Feeling good!

Last night I did something for myself that I haven't done in a long time and it felt great. I auditioned for a play. Now back in my hey day, I did a ton of community theatre. I did show after show and had a blast meeting people and excersising my creative side. But life took over and and over the last 7-8 years I have focussed more on my career and family then on me. So this being the year that I do more for myself, I decided to go out for a show. How did I do? No clue, I will find out tomorrow if I even get a call back. But it felt really good. I had fun doing it, just releasing and becoming someone else for a few minutes. My husband was extremely supportive of me doing this, even though it will cut into time that we normally spend together. Add this on top of the almost 30 pounds I have lost and I am feeling pretty good.

Can you eat any F'ing louder?

There is a guy at work who sits about 10 feet from me. I have never heard anyone eat so loud in my life. Now this is a pet peeve of mine, but I am not the only person to comment on how annoyingly loud he eats.

He chews every single bite with his mouth open...and he eats allot! Especially chips!

I have tried joking with him about it and he didn't get the hint.

So help me please! How do I get him to chew with his mouth closed? If I don't find a solution soon I am afraid I am going to go postal!

Updated Weight

Its been awhile so I thought I would do an update on my weight loss jouney.

As of Saturday I was down 27.2 pounds in 3 months. Not too shabby except when you understand that the first 14 pounds came off in 3 weeks. Since then it has been slow going. I am not giving up though. I know I need to work out more and the loss will speed back up. But things have just been crazy. It seems like every minute of every day someone wants a peiece of me and I can't find 30 minutes to myself.

Next week I commit to working out 4 times.

Fair Take 2

I went to the fair again and this time I had:

Big Pickel
Baked potatoe with cheese and sour cream
Sangria
Popcorn
Fried cheese

Not as much as last time but just as yummy!

Everybodies going to the fair!

On Tuesday I went to the Wisconsin State Fair, here is a list of the food I ate...and I don't feel guilty about it at all. (at least until weigh in)

1) Chimichanga with rice
2) Ice cream sundae
3) Corn on the cob dripping in butter
4) Sour cream and chive fries
5) Big Pickle
6) Fried cheddar cheese
7) Wine
8) Beer
9) Various dips from vendors

Had a fabulous time with my friend. Sweated like a pig cause it was 85 out. Can't wait until next year!

WTF? Again

At the gym last night there was a girl on the elipticle machine, chewing gum like a cow chews cud and talking on a cell phone.

#1 Is she really getting a good work out?
#2 Chewing gum like a cow is gross and annoying.
#3 Why do people like that even go to the gym?

How bad am I?

This week my hubby is out of town for work. Does it make me a bad person/wife that I actually am enjoying him being gone? I get home from work and the house is my own. I can watch what I want on tv instead of SportsCenter. I can eat what I want without him telling me I should get in more protein/veggies. I am not sweating to death in bed from the human furnace that he is. Don't get me wrong, I guess I miss him some...but this trip is unusual, usually I am dying for him to come home the moment he leaves. But this time time, I really haven't missed him. I can tell he is missing me because I am getting an insane amount of text messages about stupid stuff to which I just reply with "oh" or something like that. But I am just not feeling it. Does this make me a horrible person?
