you can see why I failed, again. I can’t control myself!

“The Abs Diet” Kinda like Body for Life, but less emphasis on the actual workout and no “Before and After photos” to encourage you to continue!

“The Sonoma Diet” Couldn’t wait for my first glass of wine, but then making my own separate meals was too labor intensive.

It's now May 23 and I'm finally posting this January 25 page. But, guess what, I'm on a new plan. Imagine that! Stay tuned :)
