My not so private life....

A Saturday night at home eating grapes & newly discovered pop-chips! Have you ever tried these things?! Susan’s sent me some in my lunch today but I saved them for a snack. They’re like chips that are pressure cooked in an oven until they pop! 100 calories per bag and 3 grams of fat and the same chip taste! Also you get to stick your hand in the chip bag which, in itself, is feeling enough to make me think I’m eating Doritos! I’m late in making a progress video, I’ll try and make one tomorrow. I’ve been busy lately working, working out, being distracted by really lame reality tv shows and sleeping. It’s funny how life takes over sometimes! I did notice today my waist is getting smaller. I have a pair of jeans I’m dead set on fitting in September (my goal month and half marathon month). Anyway, back to my chips and Roseanne reruns. I clearly know how to have a good time!

I look forward to Monday morning now. Weird, I know. Monday, bright and early is when Susan’s Healthy Gourmet delivers my meals, then they do another delivery Thursday mornings as well. It’s kinda like opening Christmas gifts because the meals are always different and I hope for the elusive tiny desserts in the meals as I put them away in the fridge. So, today marks week two of healthy living and eating…weight loss for last week was 2.5 pounds which totals 6.5 in TWO weeks!!! I never thought cutting out junk food and eating right and working out would show instant results. I also cut my mile run time down to 15 minutes. It’s like a brisk run/walk…I’m getting there. I’ll make it… I’ll post some pictures of my body progress this week. I can feel inches off in my waist for sure. Also, I am starting a new job with the Department of Homeland Security, and that guarantees lots of physical work so hopefully that will help with the loss. In other news…I’m going for the Giants in the Super Bowl. -AJ

So today was rough as far as wanting something sweet to eat…I never realized how much I thought about food during the day & now that I can’t eat whatever I want, it’s intensified by a thousand!!! I swear I can smell the See’s candy shop 3 miles away, it’s like that. Anyway, I came home tonight and to my surprise dinner had a big, fat, chocolate chip cookie in it! Thank you Susan’s Healthy Gourmet, you saved my day for sure. Also! Dinner was chilaquiles…freakin cheeeelay-keeelaaaayyssss….mexican delishness! I did a 90 minute Bikram yoga class today. It was fun, like torturous fun. I like the instructor, he’s awesome. The room smells like Fritos and broccoli. I’m drinking so much water I feel like a fish. Seriously, I should go to CostCo & invest in a pallet of toilet paper, this water thing is no joke. I’ll weigh myself next Monday, a week after I started this diet to see my progress. This diet craziness has inspired me to write some jokes for some standup I’ll be doing soon (hopefully). Speaking of standup and some what related, have you guys watched The Rosie show?? I’m not quite sold on it. She’s not funny. Her guests tonight are Jackeè Harry and Stxy. Who? Exactly. Unless you were born in 1978 or earlier you probably have no idea who these guests are. Peace out girl scout!
