Just a little vent.....

Those that know me, know when I eat right and follow a plan they way it should be followed, I follow it without fail. So when people say things like Weight Watchers didn't work for me or Atkins is all about eating cheeseburgers, I get defensive! Maybe a little to much. So yesterday someone made both of those comments. If I remember correctly, when I did Atkins 5 years ago, I never touched a cheeseburger, piece of pork bacon, whatever. I followed the book, from the first two weeks to everything that should be followed. Just got to a point, where it was to restrictive traveling as much as I do. So I just went back to eating WHATEVER. But this poor girl, I jumped down her throat. I know I shouldn't have. But I hate it when people think they are following a plan and they aren't. So then later on someone asked the points of something on Weight Watchers and that they weren't following WW because they didn't want to be told what to eat, but they were just wondering what the points were. When I follow WW, like last year, or I am trying to do again, I eat what I want. WW is about learning correct portion size and learning whats important. I never didn't eat what I want. I built it into my day, if it meant my daily points, my weekly points or I had to work out a bit more to pay back those point. SIMPLE as that! I remember splurging at Sonic, special dinners, whatever. I just wish people would figure out if they want to follow a plan, learn what the plan is all about that's all....

Anyway... the winter is upon us here in Cleveland. (Did we even really get a summer, really????) My yard is covered in snow and I hate it. I hate the fact that I hate going out when it gets cold. I become a hermit for months. I sleep, eat and not much else. Scott said last night unless I am officially diagnosed with SAD, he wasn't taking me for a weekend in Arizona in Jan or Feb. MMMM... wonder what the doctor would say.... LOL... I'll probably just hold off for Utah in May. I just have to get past this and deal with it. I live in Cleveland, I have to move on with my life and do things. I cant let this get to me!!!!!!

Sorry....

I just haven't made the time to get out here and write whats been going on. I've been to 'busy' playing on facebook. Yeah, now I am a gamer over there. That needs to stop.
Not much has gone on really...
We went out with Kristie and Lenny to the winery for dinner one night. Had a really nice time with them and Logan is getting SO BIG!
We went to the benefit concert at House of Blues for Josh. Mark Wills,Burning Vegas and American Rockstar all played. Burning Vegas totally rocks and I can't wait to see another one of their shows. Mark Wills, great country singer. American Rockstar, wasn't bad, just didn't get me like Burning Vegas did. I won two CD's (Mark Wills & Darryl Worley) and a bunch of Brigton Jewelry. All the proceeds went to Holly and Thea.
This past Saturday we went to a fundraiser with Diana, her brother Ronnie & his wife Kim, & Diane, her husband. It was for Ronnie & Kim's son Jason for his traveling baseball team he is on. We had a great time. I didn't win anything, but still had fun with friends! Walking into the place, there was a women standing outside, that I just knew who it was when I saw her. I hadn't seen her in years. Thinking back, its probably been at least 10 years. It was Anita, who was in my wedding. I think the last time we saw her was her wedding to Tom. She has two kids now, seems happy. I just wish we would have had more time to catch up and chat, but Tom is one of the coaches, so she was running around helping. But it was good to see her.
Thanksgiving we are going to Charlotte for a couple of days. Really just to get some Dinner at Lancasters. I cant even say its for Barbecue pork, because mine is better. It's their hushpuppies! It will be worth the trip and it will be fun. Its been a couple of years since we made it down to Charlotte for Thanksgiving.
Thats all I got for now!
Oh and what 45 days till Christmas??????heeee...
