You all know what I mean. The scale can lie! Mean and nasty invention that it is. It can say what it wants but it is all about the clothes sometimes.
Point in fact. My brother bought me an oilskin coat for Christmas some years ago. It didn't fit me when I got it but I was gracious and loved it (because I did) and I just couldn't give it up. Now the right thing to do would have been to exchange it but sometimes a girl doesn't want to tell her brother that the coat doesn't fit.
Ok so it's been in my closet forever. Ok forever is an exaggeration, a couple years is probably more like it.
Anyway let’s get back on track. I had to go to the store today and the coat I would normally wear (it’s big and comfy and not a girl coat at all but it’s big and comfy and I like it so back off) is in the car covered, I’m sure, in dog hair. Bummer. Now what am I going to wear, it’s cold outside.
Think, think, think, OW! Ok too much thinking.
I go to the closet, more non-girl coats (can you see a trend here?) but I spy the oilskin coat. Hmmmm I know it doesn’t fit but maybe I can wear it unzipped and at least have my arms be warm. I take it off the hanger, I unzip it and put it on and realize I can zip it. Woo Hoo! It fits! And not just a snug fit it is a comfy fit. Double Woo Hoo!
So see? The scale lies. Life should not be based solely on what that dumb old scale says. Life should be tried once in awhile. Like trying on an old coat. It might fit and if it doesn’t maybe you will find a forgotten $20 bill in the pocket from when it did fit.
There’s an upside to everything.

2011 Already????
Wow who turned the calendar over to another year? Ok I vaugely remember hearing mention of a new year but now it's Feb already? Geez time flies alright but it isn’t always because we’re having fun.
Ok the last time you heard from me was before Thanksgiving and I have no good excuse. I have lots of bad ones but none that are really great. I’m sure we all understand about the holidays and traveling, shopping, baking, eating, schmoozing, etc. See? Told ya. Lots of excuses.
As for my diet it went really well over the holidays and I actually lost weight. I have continued to lose on average 2lbs per week so I am doing well. As for the calorie count, well I have stopped keeping track for the time being. Here’s why.
While keeping my food journal and counting everything I learned a lot about portion size and what is good vs. what isn’t good for us. I decided to try my luck without the journal over the holidays. I found, surprisingly, that I was eating smaller portions than I did before keeping the journal. I think seeing the portion sizes along with how many calories, etc. are in said portion makes a huge difference; ‘Seeing is believing’ and all that.
Anyway, I might go back to the journal but not right now. I have taught myself another lesson. Remember way way back kids when we talked about sugar and how eating sugar only makes you crave more sugar? How when we eat something that is high on the glycemic index then the insulin has to clean out the glucose from our blood thereby causing us to be tired and craving more glucose?
Well a couple weeks ago during “that time of the month” (yes I hate that phrase but we all know what it means so I will use it) I had a craving for some chocolate. Now normally if I crave some chocolate I will have a few M&M’s or a bite size candy bar. They say if you crave something have a little bit and then you will be over your craving and not overdo eating the bad thing. Ok so we all understand about cravings too. You have to feed the monster or he won’t go away. But this time was one of those odd times when a little bit wasn’t doing it and nothing was satisfying the monster. I found myself eating more sugar (and honestly I don’t have a sweet tooth) but I also realized that the more sugar I was eating the more sugar I wanted.
Ok that was a long way to tell you that I proved the theory right. But in the process I came to understand what I had been reading. Sometimes practice makes more sense than theory if you know what I mean.
So I have overcome another hurdle just like I did with portion sizes. What’s left? Oh yeah eating all day long. That is STILL an issue, as is water consumption. But baby steps here people.
As I mentioned before, weight loss isn’t dieting it is a lifestyle change. Just like my quitting smoking was a lifestyle change although that was easier, we have to eat everyday so it isn’t something I can just quit.
So now you know what is up with me. I am still plugging away and making lifestyle changes all along the way. Small ones to be sure but those are the ones that will stick with me the longest.
Makes me wish we knew when I was young what we know now about food and what to eat/what not to eat. I think we could all have been healthier eaters. I am a picky picky eater but I think that was because I was given too many options about if I wanted to eat something. I see my brother and sister-in-law feeding my niece and they give her all kinds of stuff to get her taste buds trained for future use I guess and good for them for doing it. She will learn better habits earlier in life when it’s easier to do.

People watching and the Post Office
“Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.” - Author Unknown
We all have enjoyed an activity called ‘people watching’ at least a time or two. Some people will admit to people watching and some won’t although we all know everyone does it.
Most of the time we people watch while we are waiting for something or someone. Although there are times when we will just go out for the sole purpose of people watching. Now the results of people watching are very much location dependant. Each location will provide different types of people and different activities or actions for you to enjoy. The locations are endless:
Outside your workplace
Inside your workplace (although I think the boss gets mad when you spend more time watching others than doing what he is paying you to for)
Parks
Playgrounds (but be careful here, moms are really cautious these days if they see someone watching junior too long. Try to keep the people watching to adults please)
Grocery Store
Mall (the food court is the best place in the mall for this but really anywhere will provide good entertainment)
Your own neighborhood
The DMV (takes a real close second place only because you only go there one time a year but it’s always entertaining)
But the best place possible for this activity known as people watching without a doubt is…….
The US Post Office.
Now it doesn’t matter where this post office is located you will have a good time no matter what. I realized this was the best place only recently as I waited in line at my local post office. Next time you go don’t just run in and run out. Take 5 minutes to just look around you and you will see what I mean.
You will see:
The person who talks to nobody in general
The person who has no clue about how to use the automated machine but won’t admit it. If you offer to help they will say they don’t need it yet they can’t see where the large label (that is at least 5’x7’) has spit out of the machine right in front of them
The person who makes a special trip to check their post office box, the one they keep for no reason what-so-ever except to make themselves feel important. Trust me you will know them when you see them. They are usually the ones who are throwing out the junk mail from their box and keeping nothing because they don’t get anything but junk. The bills and such come to the house.
The person who instead of stopping at the mailbox outside (the one they have to drive right past in order to get out of the parking lot) will come inside just to drop an already stamped envelope into the mailbox.
The person who comes in with a box, and all the stuff to go in it but it isn’t in the box it’s in a bag and they have no idea how to package the stuff, have no tape, no labels filled out, etc so the guy at the counter has to take 20 min to help them do what should have been done before they came to the post office.
The man who is angry because he has a pickup slip from the mailman for a package he wasn’t there to receive. Trouble is, it clearly states the package won’t be at the post office till tomorrow. The mailman just left that slip for him 20 min ago and his package is still on the mail truck. He is angry because the post office is inept because he has the slip but they don’t have his package (this guy was priceless) and then he stormed off
The people in line talking to others in line and they think they are whispering but you can hear them all over the lobby. These people are usually little old ladies but not always.
The possibilities for people watching anywhere are endless but for my money nothing beats the post office for entertainment value alone.
The US Postal Service may not always get the mail to you in a timely fashion and you might not like the price increases but damned if they don’t have great entertainment.
Don’t tell them though, they will want to start charging for it.

It's getting colder and we all know what that means
“Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.” - Charles M. Schulz
Yes kids winter seems to be just around the corner. My little corner of heaven is south of a lot of the cold yet not the tropics of Florida. My point is that I usually wear shorts....as long as possible.....really.
The other day it was downright chilly and I couldn't wear shorts as much as I wanted to. I had gone out the day before and it was cool (to my northern bred blood) but I still had shorts on while everyone around me was bundled up. But on this day I couldn't do shorts. This tells me that winter is approaching and do you know what that means?
JEANS!!!! Urgh, I hate wearing long pants be they jeans or dress slacks. I have been spoiled by shorts too long I know it but I just feel so restricted in jeans. After I wear them for awhile I get used to them again but....sigh, I guess I have to accept it.
Ok so I go to my closet and grab a pair of jeans. They are an older pair (my favorite of course) and normally they are tight when I first put them on and have to stretch them out a bit.
Come on kids, admit it, we all have to do this to at least one pair....right?
So I put them on and there is no need to stretch them. They fit perfectly. Huh? How did this happen?
Oh yes, that diet thing, the reason we are all here. So I seem to be doing good even if the scale isn't sharing that info.
I had heard from another source that you can't always count on the scale but your clothes you can trust. And I guess that makes sense because the scale isn't seeing inches it is just reading weight.
Long story short (I know, too late right?) I lost enough so that my favorite jeans fit perfectly. Yipee. Good news for me.

Forrest Gump Is Right --- Stupid Is As Stupid Does
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.” - Albert Einstein
Have you noticed that people are getting more stupid every day just go outside and watch them, read the paper or watch the news. Why is this happening? I’ll tell you why. It’s because somewhere down the line people decided that they no longer needed to take responsibility for their own actions.
Why? Well I don’t know the reason as fact so I won’t give my personal opinion.
Ok back to the subject of stupid people. Here are some examples:
*A woman goes to McDonald’s to buy a cup of hot coffee (hot is the keyword here) and when she drives away she places said cup of hot coffee between her legs on the seat and hits a bump and it spills all over her. Now she sues McDonald’s. Who is at fault? Could the fine folks at McDonald’s know she was going to do something so asinine as this and warned her? Come on, would you really place a HOT cup of coffee that is in a paper cup in-between your legs while driving? Hmmmm? Oh by the way, for those of you who are just coming out from under a rock, she sued McDonald’s and was awarded $2.86 million dollars by a jury and the judge reduced that amount to $640,000 and that was settled for a somewhat reduced amount out of court.
*The case of a Washington, D.C. judge, who sued a dry cleaning business for $67 million (later lowered to $54 million), the dry cleaners lost his pants (which he brought in for a $10.50 alteration) and refused his demands for a large refund. He believed that a 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' sign in the window of the shop legally entitled him to a refund for the cost of the pants, estimated at $1,000. The $54 million total also included $2 million in "mental distress" and $15,000 which he estimated to be the cost of renting a car every weekend to go to another dry cleaners.
*Google Maps' walking directions told Lauren Rosenberg to walk along a busy Utah highway with no sidewalk, and so she did—and was hit by a car in the process. Now Rosenberg is suing Google for more than $100,000 because it didn't warn her that the route was not pedestrian friendly. Google Maps actually does provide a warning to this effect on its website, but the BlackBerry version, which Rosenberg used, does not.
Now what stupid idiot walks on the highway just because someone (in this case Google Maps) told her to?
Remember your mother saying “If everyone jumped off a bridge would you do it too?” Come on people where is common sense? Where is their personal responsibility? It isn’t their fault, no of course it’s not. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Here are a few more goodies to make my point.
A lawyer who left his favorite leather coat (that he paid $800 for) in the food court of the Houston airport when he got on his flight to Las Vegas. Well of course the coat is gone and he is going to sue the airport, Continental Airlines and the company that manages the food court. Why? Because he has “diligently attempted to figure out who was responsible for collecting the coat and contends that party should have kept it in a secure place for a reasonable period of time”.
Well guess what Mr. Dumb-as-a-rock Lawyer, I never went to law school but even I know who the who was responsible for collecting the coat. It is you moron! Look in the mirror and you will find the person responsible.
Geez when was the last time your mother cleaned up after you? If I had an $800 coat (and let me tell you I’m not cheap but no coat is worth $800) I would keep track of where it was. And if he travels often then he should know better.
Now do you see what I mean by stupid people? I have one more example from today’s news.
*2 doctors were playing golf in New York. One was off to the side in the rough and the other hit his ball but it was such a bad shot it somehow hit the guy in the rough in the eye and blinded him. Yes it was a freak accident but why, you ask is he suing his “friend”?
If you were paying attention kids you should have known there was a lawsuit coming.
He is suing because the guy who hit the ball didn’t yell ‘Fore”. Now they are playing with 3 people total and last time I played golf I stood to the side while someone else hit the ball and never, ever have I heard the word “Fore” being yelled at anyone at anytime.
So the “friendship” is over I guess (lawsuits tend to do that) but is it really the guys fault who hit the ball? Isn’t the non hitting golfer responsible as well? Shouldn’t he be aware of his surroundings especially when playing a game where balls are being hit long distances by metal clubs!?
Come on people wake up!
The only person responsible for you is you.
If you rob a bank, you are to blame. Not PMS or the baby that wouldn’t stop crying or the post office because they kept putting mail in your box that wasn’t yours.
If you rear end someone it is your fault because you weren’t paying attention while you were putting on your makeup, downloading something on iTunes, checking your email and talking to your BFF.
I think you get my point. Once you hit 18 years of age my friends, nobody is legally and morally responsible for you but you. Let’s try to remember that in the future. And if you still don’t get my point, next time you buy something look at the warning label that is attached. You know the one on the hair dryer that warns you not to use it while in the tub, or the ladder that tells you not to climb on the side that doesn’t have steps on it. Those warning labels. Oh yeah and don’t forget to thank the lady that sued McDonald’s over the coffee next time you get coffee anywhere. Look at the newest warning label on the lid. “Warning: Contents May Be Hot”.
