I (will) look great fit ;)

The difference between a dream and a goal is ACTION.

It’s funny (and sad) how many people discourage others from their truest desires by trying to be ‘realistic’ and protecting people from failure. The greatest learning comes through failure. Like Kennedy said, only those who dare to fail greatly will ever achieve greatly.

For me, I’m doing a Thoreau and going confidently in the direction of my dreams and living the life I’ve imagined. To manifest my goals/dreams, I’ve been accomplishing a lot of tangible things to display my determination. It’s true that willpower begets willpower.

1. I’m now a vegetarian.
2. I’ve lost 25 lbs.
3. I’ve been working out 6x a week.
4. I’ve been eating a BFL diet.
5. I’ve learned to FLY by staying committed to cleaning routines.

So when my mother says it’s unrealistic of me to do what I really want to do for a living, it really disheartens me and makes me mope… until I remember the things above. It’s my wish for whoever reads this to believe that you can achieve anything you set your mind to- and go out and do it. Let’s prove all our moms wrong.

"Ooo, shhh. Yes! She’s stepping on me now. I am going to F*CK up her day! Woot!

Tomorrow, I’ll toggle down 10 lbs to get her hopes up…

And the next day I will CRUSH her!

MUHAHAHAHA! Who’s the MASTER?! SAY IT! SAY IT!"

1. Scales are backstabbers. 
2. Life is unfair.
3. Moths don’t have mouths which makes them freaky.
4. Work will always juice you like an orange.
5. Never look in the direction of a cop as you’re driving past.

It’s been a terrible week. Maybe I shoulda known since I’m now almost officially over the 30 hump. Birthdays seem to bring out the best and the worst or in my case, just the worst of the worst. The dmv managed to screw up my registration by putting someone else’s tickets and excise taxes on my account, totalling over $800. While I wait for them to clear the issue and retrieve the paperwork my registration expires and I get a $100 ticket. Bossman piles on 3 priority projects due this week then acts up when the low priority projects are pushed back. But the worst part is despite sampling many different scales (and following the BFL plan religiously) I have gained weight.

Yours truly,

Super stressed

When I was at 205 lbs I had some pretty amazing breasts. It reminded me of the good ol’ times of being pregnant except without the lactating part -NICE! At 25 lbs lighter I’ve noticed I don’t fill my cups. Is this fair? I don’t think so!!

Guys attest that their unit gets bigger when they get in shape. Couldn’t this be the same for women? I wish all that avocado, peanut butter and flaxseed oil went to my breasts.

My cravings these past two weeks have provided me with astounding creativity when it comes to creating meals on restricted "healthy" ingredients. For instance, I would have never combined guacamole and egg whites. I think desperation is the key to concocting masterpieces.

However! Last night I had a run in with THE most disgusting muffin ever- the sweet potato muffin. I confess, I believe I made some major no-nos on this recipe. I had to have! It tasted like stale monkey poop.

No-no #1: I didn’t peel the sweet potatoes. BIG MISTAKE. I picked out most of the skin, but I believe the remaining skin lended a don’t-bother-chewing-just-swallow-it texture.

No-no #2: I didn’t flour the oatmeal. I think I was s’pose to blend this before mixing because it also highly contributed to the corregated cardboard chunkiness.
