Thinking Before I Eat

My sister is here from New Mexico, Yeah! Although I am elated that she is here, I also have to think before I eat. My brother-in-law is in the Air Force, so she has lived in several different countries. We like to get together and celebrate different nationalities by cooking and eating different foods.

I found it fascinating that McDonald’s in Italy serves beer, while McDonald’s in France serves wine. While talking on the phone with my sister when she lived in Italy, she wanted me to ask the boys if they wanted to visit her there. One of the boys said no because he doesn’t speak Italian; while the other said (in his best Italian accent), “I can, Do you wanta Pepperoni on youra pizza?”

My sister thinks that I should weight in and blog daily, but I think (and I am sure that some from the law school would agree) that is cruel and unusual punishment. I will, starting next week weigh in on each Wednesday instead of every other Wednesday; and post a workout log. I’m going to try my best to loss as much as I can by June 1st, before I go to a trainer. No, make that June 2nd. The boys and I will be attending the WWE Smackdown wrestling match at the American Airlines Center on June 1st.

My weight this morning is 215! Yeah! My sister has actually lost 25 lbs in the last 5 ½ weeks. She was on some sort of diet and using her Firm Wave. She did cheat a little. Her husband found her KFC receipt and wondered why he had a bowl of cabbage soup while she went out for a two piece original. Hey, it could have been a three piece.

Losing weight is a little slow for me especially compared to my sister’s success. I just do not want to diet. So I am making gradual consistent changes as not to overwhelm myself, and cause me to throw in the towel. Until next week….215 Yeah!
