The real scary....

It's true that when you're an adult you can do what ever you want, but that doesn't mean you should.  Enjoy your dietary carnage when you're young while you can kids. Case in point....

 

Forgive me for my future hangry....

So to officially kick off the start of October, I am doing a 14 week weight loss challenge with 7 of my friends.  The one who loses the most weight wins.  There's money riding on this. Because everyone knows that money, sex and candy motivates anyone, young or old.  Tho' this is just a fun friendly competition, I also see it as a way to keep me in line.  I have a HUGE sweet tooth.  So obviously Halloween and Christmas proposes as a threat to me.  Thanksgiving not so much.  I really don't dig the Thanksgiving feast.  Normally on that holiday my plate consists of salad, a roll and maybe a slice of cherry pie if someone made one.  But Halloween candy and Christmas cookies/sweets...oh my god. I feel myself getting fat thinking about them. Anywho... if I seem especially snarky/bitchy/annoyed...its because I'm going thru sugar withdraw.  OK, so I doubt I can completely give up sweets, but I'm going to try to keep them out of my house. 
So what are some of your diet/exercise tips? Favorite meals?

 

Weighing in on the new diet...

So the Mister declared this house to be a "Paleo" house.  (Those who don't know what the Paleo diet is, its basically non-processed meat, veggies, fruit and some nuts. THATS IT! Boring... I dig my cheese, carbs and candy.) I've been half assing the diet when he's not around, but its not hard for me to get snarky around meal times. Especially when it comes to me not being able to eat what I'm actually craving. Like last night.  I took it out on his veggies.

In the kitchen. I'm eating a wedge of a granny smith while he roots around in the fridge to figure out what he's going to eat as a side to what we're grilling.
Me: So did you figure it out?
Him: *looking a little longer, like he's praying a beer flavored veggie appears in there* Yeah. *pulls out a cucumber*
Me: *casually looks over while still nibbling my apple slices* Are you sure you want to eat *that* one?!
Him: uh, yeah...*looks at cucumber and then me* WAIT! what did you do to it?!?!
Me: *grins* nuttin.....
Him: Christ....
This is where I start laughing so hard I have to put the apple down and he realizes that I'm only fucking with him.  Or at least he's praying I am.

Fast forward to the cucumber already cut up and in a bowl. He then proceeds to cut up an onion and tosses that in the bowl too along with a handful of cherry tomatoes.
Me:*looks in the bowl*
Him: *looking at me*
Me: Do you know what would go great with that salad?
Him: What?
Me: lettuce...
Him: *puts me in a half ass choke hold and smacks me on the ass*
(Those that don't know... he hates lettuce.  He calls it filler.  He always eliminates it from anything he's making. Like his BLTs are just BTs.  Tho' he doesn't want to look fussy in resturants and just deals with it.)

So now you know the story of how I almost didn't survive day 4 of the Paleo diet.
