Very Cool Reasons to Forego the Cream in your Coffee...

and stick to your healthy lifestyle( no, NOT diet, but healthy lifestyle) plan instead....

*being able to FINALLY wave BUH-BYE to the 'Women's' section at stores and shop in the more fashionable and less expensive 'Misses's' section instead!
* being able to see a very noticeable, instead of barely there bicep when asked to flex(this happens to me all day long-NOT! - but I do have a bitchin' bicep now)!
* feeling that sense of sweat-soaked exhiliration and satisfaction after completing 3 supersets of your workout at 4:30 a.m. when you really didn't want to move an ass cheek off of the couch- it is a wonderful feeling, TRUST ME!
* being able to catch a glimpse of a distinct outer thigh muscle in the mirror above the lettuce at the local Stoppie's! Shit, so I really DO have muscles under there after all! Guess those 30-35 miles per week that I walk ARE paying off!
* being able to scour the fashion mags for that little black dress for your upcoming 25th reunion with the confidence and assurance that said dress WILL be black and little, NOT circus tent and muu-muu like!
* being able to switch from a MaryLou's large Mocha Kahlua Iced with xtra cream and Sweet/Low ( 2x daily I devoured these-YIKES!!) to a Dunkin's Vanilla Spice black with Sweet/Low, with lo- fat Cremora added afterwards. I don't miss a thing, DO NOT feel deprived, and mean not disrespect to MaryLou's News whatsoever.
* being able to still consume my BudLight's and still lose weight!(yeah, I know, if I gave up the suds, I would virtually disappear, but too bad- I can and will forego alot, but NOT my Bud!)
* getting 'checked out'...no, I don't mind, and no I am NOT a conceited snob... not for nothing, but I admit it feels good to be noticed. At least I'm honest!
* having a TON of confidence, and feeling an immense satisfaction in continually pushing myself farther, not taking the next victory and settling for just that.
* feeling damn good, both mentally and physically, and enjoying the many benefits that come from having the stamina and willpower and strength to adopt a healthy lifestyle plan, and stick to it! Diet-Smiet..diets are temporary, alot of times harmful things in that their end result is fleeting and damaging in the long run. Trust me whan I say, I eat what I want, miss NOTHING, and if I really need to scarf down a few handfuls of Tostitos and salsa, I DO- but I DON'T make a daily habit of it. Therein, for me, lies the key.

Work in Progress

Funny,
but I can't remember
how
my arms felt,
around your neck
as I looked into
your eyes
an innocence of a child
breathing longingly,
into you.
Can't remember
how
it felt
to throw my arm 'round you
in the middle
of the night
and hold you,
your childlike innocence
or so I thought,
it to be.
Was it really?
or just
a well placed guise
perhaps
I,
am never fully
to know
but I am,
aware.
Not a selfish journey
to
'find myself'
for I've known all
along,
who I am
just never quite,
so much
as this never -before.
and I don't
am not
in love
with you,
anymore.

Have You Ever..

~ felt so sure of something, but yet felt so uncertain?
~ felt so confident, but felt so insecure?
~ felt so comfortable, but so ill at ease?
~ felt so much, yet at the same time, felt nothing at all?

Love bites, Love bleeds, it's bringing me to my knees"- Def Leppard

Walls

Walls ( I Love You)

of paper
walls
of stone
I want, you near
but won't you leave,
me alone?
I know,
what is needed
know,
what to say
I so, want to
trust you
so why do I push,
you away?(only sometimes)
in my mind
but not,
from my heart
you had a permanent place,
at the beginning,
of our start.
and there,
you'll remain
no matter
the refrain
that may play,
only to me( and that's as, it should be).
I so wish
you could see
that my wall
'round my you
is a temporary thing
as is the dark
that clouds,
my eyes
very rarely
only sometimes;
it's
for me,
to work out.
you never need
to climb
never need,
to scale
for my walls
are light and frail
and last,
never long.
I will knock,
them down
and discard,
their debris
for
of all, that may come
you and I
are meant,
to
be.

Aesthetically Speaking...

this 'woman' is damn scary.....but even to allow oneself to delve ever so slightly into her mind is enough to make one absolutely terrified.
I shudder to think.....

Makes Sense!

If you begin eating 2,500 calories per day then your metabolism will adjust itself so that your body begins burning 2,500 calories per day. If you try to starve yourself by suddenly eating 1,000 calories per day then your metabolism will again ADJUST ITSELF so that your body begins to burn only 1,000 calories per day. That's why you have failed in your past dieting attempts, that's why you always seem to fail when you try and starve yourself.

butchers' assistants and bellhops, you've had them all here and there.
children of god and their joy-strings, international women with no body hair.
oooh, so where they're askin' in an alley and your voice ain't steady.
if your sex mechanic's rough you're more than ready.
you're an orgasm addict.
an orgasm addict.
johnny want fuckie always and all ways.he's got the energy, he will remain.

and he's an orgasm addict.

mmmmmh's......

~why do women who are under, let's say 5"3" INSIST on wearing those God-awful capri running pants?? I mean, WHY cut your already vertically challenged body down even more?
~ Fat people are slobs. As a former fatty, I can say this without prejudice nor reservation. How do I know this so definitively? Because I work in retail, and am subjected to their sloppiness on a daily basis. Yeah, thin people are sloppy also, but the fatties seem to have a lock on sloppiness. I mean, if a person is say flirting with being designated as 'morbidly obese', then they obviously do not care enough about thier personal upkeep, so hell, why bother being a wee bit neat in the stores then, huh? This is frustrating beyond belief, TRUST ME.
~the 'puter is( knock on wood!) up and running again.Lord knows for how long, but I'll take full advantage of it while it still has a pulse!
~ the Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno is a definite must read and do, though the title is misleading, as it is NOT diet, but moreso a lifestyle change that is very do-able, and relativley easy to adopt.
~ directional. Turn signals. Whatever you choose to call them please, for the LOVE OF GOD, CAN YOU IGNORAMUS' PLEASE LEARN HOW TO USE THEM??!!?? Thank you, from the bottom of my' I rack up too many miles per day to have to put up with you dumbasses' heart.
~ ATTENTION: Shaw's Supermarket: please, please PLEASE take these songs out of your weary Muzak rotation, before I hang myself... Shiny Happy People. The Hustle. Rock Around the Clock( which I used to love, but am learning to despise). Electric Slide. Thank you.
