Monday Morning Mischievous

A woman woke in the middle of the night to find her husband missing from their bed. In the stillness of the house, she could hear a muffled sound downstairs.

She went downstairs and looked all around, still not finding her husband. Listening again, she could definitely hear moaning.

She went down to the basement to find her husband, crouched in the corner and facing the wall crying. She asked him, “What’s wrong with you?”

He replied: “Remember when your father caught us together, when you were 16?”“Remember,” he said, “I had a choice: I could either marry you, or be sent away to prison for the next 20 years.”

Baffled, she said, “Yes.”

The husband bawled, “I would have gotten out of prison today.”

Getting Fatter and Adding Excuses

Ok..I am going to go out on a limb and say…We need to get off our lazy asses, put down the super large portions and get moving. I think we have more excuses on why people are fat than kids have excuses for not handing in their homework.

I can say all this because I fall in the over weight category. Wasn’t always this way, in high school I maintained a slim 135-140…then I had my son (I was inmy senior year of high school) and got LAZY. I have succeeded in staying that way for the last 12 years. Yes, getting pregnant helped add the weight but in the long run, it didn’t need to stay that way.

So now we can blame our friends, near or far. If you have gained weight it is possible that it is your friends fault. This is all according to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. That is one I am not buying, I am sorry but most people jam food in their pie holes for comfort, because they are happy, sad, mad, glad…bla bla --> sounds like me! I LOVE anything chocolate, sweet, salty, cheesy and fried. I don’t think my friends or my friends friend’s sister's uncle's mother or brother are to blame for what I love to eat and how much of it I choose to cram in my mouth.

Don't forget that the fat rolls down hill as well. If you are lazy and eat and eat, your kids look at that and do the same thing. Kids learn by example. So now we have created some more fat people. Now the whole world wants to know why there are so many fat and lazy kids. Well with the age of video games and computers they have all stopped going outside to play. Going outside would force children to use their imaginations to have fun. Why bother when they can sit inside and play video games.

My Journey to Self Improvement

So this journey is not going so well. I am not sure if it is lack of will power or if I am being assisted. About a month ago I decided that I was ready to quit smoking. Three weeks ago I started to take Chantix to help me with that. Well my husband who is also a smoker and was always the one who said we should quit, always lecturing me about how bad it is for us and so on, really has not been supportive of me. More times than not he will sit next to me on the couch and procede to light up! Piss me off. No reguard for what I am doing, it is not like he didn't know it was coming. I had to wait 2 weeks before I could see my doc and another week before my insurance company approved my prescription. So here I am craving a smoke after not smoking all day. So it is the same idea with losing weight. No support at all. I wanted to go to the gym and he gets all pissed off and says he loves me just the way I am. Thanks honey but I am not buying it. You told me what you use to think of me before I gained the weight and you also told me what other men had said. So it is not that you love me just the way I am, it is the fact that you don't have to worry about who is looking at me and what they are thinking!!
