Looks Like Someone Has A Case Of The Mondays

Hump Day FAILs

"Try again. Fail again. Fail better". 

... Samuel Beckett

So True ...

Wow ... disappointment after disappointment after disappointment from the Obama administration. In 2008 I was so excited for Change - but little did I know that "Change" meant a $2.7 million tax break for Rush Limbaugh and $1.5 million extra in the pocket of Glenn Beck. PER YEAR.

Bootay FAIL

Employee of the Month - FAIL

Darn, I lost the Employee of the Month Award in November - to a Ham!

If THIS Doesn't Make Me Give Up Fast Food...

...nothing will.

Mother's Day: FAIL

Friday Weigh-In: EPIC FAIL

How NOT to lose weight:

DON'T go into the kitchen of your restaurant and ask for a big-ass order of onion rings after you tell your blog readers you are going to try and do better. Even if beer-battered onion rings are the most delicious things in the universe.

DON'T repeat the above every single day since last Friday.

DO avoid the gym and any other forms of exercise at all cost.

DO make sure you drink lots of alcohol at night, and have lots of McDonald’s hangover breakfasts in the morning.


Okay, so I have come clean – even though I vowed last week to get back on track, it didn’t happen. Normally I would be suicidal right now, but I’m surprisingly not. I’m actually just hopeful I can do better next week - which may have something to do with our new President and/or THE HAT.

I am also changing my (previously) unspoken rule of not discussing my actual weight – just how much I’ve lost/gained. I tell my Dust Bunnies almost everything – why should this be any different?

I am 5’ 10” tall, and today I weight 264 lbs. And trust me, NONE of that is muscle. It is flab. According to Weight Watchers, my ideal weight should be less than 174 lbs. I am at least 90 lbs. overweight.

On my December 19th Weigh-In, I weighed 252 lbs – making my total weight loss 25 lbs. So if you do the math, that means I weighed 277 lbs. when I joined Weight Watchers on October 17th. As of today, I have gained back half the weight I lost.

I hope to start doing the right thing today. Good or bad, I'll report back in a week.
