Has it really been May 27th since my last blog? C-Ra-zee! (that's Crazy- it's ok, sound it out- you will be using it); My, my and a lot has happened- A LOT- First, I still have Lupus. LOL (no, it didn't go away)- I'm doing fine, have some flares every now and then- had a big one in August that actually put me on the couch for 3 days. I now know to have my predinsone "on call" in case that happens again. Second, Fred lost his job at the radio station. Ball sack to the hundredth degree. No, I am not going to use my blog as a platform to call out all the douche bags (Except Scott "King of the Douche bags" Shannon) in the radio biz. That would take me WAY to long and I have a blog to write, dammit! :) Third, I had my 20 year HS Reunion back in Kansas. (I will omit blogging about this to protect the innocent)- So, as you can see, I have a lot of topics I can pull out of my wazoo and blog about.
So let's get on with it- I am officially going to start blogging again. Daily. (pause for applause) I actually have missed it. And...it was amazing how many people have asked me to start up the 'ol blog, so back by popular demand- Me! Now, there is some madness behind me blogging again. My scale this morning told I have gained 8lbs back from post cleanse- crap balls. Well, I admit, it's true. It takes a lot of hard work to keep the weight off; and when I was blogging, I was keeping to my cleanse regimen and that contributed to my success. Plus when you are eating white cake w/ white frosting (yes you can recall this love in a previous blog) and dirty martinis (my new love), it takes its toll. Plus I was really getting into jogging (well the jog/walk part anyway) towards the end of summer. Then the bottom fell out- literally. I was planning our Division's annual big conference- it was a stressor- so back came the working late at home, the not working out, and the not cooking and eating out more than normal. Then Fred lost his job; that didn't help either. But then... I discovered "Dirty Sue". OMG- the best thing ever created! I was getting pissed b/c I got hooked on dirty martinis while vacationing in Hilton Head Island (HHI for us Southerners). Well, I like mine extra dirty, which means more olive juice. I was getting tired of using all the olive juice and then I was stuck with a 3/4 full jar of dry olives. Then I found her. That nasty lady named Dirty Sue. Who whudda thunk it? They make olive juice in a bottle and you can buy it at the liquor store. Bazinga! Heaven in a bottle. But then, I noticed my jeans were a little more snug and dammit- I'm not going to let all this hard work go to waste. So I had a reality check with myself in the shower this morning and I said to myself, "Melissa, this shit has to stop. Gotta get yer ass back on the healthy train." And that was that. I packed my workout clothes and took them with me to work. I mean, duh, they have a workout facility in another building for CDC employees to use free of charge. As soon as I got to work, I blocked out my lunch hour for the rest of the year and beyond. Instead of porking out at my workstation, I am going to get my ass over to workout. I was so motivated this AM, I even googled "training for a half marathon"- WTF am I doing? Well, I am not jumping into the ring yet, but I started at lunch today with Day 1 of training for a half marathon. One mile without stopping, done. Check. Hell, maybe I can do this. So part of my daily blog will be about my "training". Now, I am going to start out slow- so most of my blog will have to be filled with humor while I get my body back in "workout" mode. Otherwise, who wants to read about "I hate looking at my legs in the mirror while I run on the treadmill" and "dude, the crazyass wackadoodle next to me on the treadmill must have had it cranked up to 9 because he was running like he was Wile E Coyote." But I am sure I will throw some of those zingers in any chance I get.
Anywhoo, hope you are happy to have me blogging again. If not, too bad- then don't read it. I know... it's like a train wreck; you want to see what happens with me and my crazy episodes, right? Well, you've got it~ Welcome back and happy reading. Until tomorrow~
