Empty Posts
When I opened my blog the other day I noticed that several of the clips that I borrowed from You tube were gone.
At first I thought that somehow someone removed them. But later found out that the networks consider the snippets as proprietary property ;and the amateurs who linked these snippets to their own websites pirates.
I guess I never thought of it in that vein so the snippets are gone nevermore to be seen again. So sorry.

South Beach progress report
Well-
I lost 12 lbs in the first 5 days and spent about $100 weekly for food trying to buy raw foods.
I went away for a weekend and slipped. I had no idea how hard it is to find food you can eat on the road.
We left NC about 5:30 am without doing more than swallowing some juice. I reached the VA border around 8:45. We stopped at Arnold's Diner (yes there is one) but they didn't have any Canadian bacon which is the only type I am allowed to eat. So I ate regular pre diet breakfast.
Later, when we reached our destination, I had a slice of home made apple pie (made with Splenda) and a grilled chicken salad.
The following morning, we all went to IHOP for breakfast where I had pancakes, eggs, bacon and juice.
The Monday following our trip, my cravings came back bigger and better than ever. It started with an innocent jolly rancher, then two , then three... (insert theme from Jaws)
To date , I regained 5 of my 12 lb loss and have not yet been able to get beyond phase one.
I'm not giving up though and neither should you!

South Beach anyone?
One, I've done the reading. Two, I've looked at the menus. Three, I've got the mindset. So go.....
I have made up my mind to start the South Beach plan.
I've tried everything elso so it can't hurt. When I go to the family reunion in August, I want to be bloody marvelous!
It also helps that I am in the process of having extensive dental work done so, I can't really chew:-(
My daughter asked if someone lives in a dorm, how do they follow the plan? When was the last time that the cafeteria used anything but carbs? Anyone have any experience with this?

New Year Resolutions
Every year I make a resolution to do several things different and every year I fail. Why? Because new year resoulutions are meant to be made on January 1 and broken by January 27! This year I lasted until February 1st.
This year I resolved to: eat better so I could lose weight, excercise more by taking my dog Winston for long walks, to manage my money better by creating an emergency fund for emergencies, to clean up my credit so that I can be a better steward of what I have been blessed with.
Of course eating out all the time has little to do with eating healthy. Winston, my bearded collie, likes to pull, sniff and pee on every bush in creation. There is a problem with irresponsible owners who ignore the leash laws in our community, so Fluffy feels free to snarl at me and my dog while we're walking and minding our own business.
My emergency fund plan lasted 2 pay periods when I had, you guessed it, an emergency! I am in the process of refinancing my house so that I can afford to live like a human being again. (Don't every get an ARM- that's for another tale)
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. I'm not insane, but something is definitely not right.

salute to MLK boondocks style
I found this on youtube.com. It operated on the premise that instead of dying, MLK remained in a coma for 40 years. When he awoke, he was truly disappointed with the state of Black America.
Some of you may be offended by the use of the N-word.

I have 2 words for you...oral surgery
I have been under the weather. Friday, Jan 6th I left work early because I had an asthma attack. I took my breathing treatment and shot in the ehinnie like a big girl and went home to rest.
The following Monday, I was in pain so I called my dentist and asked to come in. I had a filling (I thought)fall out earlier.
My dentist looked and said the tooth could not be saved and referred me to an oral surgeon.
As it turned out the tooth had cracked below the gumline and was abcessed. The roots went into the sinus cavity.
Can I tell you that flexible spending accounts are the best thing that I've done for me in a while?
I ended up taking the entire week off. As my friend Lena put it, I looked like I was in a fight and lost.
Today is my first day back and I'm leaving early to have the stitches removed.
Can you say ouch somebody?

For other Farscape fans
I found this posted on youtube by justinroniuk. It is an unaired episode of the pilot. The quality is a bit grainy, but we get to see Creighton. Enjoy!
