Ho Ho Craving

I was at the grocery store this afternoon
And I was getting a little hungry.
I really wanted something sweet.
I decided on a Ho Ho.
I haven't had one in a long time.
The chocolate and white filling was totally calling me.

Now this story can be longer
Because I accidently STOLE the Ho Ho.
I feel totally bad about it.
It was hidden under my shopping list
And I didn't notice it until I was bagging my stuff.

I got to the truck and ripped it open.
Why are there 3 Ho Hos in a package?
Who really needs 3 Ho Hos at once?
One was gone before I even left the parking lot.
Tammy ate half a one when I got home.
I ate the other half.
And the last one is still on the counter.

See...now before surgery...all 3 would have been gone
Before I left the parking lot.
Now...I couldn't even look at the other two.

At least my craving was satisfied.

Evil Vending Machine

It's been 11 months since my surgery.
I'm down 112 lbs.
I have one month to go to the year mark.
Do you think I can make it down to 120 lbs down by March 20?
That would be like losing 10 lbs a month.
But not really because I only lost 3 lbs. last month.
But you get my drift.

I dug the ab roller out of my mom's basement the other day.
I did 100 crunches last night with no problems.
I also lifted weights for my flabby arms.
I need to start walking/running again!
Stupid snow!

I was very proud of myself at lunch today.
I had some slices of salami...
I know...Ash Wednesday...I totally forgot. :(
I also had some grapes for a snack at 9 a.m. and an orange.
I barely even touched my Diet Dr. Pepper.
It's on my desk getting warm and flat now.

I was eyeing the vending machine.
The Ding Dongs and Cherry Pie were calling my name.
I had a nice, crisp dollar bill from Sarah for teaching her class for her yesterday.
I kept looking over there like they were going away or something.

I was a good girl.
I put the dollar under the paper clip in my calendar.
I said, "Screw you vending machine!"
And I walked out of the teacher's lounge.

Good-bye To Buffets

Current Weight: Same as Below...but probably more now because I ate a lot for dinner and had 2 glasses of wine and Funions because it's a good combination damn it!
Total Lost: 110.5 lbs.

So that last post was a short one.
I had to gripe about the account thing.
I was just annoyed.

Tonight we went to Ponderosa for dinner.
Cheap steak and shrimp buffet place.
There was a coupon sticker on the local paper today.
I stole all of them.
Like I'm going to eat that many buffet dinners!
Who am I kidding?

Tammy and I split a steak.
It was good for the cheap place.
My first trip to the buffet consisted of:
1) 1 skinny slice of cheese pizza (didn't eat it all)
2) 6 friend shrimp (gone!)
3) 6 cold shrimp with shells (ick! gave up after one)
4) About 2 Tbs of shrimp scampi noodle crap (gone!)

My second trip to the buffet consisted of:
1) About 1/4 plate of salad with all the good stuff (only ate about half)
2) One small scoop of vanilla pudding with vanilla wafer cookies. (gone!)

And I had one glass of Dr. Pepper.
Not good to have really.
By the end of the salad, which I always eat last cuz I'm weird...
I was so full I needed a nap.
I ran to the car and hopped in the passenger seat.

I am done with buffets.
Seriously...why go there?
I can't eat jack and I'll never eat my moneys worth ever again!

So, this is my tribute to all buffet meals.
The good old Warsaw Inn.
Shakeys Pizza Parlor Buffet
The Buffet (pronounced like Jimmy Buffet) at Ball State
Ponderosa
All Chinese Buffets
Done.

Forever.

I just can't handle them anymore.
Waste of my money and time.
AND!
It plays on my emotions too much.
I see all that food and get waaaaaaay too excited.
I eat like I'm normal and then I pay later.
Not good.
So...

Good-bye Buffets...Adios.

Where's the celery?
