This weekend
was simply TOO FATTY for me!! Oh my gosh, all those years of dieting and
exercising and I find myself staring at a number I thought was long past behind
me, in my rearview mirror and out of sight! Holy cow, I had the weekend of all
weekends!!
This Saturday
was my niece’s first birthday, so, of course, she got the celebration no one in
my family had gotten for at least two decades already! My family decked out the
house, there was candy and cakes everywhere, lemonade and sprite as beverages.
As for the cakes, MAN!!, my young sister’s maid of honor studied pastry making
in Paris, where she met her baker husband. He, now, makes cakes professionally
and she raises their baby and bakes cakes. She baked 5 layered cake for the
adults of the party and then an organic carrot cake that the kids could eat!
This thing was B-E-A-U-tiful and bountiful!! After that, came another birthday
ice-cream cake for another member of the family, just after beef noodle stew at
Bull Demon King in Diamond Bar. I’m telling you, feast of feasts!!
Sunday found us
at two very heavy eating and emotional events! I had lunch at Hot Spot for our
special little family gathering for the Lunar New Year! We had soup, meat,
vegetables, and more! It was wonderful, hot, and soothing for our soul. There
were red envelopes, red meat, and happy red cheeks of full stomachs! And then,
it was SUPER BOWL SUNDAY time!! As I rooted for my Panthers and witnessed
fumbles and brilliant high-jumping plays, it was only natural to snack all the
while, right? Oh my gosh, the first party I went to had meatballs, meat, guac
and chips, salsa, other dips, other foods, burgers and hot dogs, and beverages
galore!! The second had less, but we got there late, so most of it was already
eaten, thankfully! I had a Coke Zero and went home for hot tea to cleanse my
system! As for what I thought about the halftime show… Well, Coldplay was okay,
Bruno Mars should have performed something newer, and Beyonce was, as usual,
the Queen, despite her slight misbalance that she recovered beautifully from.
No one does it like her. No one.
And in two
days, I woke up this morning 5 lbs heavier than usual. That’s BAD!! Luckily, I
think today I’ll be able to detox and fast enough to get my weight back down.
Well, that’s what I thought, until the Girl Scout Cookies I’d ordered last week
came in today! They sit on my desk, two boxes of samoas and 2 boxes of thin
mints! MY GOODNESS, my sugar levels must be soaring as of now!! I just need to
stop eating them, close the boxes, put them out of sight, and I’ll be fine. …
Right?
For the rest of
today, it’s all about tea and water for me. Nothing but light foods that are
high in fiber and low in carbs. Yes, that’s what I’m up to. How was your
weekend and did your team win?
*Note to
Panthers and Broncos out there: I don’t
do sports anymore. I can and I understand the game, the problem is that I get
aggressive and emotional when I watch the game. I tend to lash out, shout
things, or feel some sort of unhealthy attachment that can get me in trouble
during the game, which is why I don’t follow it anymore. But on big game days,
like the Super Bowl, as long as it’s once a year, I will watch it and be a part
of this American cultural event!
Now, ahead
comes the Single Awareness Day… yup… Valentine’s Day (Check out EventBrite’s
listings!!). I think I’ll grab a single friend and head to the Aquarium of the
Pacific… or maybe somewhere else to have dinner. Who knows? I just know I don’t
want to feel it. *Sigh… Chris Pine, come and find me!! Save me from this lonely
day!!
NEW PODCAST
COMING SOON!! LOOK FORWARD TO ME TALKING SPORTS WITH ED ON COTANGENT!!!
