DanicaX’s BodyBlog

"I’m doin’ the work… I’m baby steppin’." hahaa! That’s what Bill Murray says in that movie,  What About  Bob?. Sometimes I want to say that out loud, but then realize nobody will know what the **** I’m talking about, as per always.

 Ok, so I’ve been setting new goals lately and am changing a lot of things. I’m like a whole new person over here. First off, I cut the mullet. No more party in the back for me; I’m all business, baby.  Ok, but really I’ve been setting new goals and am very excited about them.  I have my newly posted goal, which is to get down to 16% bodyfat (underwater) by Thanksgiving. I’d say Halloween, but I’m planning on a whole dramatic episode at Thanksgiving dinner when we are giving thanks. Yes, it involves flipping tables over and spiking turkeys.

No, really it may be Halloween, but either way I’ma act krazy just to freak people out a little. And if I get a, "Man, I wish I could eat like that and look that way" I’d be a very pleased indeed! Little do they know…I’ve been busting my a**! I’ve cleaned up the diet a lot, mixed things up and have kept a thorough journal for the past 10 days and it just keeps getting easier and easier.  I am writing down all my goals and planning out my day the day before, which helps me a lot to stay on track….dammit I love to check stuff off of lists. I’m a check-off junkie.

I’ve visited a few farms to check out their products, been going to the farmers market every Saturday right when it opens so I can get farm eggs before they run out. They ring a bell at 8am sharp…it’s a whole production that is taken very seriously. Believe me, last week I tried to do a little transaction before 0800 and every vendor said no. This lady even told me to jut take one of her flowers I wanted to buy b/c said she’d "get in trouble" if she accepted money before THE BELL. I told her I’d pay her for it next week, which was this morning, but she wasn’t there today! Now I have to walk around with this fifty cent debt hanging over my head for another week. Great.

Also, I found a new acupuncture place yesterday and they fit me in. It was different than the other place I go to. I had to change into a gown. Oooh, sounds serious. I’ve got 2 appointments for next week, too. She used way more needles than my other place. I counted 64 when she was pulling them out. Guess it shoulda been 65 b/c I found one in my calf when I was getting dressed. Yikes! I’m ok….I’m ok. That happened last time at the other place, too. Personally, I think they are terrorists trying to take one person out at a time, but I can’t prove it.

Another goal of mine is to go to hot yoga at least once per week, which I went last Sat and today (Sat to me, but really Sun since it’s after midnight).  Today was the first time I ever got my left leg and foot wrapped around my right calf in the "eagle pose"—I could always do the right over the left w/ no problem. Of course, I screwed it all up and fell over when I was patting myself on the back about it ;) 

I went out with a friend of mine tonight for dinner and "drinks" even though I planned to not drink. Mission accomplished, although I got made fun of by drunken A-holes all night. Like I care. I got 4 oz of salmon for dinner, and that’s the first time I’ve eaten out in 10 days. Yes, I’m patting myself on the back right now and typing with the other.  

Let’s see….I think that’s good enuf for now. Hope everyone is having a good weekend and behaving (you know who you are).
