March is almost here kids! So I am dedicating the blog to all things green. Green food, green nature, green people, saving some green, green green, and more green.
I am much better today i.e. regarding the 14 freaking flights of stairs deal from Thursday.
Me and a young lady on my team at work, LORETHA, have joined the Fitness Club deal they are doing. I don't know what it is all about yet, but Loretha and I are in it to win it. Loretha is also going to show me how to ride the CAT bus. If gas goes much higher, my happy butt will be catching the bus. So far Loretha has told me when we do our trial run I am NOT to make eye contact with anyone. That is rule 1 she says. I don't know if I want to know rule 2. But hey...I am up for anything.
I am going to clean my house today. I am doing some leg lifts as well to try and work the rest of this soreness out.
Time for lunch...must have something green!

No walk today...some moron parked in my spot...had to go to parking tower...called parking lot guru...she was going to take care of the moron in my spot...AGH!
the vegan thing from yesterday...started looking at things like mayo...everything has animal products in it...EVERYTHING!!! how can you be totally vegan??? why can't you have milk products...getting the milk doesn't kill the cow or harm him in any way...so what's so wrong about that???
Ginger, at work, has accomplished 2 days without carbonated beverages!!! YEAH Ginger!!!

So iI binged 'vegan' and did you know there are vegan caterers??? for vegan weddings??? Could I vegan for a day? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I could probably vegan-ish for a day.

Looked like rain today, but did not do it while I was walking to and from the building today. In an ongoing effort to reduce fat and be debt free, I decided to leave my purse at home. I brought for lunch a yogurt, a banana, and a cheese stick. If I had brought money, I would have bought a cheeseburger. If I would have seen Jamie Lee Curtis and her Activia yogurt commercials, I would have punched her out. I also would have paid $ 5.00 for anyone who had a stick of chocolate chip cookie dough. Might have went as high as $ 10.00. Truth be known, I would have traded my IPOD. I am so freaking hungry. Co-worker brought me some chocolate covered, peanut butter laced Bugles. Sounds totally gross, but kids, it was not bad. Not bad at all. I didn't even know they still made Bugles.
Will probably add a block or so to the walk. Am really pleased I have done this now for almost 2 weeks running. For me that is huge.

Day off day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Started working on the closet of horrors. What a land mine. am throwing away stuff like crazy. found a Christmas book of pictures when April was married to the ex moron...tossed it all. didn't even salvage the pictures without him in it. tossed 2 lamps, baskets, picture frames, clothes, ribbon, wrap paper,.college books, papers, binders..have not even made a dent in this crap. almost tossed dell printer but didn't ....my pledge to toss 3 things every day until this closet is clean and the office is walk in able!!!!!! My goal is as weight comes off the body...weight is also going out of my house....I am tired of saving things. had a ton of empty boxes I was saving to wrap things in. out out out . My criteria before tossing...if I don't truly love it, or if it doesn't make me laugh or smile...it is gone!!!!!!!!

10:55 am Skipped to work, well not really, but did walk with a bounce in my step. Day 5 without chocolate.
2:00 pm Chocolate record just crashed:( Company bought chocolate cake for everybody from Community Bakery, which means it will be very, very good. Well really I don't know if you can even count chocolate cake as a REAL chocolate. A REAL chocolate would be like a Hershey Kisses and Hershey with almonds. Wouldn't it???????
11:24 pm Good night.

Can I grow my bank account and shrink my butt at the same time???? I have not had chocolate for 4 consecutive days. What's the big deal you ask? Well I will tell you... me and chocolate have had a very torrid love affair since before ET discovered Reese's Pieces. And the thing is I don't know why I haven't had chocolate. Well yes I do. I have not been inside a store of any kind all week. Usually, I will buy a candy bar when I am in a check out line. Could it really be that simple? No shopping=no chocolate.
Topic Jump...When I walk 4/10 of a mile daily to and from work...somebody help me I am about to do math which I hate...4/10 of a mile x 5 days = 20/10 = 2 miles?????? Is that right?????Let's pretend it is so I can just be so pleased with myself. Now, what would I have to walk to make that 3 miles per week??? Well, crap I guess I will have to get in my car and track the mileage around the block or something.
February starts next week...I need some IPOD music suggestions for February walking etc???????
BTW, I have come across another blogger you might find interesting...runsavannarun.blogspot.com. Young college kid doing her 1st marathon. Now here's what I liked. She ran over the Big Dam Bridge. She says the bridge has a 5% incline. 5% FREAKING INCLINE. NOW WONDER THE GYM VIRGIN WAS TOTALLY WIPED OUT. Nobody told me nothing about a 5% incline.
Oh and another thing, my sister aka drill seargeant, she tells me after I barely had time to savor the victory of my crossing the Big Dam Bridge...She says I have to incorporate this into my weekends now. Meaning she is suggesting I do this EVERY WEEKEND. I am not hauling my bubble butt across that dam bridge again. .....well I might think about it.....

So today was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Joyfully did my little walk to and from the work building. One of my team members walked with me this afternoon. Now hold on, you won't believe this...I walked AND talked at the same time. Now let me tell you we were going at a good clip. Well it was a good clip for the Gym Virgin. hehehehehehehe
Update on the SHAPE magazine. Have decided I don't like it. Well at least not all of it. The good part of the mag are the tips they have on a variety of subjects. The bad part is alot of the articles are written by aliens who think pulling on their tiny little workout capris and bra tops and scampering off to the gym is just the best thing ever. They all lie. I have decided I don't trust anybody under a size 10. If you are a single digit person, I have serious doubts about you.
Laters!
