I'm outta here.

Friday, I’m in Love. That’s right, no angst or flip offs.

Half day of work for me today. “Work.” Then I get to go wrangle 159 balloons into my car, pick up a cake, put together tablecloths and napkins and other goodies for my kid’s birthday party. The weather is FAB for this event, this – his first ever “real” party with friends. Not too hot, not too cold, no rain. Mini-golf tourney is gonna rock. And then pizza, cake and homemade sundaes after? Dood, Big Kiss knows how to party.

I’ll be refraining from cake, though. Yep. So here’s the deal. I’m on a medically monitored diet. I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired every 3 weeks or so. I’m not sleeping well (unless I drug myself), stressed out, have the belly fat that comes with not sleeping and stress. I needed help and finally got some. It’s not some “buy our food” or “drink this shake” program, or even counting calories…it’s a simple You must eat breakfast, x amount of protein at every meal and tons of veggies. The first couple of weeks, I’ve avoided whites (sugar, rice, potatoes, etc.) & fried foods. I’ve been really good and it’s actually giving me life style changes. Not just a quick fix.

They also recommend this powder in a jug of water once a day: Macro Greens.



It’s the equivalent of like 5 servings of raw veggies or something. I swear to god it’s even tasty. But holy shit.

No, I mean it. I’ve had to have a conversation with my colon begging it not to blow before I get to the bathroom.

They also provide a B-12 shot, I honestly have no fucking clue what it does, but I yanked up my pants and they shot me in the ass. I felt like an athlete getting steroids. Isn’t that what they thought they were getting? B-12? But it was really human growth hormone? Whatever, doc says get the shot, I took the shot.

I am sleeping better and have lost a few pounds off the gubba, so I’m happy I’m sticking to it.

Which brings me to my next dilemma. Vacation. Hell Yes, I’m taking a chic vaca, leaving tomorrow. My girl A and I are going to Savannah. We went there like 9 years ago and totally loved it. That trip, we drank from sun up to sun down. Visited the gay bars. Went to a drag show. Full on entertainment. This trip, we plan to lounge by the pool. A lot. We may surface around town to say we “did something” but after the winter we both had – lounging is much needed.



We're also going to walk, which we're actually excited about (?!) My blisters are healed, I need to do a few miles a day when I'm gone.

ANYFUCK, the thing is? I’m gonna have to try to stick to my diet while there. I don’t want to be a total downer, so I guess I’ll try to make good choices with 2 meals a day and let myself enjoy the 3rd. Probably lunch since that’s my biggest meal on a typical day.

Whatever. If I don’t lose, I’ll be OK with it. I’m going to try to be good but if not, I'll survive & reset when I get home.

Peace out, kids. Don’t be all brilliant when I’m gone. I’m just going to hit “clear all” when I get back anyway ;)

Sorry you've been running a little loosey goosey lately. I'm not sure I believe you that that stuff tastes good though. How is that possible?

Your Savannah retreat looks a-mazing. I hope you enjoy every second of that getaway!

Have a blast! And I'm curious about the healthy eating, as this is a foreign concept to me...

Have a great birthday party and fantastic trip!

I'm now motivated by your new diet, to try my own. Thank you!

I'm a pretty good eater, except for the occasional piece of cake or five...

I'm definitely big into hypochondria, too. It's one of my favorite hobbies. But I swear, when I binge on bad foods, I just feel like shite, almost instantly. I know it's probably the hypo talking, but really I feel like my body turns into a slug, the minute the Twinkie hits my lips.

So kudos to you and your healthy diet/lifestyle. I'm very intrigued by the Macro Greens.

Also, too? I'm a B-12 shot girl. I don't think it helps with weight loss in my case, but it's definitely an energy booster.

Look at you girl! I'm so glad to read you're taking control of your well being, as I've known you to do.
Completely jealous of the Savannah trip. I know you will have a fabu time...just wish I was doing it with you.

Will miss you tons!

Good plan for the trip - it's important to allow yourself some wiggle room . . . two out of three meals a day, a glass or wine every now & then . . . as long as your lifestyle when you're back to your normal life is back on track, a vacation will come in handy.

And from the sounds of things lately? You're well-deserved of this vacation. Enjoy.

Oh, we're having the first birthday for the little miss tomorrow - so I'll be doing the whole "too many balloon" thing, too. Burgers, dogs, cake, maybe even sneak a little wine into the pavilion . . . she's only one, but she knows how to party.

Happy Birthday to the little guy!!
Also- Macro Greens rock!!! Seriously. So good for you. Your body will regulate in a couple weeks and less stuff will want come out of your ass at all hours of the day.
Have the best time on your vacy. If you make good food choices... you won't feel so bad about all the alcohol you're drinking. :)

9 years ago you probably drank until you puked which equals weight loss. Get back on that horse!

I've heard great things about B12....but not a fan of needles...so tell me if it ends up being worth while! ;)

I used to take B12 vitamins all the time!

Have fun in Georgia!!! I want to go to Savannah so badly!

Drinking from from sun up to sun down? Ah, you've got the right idea. Hope you have/had a fabulous vacation. You deserve it, lady.

Blogger sucks. Just had to get that out there. My comments disappear constantly and I hate that.

Anyway, I hope that your new way of eating solves your problem. Belly fat sucks too. Doing a detox totally helped me with that a few years ago and I never had a problem again. Now if only some miracle would come along and give me a pain-free tummy tuck?

Have a fabulous time in Savannah. I can't wait to go there one day!!

I also gave you a shot of B12 in the ass. You just don't remember, but that's why you felt so energized the next day.

Wow - that's a great break after a party. I hope you both are having a great time! I'm pretty sure my new favorite word is "anyfuck" ;)

Enjoy your time with your girl.

And, you'll be fine: think of it this way, don't focus on losing:just focus on maintaining.

IT's about health, anyway. And relaxation--not stress--is what you need.

Have fun, mama.
