Oh my GOSH!! My appetite is out of control this afternoon.  I’m not a little bit hungry, I am friggin starving!  My belly is chewing on a rib! 

I am trying to calm it down, I fixed myself a Diet Coke and I’m munching on a Fiber 1 bar.  Maybe all that fiber will do the trick.  But I think its being caused by all the Memorial Day food bombardment.  It seems like no matter where I turn, look or listen I am hearing something about food.  Its all over tv, hell Ellen is doing some ice cream thing right now!  On the radio today while at work, its all I heard about.  We have a festival here Memorial Day weekend called Riverfest.  Its a huge to-do on the bank of the Arkansas River and its nothing but a junk food/cold beer fest.  Ok, they do have live music but mainly you go for the deep fried food and the gallons of beer or fruity little drinks.  We dont go but its all they are talking about on the radio and tv.  Deep fried twinkies, snickers, turkey legs, corn dogs, fried potatoes….ARGGGHHH!! No wonder my belly is screaming FEED ME NOW!!  I wish the new prez would take charge and make it illegal to celebrate our country’s holidays with food!  ENOUGH ALREADY!

My one saving grace to all the cookouts this weekend?  Well its suppose to rain now.  All that mess from Florida is about to move west.  Yeah, west not east.  Its called an Eastern Wave.  Cute huh?  Anyway, our rain chances have gone thru the roof so if its coming a flood there wont be any cookouts.  Of course that also means no tree trimming, no pool opening, no pumpkin planting.  But thats ok if it means it will save me from ruining my weekend with sides of beef and gallons of beer!!

My Curves 30 day membership ends this Friday.  So that means I get to weigh in there and also get my measurements taken again.  I am pretty excited about that.  The weigh in is gonna suck but I think I’ll be pretty happy with the inches lost.  I can really see a difference in certain parts of my body.  My legs especially.  I have nice little dents (not puckers!!) where my muscles have really toned.  My arms are looking awesome, good bye bat wings!  Even my sides and back are looking alot leaner.  Unless I’m dreaming it and its really still there!  But I also have to decide if I’m gonna continue my membership with them.  I do want to, I just hate signing long term contracts. That is a real con for me.  Not that I plan on stopping but you just dont know what is gonna happen a few months down the road.  I’m still thinking it over.

Weigh in is tomorrow, the scales are still up but looking better.  I might actually luck out with only a gain of a few ounces or maybe a maintain.  And hopefully we will have some news on whether this meeting will remain open or not.  I have decided for sure that if it closes I am done with attending meetings.  I will either do it online or attempt it myself.  While I’m not crazy about either of those ideas I just wont have time to drive out to the center for a meeting.  Its just too far from my office.

So anyway, thats about it.  The diet coke and fiber bar seems to have helped.  I’m not about to eat my Hungry stuffed man anymore!  His googly eyes crack me up.  I forgot to tell ya they sale a bigger one online (to the WW’s online members) and my sis bought me one.  So I have him sitting right under my monitor staring at me making sure I dont forget and go to shoving deep fried snickers in my mouth! 

Gotta get off here, we have to go mow my grandmothers yard this afternoon before the rain moves back in.  Well Tom has to mow, I get to visit with her.

Becky, the pup is doing good!  Growing like crazy and has developed somewhat of a pot belly on him!  He is still staying with us full time and no signs of dude coming to look for him either.

Later buddies!!
