Today was definitely interesting. Lots of stuff accomplished but unfortunately on Bernie's "hurry up and wait" schedule. It works for him but tends to leave the rest of us scrambling. The stink of me right now is appalling. I power sprayed 10 green bins and manged not to miss myself even once. I actually threw away the shoes I was wearing.
Here's the odd thing I've found out about myself lately. First off, my body now hates crappy food. I mean it actually rebels when I shove in something blechy. I'm speaking here of yesterday's pizza from the Westtown. Last night as I was blogging I felt completely gross and this morning... well, suffice to say, bathroom time was not pretty. Was my body so inured to crap that it just put up with it? I'm sorry body for all the lousy things I did to you.
The second thing I've noticed is that in the old days (before Jan 1 2011) when I was crazy busy I didn't just eat lousy, I ate high calorie, high sugar, high sodium lousy. Now, when faced with the crazy sched I've had lately I'm eating way too little. In trying to eat better we sometimes gravitate to low fat, fat free stuff. If I'm having trouble getting 1200 calories in per day why am I bothering with low anything? Sour cream? yep... full fat. I'm stewing some rhubarb tonight and thought briefly of using Splenda. Honestly... the whole batch takes less than a quarter cup of sugar... so I'm using the friggin' sugar.
Feels good to understand more about what my body wants. I remember when I first started to blog I talked about the little voice that urged me to pick the right things. I think that voice has established itself and I disregard it at my peril :)

day one hundred and fifty seven
Went to see Bridesmaids with friend Casey tonight. It has been a long time since I've seen a movie that made me laugh that hard. I'm going straight to the two thumbs up :)
Another tragic eating day that has only served to reinforce how much I enjoy eating well. I honestly feel like a bucket of shite right now. *Geez* Lesson learned.
Lots to do at the restaurant tomorrow as we're shutting half a day for repairs. I'm looking forward to it, but mostly I'm looking forward to hitting the gym after that. Yep... you read that right - I'm actually looking forward to some gym time. Check for pods !!
Keep on keepin' on y'all :)

day one hundred and fifty six
Well that's the back end of another Buskerfest. Thank God. Tremendous Fri. and Sun. with a bit of a dip on Sat. As always I'm terrifically proud of my team :)
Today's eating was tragic. Got off to a good start with some oatmeal but there was no time til I got home at 7 then I was just too tired. Back to work for 10 and the after party so I'm just zonked.
Looking forward to the movies with friend Casey tomorrow. Is it wrong that I'm already getting excited about popcorn ?
On this Sunday night I'm looking forward to sensible eating, quality exercise and a whole heap of sleep in the upcoming week. Also I'd like to lose a pound or two ;)
G'night y'all !!

day one hundred and fifty five
75 days left *yipes*
Thought we were in for a twister today and it did indeed rain like heck. Luckily it was strong but short-livedso Busker wasn't washed out. Would have preferred the temp be a bit higher but... at least it wasn't raining. Busy enough day... thanks for asking :)
I think I'm going to try another calorie cycle next week... mostly just because I can. Back to the gym and see if I can go from 2 abs to 4.
Obviously the tank is pretty empty tonight, so I'm going to slip into the hot bath I'm drawing, read the chick lit friend Heather lent me and off to bed. One more day of Buskerfest... wheeeee

day one hundred and fifty four
I love that one of our nation's great symbols graces my front yard (not a beaver, not a Tim Horton's franchise) but enough with the Maple keys already. Seriously, fall off the frickin' trees already and be done.
No exercise today unless you count going up and down the stairs at the Cactus 4000 times. I swear... 4000 at least! All was prepared for the Buskerfest, now it just needs to hum along at its own special rhythm and be done.
So thrilled to have tuna salad for lunch today. Sometimes I think people would find it cool to work in a restaurant and eat restaurant food everyday. Let me tell ya... it wears thin.The thing that is cool is that all I need to bring is the can of tuna. Need some celery? Chopped and waiting. Green onions... same. A little dry mustard powder to zip that up... yup.
Bedtime cuz it's all busker all day tomorrow...

day one hundred and fifty three
What a full day I had :)
Terrific lunch at Bangkok Spoon with friend Heather. So yummy. Friend Heather is a true inspiration to me. She is working so hard on her weight loss journey and is just kickin' it. Makes me want to be better... but not so much better that I join her at the gym at the ungodly hour of the morning she goes :)
I stopped at the Canadian Tire to buy a replacement reel for my WeedEater but a very handsome firefighter convinced me I could refill the old one myself at half the cost with three times as much line. I didn't believe him but his handsomeness persuaded me , so I bought it.
Off home to mow the back yard... mow, thresh... whatever. After the mowing I attempted to replace the line in my WeedEater. Whattya know, handsome firefighter was right. I'm so DIY :)
Next stop friend Margie's so we could go to Waterfit. Ah Waterfit... I'd forgotten how much i loved you. What I did not love was losing my bathing suit bottoms cuz they are just too large. *Yipes*. O.K. so I gotta buy a new suit. There are worse things.
I'm off now to sleep the sleep of the just before the big weekend begins. I'm there all weekend folks... so if you're hitting Buskerfest be sure to drop by and say hi.

day one hundred and fifty two
Well... I'm as ready for Buskerfest as I'm likely to be. Glad to have tomorrow off to recharge before the big weekend. Going to stock my office with cans of tuna, and healthy things so I make sure to get some good eating in.
I know it's day 152 but I'm tired of thinking and talking about weight loss. I think what I'm really tired of this this gd plateau. I know it's just a "body getting used to it" phase but it's pissing me off. I just want my body to do what I want it to. Stupid, I know, but true none-the-less. I've worked hard and I think I'm going thru a pissy, self pity phase. I'll come round but tonight I'm just grumpy.
Off for a cool bath and an attempt to shave my legs in spite of the sunburn... seriously -they're nasty :)
Keep on keepin' on y'all. I know I'll be back in fighting trim tomorrow :)
