Oddity

Someone said something odd to me, at the beginning of last week. It probably means nothing, but it is something that I keep thinking about… It keeps popping into my head as I go through my day.

So anyway I’m on lunch with my usual lunch buddies at work, and one says that on her vacation that she is going to start jogging. Then she looks at me and says something about how I don’t have jogging shoes, and she knows how much I like to jog (I HATE jogging). I don’t recall saying anything about jogging to her, but I could have. It just seemed weird that she pointed out to me she didn’t think I had jogging shoes. (For the record, I do have sneakers or tennis shoes or whatever your region calls them… as a matter of fact I have them on right now.)

Almost like, “well you are happy being fat, but I’m not.” I had probably dropped 17 pounds by the time she said this to me. Weird… Maybe she has me confused with my room mate, who thinks dieting is a waste of time.

Speaking of the Room mate, someone on her team at work asked her if she would like to go on WW with them. My room mate said, “no, I can be fat for free.” Amusing as that is, I don’t think it is true, especially when I have to pay extra for larger clothes and all the extra food I’m going to eat…

Good ‘ole Molly’s

I was so horribly bad today… Hubby took me out to eat at my very favorite Irish pub, Molly Brannigan’s.

Now I did well on the eating, I had a crab cake sandwich which was on whole wheat and veggies. Then I had some of Hubby’s bread which was probably a soda bread, just one slice. Here comes the bad part! I had two… not one but… TWO Irish mud slide things… It had Irish Cream, vodka, Kalua maybe. They were so good though! It was worth it… Irish Cream is always worth it.

So after we got home the dish of candy corn was talking to me, but I know better. Once I tell myself it is okay it’s going to be hard to fight through a binge. See I LOVE candy corn, and my room mate who scoffs at dieting brough home three bags! She also baked peach cobbler… I swear that woman is out to get me!

Time to saddle up on the plan again tomorrow, and recover from this derailment!
