Confessions of a Skinny Girl Who Thinks She's Fat--Weight Watchers at Work
My work is offering Weight Watchers in the office at discounted prices and I'm excited. Excited because I'm going to join the WW cult, you ask (what is UP with that picture)? HELL NO.
Weight Watchers has never really appealed to me because of the advanced algebra that seems to go into calculating points. '4g of fiber plus 16g of protein minus 10 g of fat', no thanks. I like to stop thinking past number of calories and maybe even before then. Also, the thought of sharing feelings and my emotional issues with food with my cubicle mates doesn't sound appealing.
I'm excited because maybe now people will stop bringing butter cakes into the office. Yes, I learned today while eating my snack of pickles that butter cakes are a thing. There is one sitting literally on the table next to me. Delicious sounding, obviously. BUT, maybe if this baking devil joins WW she won't bring in a 1,000 point cake. My wish is that everyone here who keeps bringing this great stuff in joins, maybe then I can fit into my Sevens again and we'll all be happy.

Biggest Loser: Corporate Style
Well folks, something in me has changed; the time has come and I have joined the program. The money is incentive enough, but I didn't realize until I spent a night at a concert sipping water and passing on all offers of $2 PBRs that the streak of competition running through me is fierce. I am motivated by sheer, biting competition to annihilate all these lovely young women I stand in line with, waiting to get hearded into the "weigh in" room.
We are officially in our fifth week of the program; exactly half way. Staying true to my commit-to-something-for-a-week form, I lost six pounds in the first week and won the weekly weigh-in competition. I was euphoric. But since, I have bobbled up and down to pretty much remain the same since my weigh in that first week.
Here is my re-commitment that will hopefully surpass the one-week results I have become used to obtaining. I suppose this could begin to classify me as a yo-yo dieter, although usually I don't even make much of a net-loss from start to finish. My ultimate goal, aided by the provision of Hot Yoga Groupon this morning is to actually exercise.

JogTunes: The best invention for working out to music SINCE music
However, to supplement this thought, the magazine introduced a new site that I think I just may try. JogTunes.com allows you to enter the beats per minute (BPM), a genre, and an artist (or any combination of these) and it will generate a list of songs you should download to match your workout goals! There's even an "Indie Music Search" if you are sick of Taylor and Rhianna.

Weigh in: Biggest Loser Update
Well, folks, today was weigh in. And bad news: I gained weight! My workout plan backfired horribly!
I am convinced now and it has done nothing but make me believe that working out is completely non-essential to weight loss. HOWEVER, I did invest all that JogTunes research and bought a package at the hot yoga studio, so I suppose I will continue the plan for another couple of weeks. Hopefully at the very least, even if my ass stays big, it will be a bit perkier.
I'll keep you all updated about the status of that goal and my many others . . .

Confessions: I Slept with Tucker Max . . . while eating a sandwich **
It all started one cold night in Indiana when I decided I needed a #5 Vito from Jimmy John's. You know the one. Salami, Ham. Provolone. Delicious.
Flash forward one delicious smelling cab ride later and we were back at his hotel. I couldn't wait to eat my sandwich. Tucker must have been in a hurry and had other plans. There was only one thing to do as he started kissing me and inching toward the couch. Make the grab now or regret it for the next seven minutes. It was on.
As we tumbled toward the pink scratchy couch pillows, I clutched the Jimmy John's bag tightly in my fingers. Kissing Tucker, I was able to tilt my head sideways to procure a view as I slowly opened the bag. I pulled out my sandwich and slowly pulled back the waxy paper. The sandwich appeared, ready to be bitten, just as Tucker started kissing my neck. This was it. My mouth was free.
Keeping one hand on the back of his head to ensure he wouldn't suddenly change locations, I took the first glorious bite. The salami seemed to melt in my mouth as the provolone stood sharply apart from the other greasy, spicy flavors. That's when Tucker went for the elastic waistband on my fat pants. What happened next was magical.
I bit into a pocket of capicola and onion and the flavors of the toasty bread, greasy meat and cold crisp cheese all blended together in my mouth. The net seven minutes were beautiful. Not too sure what Tucker was doing down there, but I enjoyed #5 Vito right down to the very last bite. I crumpled up the paper and tossed it behind the couch just in time and Tucker was none the wiser.
So in many respects, my interlude with Tucker was much more pleasant than Courtney A's. And it's all thanks to the joys of Italian deli meat.

This really happened. . .
Here was our conversation.
MT: What else can you dip in hummus? Snap peas?
LH: Yeah, and carrots.
MT: Hydroxycut? Cocaine?
LH: Yep, Laxatives too.
We then proceeded to finish off the bag of pita chips. Today=bad day. Luckily the crew is going out to drink some of these…that will probably make up for it.

Confessions of a Skinny Girl who Thinks She's Fat
I’ve been talking to Muffin Top and Arm Fat about it endlessly so I figured that maybe I need a new place to discuss it because I’m positive they’re starting to think I’m crazy. Simply put, I’m pretty sure flaxseed has magical qualities.
Since Monday I have put a teaspoon and a half in my oatmeal in the mornings. Since then I have been feeling fuller, wanting sugar less and feeling like I could leap tall buildings in a single bound. Why it’s magic I don’t know. Maybe it’s fiber? Maybe it’s mental? But I don’t really care. I just figured I’d share the wealth because me + flaxseed=happy.
The only way flaxseed could be better is if it walked over to my ex-boyfriend and slapped him. But that’s really the only way and you can’t really except something you add to your oatmeal to be capable of that. So, I guess it’s just completely awesome.
