OD'd on meat

I have been doing well with my weight loss I think or at least I have been doing well with the exercising part of it. I have at least 3 days off and 4 days where I hit it hard or at least hit it, lol. One day of kettle bell and cardio then a day of just cardio and then a day of just kettle bell then another day of them both so I think I should hopefully drop the 15lbs I'm praying to drop before Italia cuz damn it hopefully I've dropped another 5lbs this week, 183 to 178 to ??, one can keep the hope alive. I've been a little bad to get my extra calories in. Today I had a few sips of a mint/banana shake from Cold Stone, a little bit of Chick Fil A and then tonight is the toppper and the reason for the title of this entry. I was craving meat, red meat to be exact and it felt like I haven't had any in forever when I actually had some last Friday but still I had to have some. OO8 decided to take me to a place kind of like Texas de Brazil or the one the have here which is Fire de Brazil. Surprise, surprise, surprise, yes I know kind of Gomer Pile but shazam, it was Fago De Chao. Now I have never been to the one in TX but I remember living in Addison and passing it alot. It always smelled so good from the outside. We go inside and it is just like Texas de Brazil. Oh the salad bar was good but baby bring on the meat. Everything was delish. The lamb though, the lamb, the tender juicy lamb got my mouth a watering. I think I ate so much meat my eyes were floating in meat from the inside. I know I couldn't see straight for a good while, lol. They had the nerve though to serve some kind of pork with Parmesan cheese. It was god awful and dry, no wait, anybody's god had nothing to do with that dry nasty piece of meat. Poor OO8 though, the guys serving the meat hardly looked at him, it was funny. I'm glad I did my full kettle bell routine and my cardio walk because after dinner tonight I'm going to have to hit it double again tomorrow, lol, places like that should almost be outlawed or you should be at least able to wear your sweat pants in there, lol. I refuse to wear blue jeans with elastic in them though, it is wrong, wrong I tell you to almost OD on the meat. Then they have the nerve to give chocolates and mints at the door as you leave but wait wait to top it off they have the nerve to offer dessert. I think I would have taken/brought one home but I couldn't think with all the meat in my body. I'm not a big meat eater so this was a treat, something special but sheesh, trust me when I tell you this is something I can only do twice maybe three times a year or even when guests come into town but nothing I can do once a month or anything silly like that.

5 weeks there about before Italia.

Ok, five weeks and I will be flying over an ocean and landing half way across the world. With all that being said, I sit here I think at 183lbs and it ain't sexy. Hell I was just 172 and losing not too long ago; what the hell happened? Oh wait, I know what happened; Charleston, SC, that's what happened. Now with all that said once again, sorry I like using that tonight, I'm going to have to step it up and do some serious exercising and eating right, cutting back on the drinks and sweets ya know, lol. Monday I bought the Kettle bell and figured I'd give that a whirl being it looked pretty interesting, promising and besides I need some weights to do strength training, why not get one and get some cardio in there too. I'm too much. I must say that thing is kicking my butt too. I only did the review, getting acquainted, exercises and I was sore today. I did half a workout today and I'm sure I'm going to be screaming tomorrow but I will be on it once again. It seems pretty festive and seems to be working too which is unbelievable since it has only been what, two days. I'm throwing in a little cardio in there too with doing my cardio hip hop and cardio kick. I'll be fine before you know it and hopefully because I only have five weeks before Italia to get HOT, lol.

Here we go again

Today I was told we are going to Charleston, SC for at least a week and we are leaving on Sunday. Poor OO8 doesn't want to go but he opened his big mouth and now he has too but hey that is cool; I get to have my pizza I missed last trip but it is going to suck because I won't be seeing him as much. I will only see him in the morning and then late in the evening and late being 7:30-8ish for dinner and then to top it off I think I have to share him with the NBA Finals as well but we will see because they start playing this Thursday which sucks for me but oh well I guess, I will make it. I won't complain because I don't need him tripping and being in a bad mood so I'll just have to suffer a little bit. Sucks we are going to Charleston a little though because now I can't start the trainer like I wanted to, our time apart, then there was something else and I forgot just that damn quick too, grrrrrrrr. Well I'm starting my Italiano lessons tonight. I thought it was going to take at least 5 to 7 days for the Rosetta Stone headsets to get to me but they arrived today. I would have started earlier but I made it down to the pool to exercise/fool around there and that usually drains me since I do it around 2ish and it is very warm around that time but quiet with no one around except like one or two people. Hopefully with my change in eating habits and this pool business I will be losing some weight here pretty soon plus I plan on starting something with that trainer once I get back. I think I am going to talk to her tomorrow via e-mail or cell phone, well actually I might just send her a quick e-mail tonight and see what's up.
I'm so nervous about starting these language lessons. I don't know why but I am but trust me I am going to get on it. I just hate to start 30mins before I'm going to start dinner but I just might or at least start dinner and then come back to it. OO8, License to cook, is in the bed sleeping. He said he had a slight headache. I told him if he laid down he will wake up feeling not good but weird. He didn't listen of course, he is a man, so now he is in there sleep with the pooch I'm sure chewing or sleeping on his tummy or somewhere close to him if not under the covers. The lady right beneath us and I had a nice little visit yesterday. She tried to adopt a dog, small dog, from the animal shelter but she said she just can't do it because it is too much work and she is too old for that, lmbao. Ok I admit it is work and will be work since the poor dog was burned badly and will take some love and attention to get over some things but he is very friendly and such. He is such a sweetie but if she can't do it or doesn't want to yes, give him back to the shelter or your daughter who picked him out for you in the first place, lol.
I am meeting my boyfriend's Italian mother July 19, 2008, Saturday at lets say 1:30pm, lawd jesus help me. This is going to be something interesting. He also told me last night I have until 1 month from last night to figure out what is the first thing I want his mom to cook for us because if it were up to him he would be eating Octopus and sweeties I don't think so not unless it is grilled but that is a Greek recipe, OO8 already looked that one up, lmbao.
I can't believe I just snacked on a piece of bread w/a little shredded cheese & a thin slice of ham but now I am hungry. I think I am going to have to cook before I start any kind of lesson because I won't/can't/refuse to focus when I have food on the brain. I wonder what time OO8 is going to get up or will The Mighty jump on him like a mountain and lick him upon the face to revive him to this world, lol. Who just really freakin knows buttercups, lol. He said we are changing hotels and hopefully this one will have a pool and workout center cuz damn it I need to get fine cuz being this size after getting down from here just ain't cute at all potnas!!!

Lil' Ms Priss' chump butt still hasn't called, oh well cuz guess what, I ain't calling her either since she is so damn busy. I'm movin my cool on else where I can't waste my good energy in places it isn't wanted. My road dog from TX via Sacramento via TX again,think I'm saying that right, HA who gives a damn, her cell phone has been disconnected, wonder what is up with that but as usual she will contact me once she is back up. My Ace Coone Boone is still as damn crazy as ever. Glad I'm her friend cuz anyone else wouldn't shake her right. 7:45 bitches and I'm almost ready to cook, muahahahaha!!! Ok the Riley came out in me when I'm mostly on that Huey level but Grandad Bitches Freeman is crazy with that belt. I think I'm going to inhale one more time and then head it on in the kitchen and burn a little bit. Hols is crazy, I don't care what ya'll say. Too bad I met her on my way out of Texas with her dear friend but that is what makes that so special, one more person to visit, visit us and chat it up to on the phone especially when she makes her drunk call to OO8, that one marg can do it to ya, lmbao.
HEY MAMBO, MAMBO ITALIANO!! Sorry that was OO8's fault because there is a pretty good place to eat around here called Mambo Italiano and it just makes us bust out in song, lol. Hopefully I can find OO8 this recruiting class at a college or something. I can't believe his job doesn't have something like that but hey they are Italian, lol. I'm teasing. 7:55pm Bitches and I'm on my way to the kitchen. I'll be back crazy people, I will, lol.
I can't believe OO8 wants me to do a master piece for the bedroom. That is going to be so fun.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, won't you be my neighbor?

The weekend was different than something I've experienced before. OO8 & I moved furniture around and now we have a very different living spot. Not different in the fact that it is so unique it has to be called different but different in the fact that it is more open, we have a new 45 bottle wine cooler, new "bar" area, in need of a new coffee table and the sunroom has a new & better table for it. Saturday went from hanging pictures on the wall so it could finally feel like home to let rearrange the furniture because OO8 needed something different, lol. Oh, we also have new patio chairs. Festive little patio rocking chairs we scooped up at Target. We took full advantage of enjoying them when we had Sunday lunch outside on the patio precluded with a cocktail of peach vodka & orange juice.

It is now reality and something to be excited about, I'm going to Italy. My passport is in my hand, the ticket has been purchased and shortly I will be in a far away place, a place half way around the world. A place that is going to take 20hrs to get to by plane with a stop where you ask, in Paris. Ah, Paris, a place I would love to see but OO8 says it is a place he won't visit but he'll take a connection flight through there and tease me with the idea of Paris. Oh, OO8 how I want to shake you so, lol. We are staying for 3 weeks so I think I'll have time to get plenty of pictures, lol.
