Are we human? Or are we dancers?

I didn't make either one of my goals yesterday. I had some dark chilli chocolate and I didn't exercise.

But...this morning I did sit ups and push ups and I lifted my 5lb weights AND I stretched.
 
There you go and here we are.
 
My new goal today is to not eat sweets.  I already feel weak though because it's "THAT time of the month"
 
Anyway I got nothing else today.
 
Except it's Thursday - which is my Friday.
 
Which means that tomorrow is Friday - which is Sunday.
 
And that Ladies and Gentlemen means I get to....
 
WALLOW!
 
Oh yeah baby!  Just like Queen Latifa in Last Holiday on the wonderful sheets in the Grand Hotel Pupp.
 
Wallow, wallow, wallow.
 
Then coffee...
 
I can't wait!

Christmas is a coming....

the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man's hat, if you haven't got a penny a ha'penny will do, if you haven't got a ha'penny God bless you!

I love Christmas!

My tree is up and our trip is planned.  Vienna is so much fun this time of year.

Of course I like Vienna any time of year.  But now that I think about it I've only been in the winter.

Hmmmm, we should go in the spring and see what it's like.

It rained last night.  Torrential rain. 

It actually woke me up - but I think that's because it's such an odd sound here in Dubai.  It rains like once or twice a year. Literally. 

I miss rain, and green vegetation.  Of course I don't want to live anywhere it rains all the time (i.e. London). 

Moderation.

That's what it's all about.

I need to have Goals again.  I lost 6lbs and I'm scared I'll gain it back.  I've been reading some weight loss blogs and they are good incentive and motivation.  My favorite is ExHotGirl http://exhotgirl.blogspot.com/.

She is funny!  And she's lost a ton of weight.

So anyway back to my Goal (it's got a cap b/c it's Important!).   No sweets today and I'm going to aim for sit-ups today and maybe 5 pushups.

Go Judith! Go Judith! Go Judith! 

I am my biggest fan!

If I'm not, who will be?

Republicans

Oh Yeah Baby!  The republicans are starting to take it back!  Virginia and NJ now have Republican Governors.

I had no sweets yesterday and only did the 10 sit ups - I did 10 more this morning - so CLEARLY I won't be doing any excercising at night.  

At least right now.

So my little goal today is rolling over from yesterday.  

No sweets, 10 sit-ups.

I need some coffee.

I'm going to Amsterdam on Friday...I've decided I'm not giving up on my mid-life crisis.

I don't have any children to impress with my wild ways, but I do have my self respect.

And self love.

And how can I look myself in the mirror if I don't do something crazy? 

It's my MID-LIFE CRISIS!

And it should rate something...unless of course mid-life for me is 50. 

ohhhh - maybe I should drag my mid-life crisis out for the next 10 years.  Do something really crazy every year or six months. 

Then when I'm old I can be like those women they put on the History Channel chronicling their crazy insane lives. 

They can say things like "in her day women didn't normally [insert crazy act here] but Judith was a rebel".  "She was doing [insert another crazy thing here] when women her age were doing [insert normal thing here]".

It's something to think about.

I wonder if my husband could stand 10 years of crazy?

I wonder what crazy things I should do?

Obama and Healthcare

I am against this universal healthcare crap he's trying to push thru.  But I need to gather my thoughts and research before I write more. 

I met my goal yesterday for sweets - but I didn't do my 5 sit-ups until today - so I did 10 this morning. 

Can that count for yesterday if I do 5 more tonight? 

I'm going for the same Goal today.  Maybe I'll try a weekly goal starting next week - after my vacation!  Right now daily is all I can handle.

My husband told me I'm going bald.  Now I'm freaking out and need to see how to keep my hair in my head. 

I don't want hair plugs.  They look weird.

But if I have to I will.

Or maybe I'll just shave it all off and go around bald. 

Or wear head scarves and hats.

Comb overs are not attractive.  But I guess no hair isn't that attractive either.  But no hair would be more dignified than the comb over.

Just call me Kojak.

Failure

Goal update...

I have good news and bad news...

The good news is - I didn't eat any sweets yesterday.

The bad...I didn't excercise for 15 minutes.

So today we're going with no sweets and 5 sit ups. 

Maybe I can acheive that.

Oh My Gosh....

It's another goal!!!

Today is no sweets and I'm going to walk for at least 15 minutes.

Dun Dunt Dunnnnn!

Goals Part Deux

Well I didn't have any sweets yesterday. 

Hmmm "They" could be on to something when "They" say if you write down your goals you're more likely to meet them.  Just Google "How to meet goals" and you'll get a whole list of how to meet them.  Lots of experts out there.

Maybe I should write a goal to win the lottery, the big one, a hundred million dollar one, do you think it will come true? 

Oh, wait a minute, that's the Secret - not a goal.

Anyhoo...I'm going to set another goal today. 

No sweets.

Yes I know - same goal.

But if I can keep this up, little bit, little bit, little bit, I'll start adding more goals to my list.

And one day maybe I'll "gasp", maybe I'll excercise...

Dun dunt Duuunnnnn (cheesey music noise).

Goals

I have a goal...

It's similar to a dream, but not.

I have a goal.

I'm no longer going to say "I want to lose XX pounds".  I'm just going to try to break it down to the simplest of goals.

I'm going to try to not eat sweets. 

Today.

Because trying not to eat sweets forever isn't going to work, neither is stopping for 6 months or 6 days.  So we're just hitting for today.

For some reason during Lent I can give them up for 6 solid weeks.  Any other time - it's a no go.  So for today, just today, no sweets.  No biscotti with my coffee, no chocolate with my wine.  No pudding after dinner. 

Just say NO!

Now "they"  and you know who "they" are... say that you have a better chance of attaining a goal if you write it down.

I'll let you know how that works out.

Tomorrow.

I have a DREAM America!

Oh, sorry - carried away there, what I mean is;

I have a GOAL America!
