This winter, more than most others in the past, I gained weight. Normally I chalk this up to “hibernation fat”. You know, the kind you get from eating all the stuff that you can bake because it’s cold outside, or the stuff you eat over the holidays.
I tried to be careful over the holidays. Really. I’m not even lying! SHUT UP! SERIOUSLY!
I gravitated towards the veggie trays. I stuck with two cookies instead of a dozen. I drank water–even on the coldest days—instead of hot cocoa.
And yet….
My niece’s graduation party was yesterday. I forgot. My SIL called in the morning to ask for her large cooler (which was in my basement) Oh yeah!! That was today!! We rushed around doing all the errands that we thought we had all day to complete. We got home, and started getting changed to go. Hubs asked me to iron a shirt. No prob. Done in a second.
Since it was hot outside, and it was outdoor party, I went to the storage bin to find my summer clothes. Oh.my.God. I had nothing that fit me. Not one pair of jean shorts, skirt, skort, or sundress. Jesus! When did this shit happen????
The pain in my back had caused me to avoid more activity than usual. Now, I have to pay the piper. I got lucky though. I found one pair of shorts way in the back. I have never worn them because they were given to me by someone who had gotten too big to fit in them. I was ever so saddened by the fact that they fit–albeit tightly.
I am so upset and getting more depressed the more I think about it. I don’t like to get depressed. I am not the type of person who likes to wallow in sadness. I have to find a happy thought so that I can cling tight and avoid going under….
I just thought of something…SHOPPING!!!! A whole new wardrobe!!!! A new look!!!!
Fuck you! Roll with me on this!!

on June 22, 2008 at 1:36 PMPick up Great Gonzos by Ted Nugent while you’re out. He always pulls me out of a funk due to the absurdity of his lyrics (which he backs up with some great guitar).
Hmmm. Off the top of my head I can’t recall if Wang Dang Sweet … is on Great Gonzos; you’ll want something with that on it.

on June 22, 2008 at 6:58 PMI’ve gone beyond the muffin top since my back injury to a full fledged flabulanche! It sucks being in so much pain that you can’t walk, but…on the bright side now that I have two brand spanking new rods and four screws…and lots of pain meds, I have been given the thumbs up to get on the treadmill. I lose quickly when I am not sedentary, and unfortunately, pain in the back makes you want to do jack shit!
You’ll get rid of it in no time! Walking with some good tunes on the ipod – oh yea.
Metalmom said:
on June 22, 2008 at 6:59 PMFroggywoogie- In your first comment, you said “I know it sux while it’s on you.” I’ll remind Hubs of that later.
I hope you really are right!

Metalmom said:
on June 22, 2008 at 7:05 PMpriss-”Flabulanche”!!!!!! Great new word!!
I think I will be taking delmer’s advice on this one. The Nuge is great walking tunage! Hmm…Pantera can work too…..BOTH IT IS!!
priss said:
on June 22, 2008 at 7:08 PMGlad you like the flabulanche. Works for me – just as I explained to someone you have frontal and backal boobs. *Note – I don’t have backal boobs*
I have a great mix CD that I would walk to. I’m an old hairband ho’ – so I found lots of relics that motivated me.
