I'm a cheater

I am almost through my eighth day of no junk food.

However, I have cheated.

Not big cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater kind of cheating.

Just the pitiful kind that makes you wonder why I'm even bothering.

Friday I had three Milk Duds.

Saturday I had an average sized brownie.

Sunday I had a slice of apple pie and vanilla ice cream - warmed.

It was a difficult weekend.

Yesterday I had a bite sized Butterfinger.... and Baby Ruth.

It sounds way worse than it is.  That's the story I'm sticking with.

In the course a normal day I easily would have had the whole box of Duds, two of those brownies, a second slice of pie and four or five of the candy bars... each.

I had a bite of a cookie today.

Photo challenge Day 3 & 4

Day 3: Clouds

 

I ventured out just at dusk to catch what clouds were in the sky.  I took this photo challenge literal as I didn't have the imagination today to come up with something oh-so-clever.

Day 4: Favorite Color

 GREEN!

Everything is budding

 Green...

 More green.

And.... green.

 green.

 

Photo Challenge - Day 1 & Day 2

Day 1 - Self Portrait

 

This is me as very few have seen me.  No makeup, late at night after a long day.  Puffy, buggy, baggy eyes and acne scars for the world to see.  Am I a bit cross-eyed?!  Thank you Dad for the schnoz.  We're always hardest on ourselves.  Pointing out our flaws as if to prove we are aware we are flawed.  This is my self.

 Day 2 - What I Wore

In a heap on the floor, a pair of my favorite shoes - my self-designed Converse; a gift from my dad.  Staple piece: black zip up hoodie.

30 Day Photo Challenge

Shortly after a friend started a photo challenge, I became inspired to do the same.  It's a 30 day photo challenge.  I can already tell you I will probably forget most days but my goal will be to post thirty photos this month...  Here's the link that I found through a friends follower follower...er... whatever.

Crushin'

Yep, I still have a crush.

It's hard to have a crush when you're 40.

Even harder than when I was 39.

It's tricky when you work with your crush.

I'm getting tired of flirting.

I'm going to have to do the asking.

There's "rules" that we should be aware of.

Gah.

Scary.

I can't.

I don't think he'll say yes.

Then what?

I won't do it.

I should because I don't think he will.

Wait, maybe he's scared.

Nah.

I hate this.

21 Day Challenge

Starting Monday I will embark on a new adventure.  It will be challenging and exciting and hopefully life changing.  Okay, not that dramatic.  I'm going to cut out junk food.

It's just 21 days, right?

What do I hope to accomplish?  Several things.

1. Weight loss
2. Less bloat
3. More energy
4. Save $$
5. Healthier lifestyle

Question:  Is peanut butter a "naughty spread"?

My habits now are atrocious.  I would bet money that 75% of my diet consists numerous items from the list above.  Ice cream just about every night.  Fast food about twice a week.  Stretches of weeks where chocolate and other candy is consumed daily.

I have to put on a swimsuit in 40 days...

Oh how I love chocolate.

Bragging - show 'n' tell

My little sister is going to college for film.  She is given a fairly vague assignment on what to film - there are requirements and exclusions.  I am always so beyond impressed with what she comes up with.  She's incredibly gifted and amazingly imaginative.

I wanted to share some of her work.

1. Film a silent chase scene.


2.  I believe this one was to tell a complete story from beginning to end.


3. Film a location and convey an emotion, then add a voice over. (Turn up your volume or use ear buds for this one)


4. Long take - meaning it is shot beginning to end with one shot... no cutting or editing.
