Journey to Glam

Yup, thats what I saw this morning when I did my unofficial weigh in. I just popped in to say that I hope it sticks for tomorrow’s weight watchers weigh in!! *cross fingers* That will put me right on track for Goal#1.
Have a wonderful Friday everyone…of to attack the to do list that is getting ridiculously long.

Dear Readers, get ready…because I’m about to reveal a deep dark secret to you….one that you can only learn through experience…A lesson that I had to painfully stumble upon at this point in my life…one that I am willing to share with you if you listen closely…are you ready…no really, are you READY?….here goes…

Having a big rack is HARD!

Let me back up…Yesterday morning, I’m up at 6:30 am for our joyous 7am staff meeting that we have every Tuesday morning. Thankfully, we are given some compensation for the obscene hour that we are forced to be coherent at in the form of orange juice, bagels and croissants. So dear old me, I grab a small croissant and head back to my seat…anticipating the next hour of nodding along in the right places while enjoying my wonderfully flaky and still low point (since its so small) croissant. 15 mins later, I’m done with the croissant and I’m about to present my little shpeel during the meeting…I stand up, do my thing, sit down and continue doodling on the side of my agenda. About 30 seconds later I happen to glance down at my shirt and what do I see but HALF of my croissant just flaking away on my chest! So there I am brushing croissant flakes off my chest, then trying to discreetly brush them off my skirt all while paying attention to the incessant stream of chatter floating around the table and trying to not look like a paranoid crazy person that keeps staring at my chest to make sure I got it all….What’s more…I get called on during this whole fiasco to offer my input (I had NO idea, let me tell you about what direction the meeting was headed in) and so there I am babbling along to some question, holding onto a bunch of croissant flakes in one hand and leaning wayy forward so I can see over my chest to make sure I got all the flakes…oye vey!

Heres the thing that they don’t tell you when you are “well endowed”…they forget to mention that quite often, you have to lean into your food for fear that your chest will act as a plate for most of your meal. They forget to tell you that running is not as zen of an experience as those TV commercials would lead you to believe….some days if you are near TOM or you don’t have a strait jacket of a sports bra…it just hurts!! And sure you fill out your dresses well but what about those times when you find the perfect dress that fits wonderfully but just shows too much damn cleavage to be considered any sort of modest. And they forget to tell you that sometimes, it feels like no matter how much weight you lose, you will still look “curvy” “soft” or “endowed” rather than “toned, cut or shapely” and it takes more than just a little waist to look “skinny” So hallelujah, I look forward to minimizing some of these things with the weight loss (and being just the right amount of big…is there such a thing lol)…so next time you see a Hooters girl strutting her stuff…give her a little credit too…maybe she had to resign to the strait jacket at some point too!

I’m just posting the menu up for now…I have SOO much I want to tell you guys! But I’m on my way out to a meeting…I’ll be back in a bit.

Ha, so I guess yesterday’s 3 extra AP points really came in handy because lord did I need them today.
For lunch, BF and I went to a Japanese Hibachi grill restaurant…Benihana’s. Have you been there? The food is pretty good but neither their website nor DWLZ had anything on the menu nutrition so I just sort of tried to wing it. I think I’m a little over the top but I know there was a lot of butter and oil in that food so I’ll just better safe than sorry.

THEN, after we got back, BF wanted Plucker’s wing factory for dinner. OF COURSE, it would be a joke if they published their menu. BF got an order of nachos (I had maybe a 1/4 of it) and an order of fried mushrooms (I had maybe 1/2). I have noo idea what the ballpark might even be but I tried! I’m pretty sure I’m far over than I need to be (I didn’t eat that much) but again, better safe than sorry.

SO here’s the damage from yesterday. Boy do I need to hit the gym this week.
