Lunch Crock passed an important test today - angel hair. I made my dh Toasted Angel Hair with Sausage and Peppers (so good) for dinner last night. I packed it in his crock and shipped him off. It reheats well without getting mushy or stuck to the bottom (it's a metal crock).

I might buy a second one! Like I really have room to store more slow cookers.
 
Back to "dieting" --

I bought a bottle of "Skinny Girl" brand Sangria.

It smells and tastes like feet.

I really wanted to like it. I know the S.G. margaritas really took off. Bethany has got a whole line now -- White Peach Margaritas, etc. etc. Anyone tried them?
 
Have any of you ever created a Youtube series? I've been thinking about it lately. I follow a few of the Youtube dieters who give like weekly updates. I've never made a Youtube video so I'm not confident I would be able to figure it out. I think it might be nice to make them -- if nothing else, for accountability's sake!
 
OKAY!!!

I've made you guys & myself an audio file.

http://audioboo.fm/boos/1159659-hello-ti-friends

This is the best I can do for now. I want to say how serious I am this time about making health a priority (uh, just like the last umpteen times I've said it.)

By the way, I think I really like this (new?) site, AudioBoo.
 
Hellooo, Starlight East.

Good question. I don't know how else I can be held accountable. I just know I have to do something and do not delay. It's not a new year's resolution. It's just time. I want to make the most of my youth while I still have it. I don't want to forget what it feels like when I backslide because it motivates me to keep trying even though it's really hard. If I begin saying it was never really that important, I'll leave it to you guys to remind me that's not true.  ;) You can use my own words against me.  :)

I don't know if anybody would even watch if I did the Youtube thing.

I've seen one person in particular totally bare her soul. She puts everything on there -- steps on the scale in front of the camera, does a bikini video -- I don't think I'm that brave. But I have to give her major props. It doesn't leave much room for error when people are waiting, watching, and leaving nasty comments if you fail. Wow! That's one way to stay motivated!

Others have dropped off the radar when they take two steps back. I don't want to be that person either.

I'll do it my way. We'll see how it goes...
 
Starlight or anybody else: Do you guys want to try AudioBoo, too? I was on another forum where a whole group did it but a different audio thing. A couple of the people sounded absolutely nothing like I thought they would. It's weird how your brain decides what someone should sound like.
 
OMG! You couldn't tell why FM, and why not .com- that ruins it for me. No audioboo :P
Video over audio for me.. telemarketers ask me if mom and dad are home. My mom asks me to give it mommy. With that voice, NO audio unless I want to say BOO. But wait, if I ever want to pull a Russell Peters, now is my moment...

You're in luck, CZ! It looks like AudioBoo does do video after all.  I just noticed it when I was browsing their recent uploads.

We're waiting.  :)

Conditions apply :P I didn't say I will do it- I just said what I prefer..
That said, you never know. Some day, when I feel like it, I will upload.
 
Things have been going really well since I posted my "confessional" above. I went to the grocery store last night with better habits in mind. I'm counting almonds as I type. Homer would be so proud.
 
CZ - are you getting ready for swim suit season?

My new neighborhood is so tight-knit. I see everybody at the pool -- all the moms and dads from school who I run into year-round, people who work at the grocery store, etc. It is definitely a motivator when you have to face these people in a bathing suit. Spring break is only 2.5 months away. Geez.
 
Has anyone here ever thought of taking up smoking? I personally think smoking is disgusting. I tried to make it work a long time ago, very briefly. I could never get into it. BUT I hear it curbs cravings. I'm kind of tempted. I just can't get past the smoke getting into everything. It is so gross. At least pipes smell so much better. I don't know any women who smoke pipes, though.

Ready as in ready to rock in a swim suit? Yes. Ready to swim? This will be my 11th year of learning to swim. Even R2 will learn to swim independently this year :/ Our pool is like that too- we meet all other kids/ parents. Actually this side of the neighborhood kids start playing every evening in the motorcourt very soon.

Smoking- I don't know.. not for losing weight, but I do want to try those exotic cigars in the cigar bars/ lounges.
I have gained a lot in the past two weeks. A few very depressing things happened. My dad was hospitalized with a stomach virus, but took them time to diagnose the real cause- he was treated for blood pressure for two days until the doctor realized it's not that. Then uncle met with a road accident, he is home with my parents , bedridden for a month at least. Kiddo's hospital trips.. and then something else happened with me. I am kind of fighting all that with sugar, sugar and more sugar. Not the straight sugar that my body doesn't react to, but to the carb and sugar combination. Hopefully now that everyone is alright, I will take care of small ups and downs with coffee only. I need to visit gym also. People go to gym in January the most, and I haven't seen my gym in a while..
