Just sayin...

Do you have a friend who uses this term ALL THE TIME? Are you an offender yourself? I looked the phrase up on Urban Dictionary "A phrase tacked on to the end of any bigoted, biased, hurtful, wrong or simply stupid remark. The speaker tacks on the phrase with the intent absolving themselves of any guilt or argument over the statement."  
I never really noticed the popularity of this phrase until somebody used it on me.  I can't give a direct quote because I am still quazi friends with the person.  (Quazi?  I think I just made that up)  Well, anyway they said something pretty hurtful and followed it up with "Just Saying".  From that day forward, I have have been uber aware of its useage.  I hear it in daily conversations and see it often on Facebook.  I use it myself now, mostly to see if it provokes people or as an inside joke between the DH and I. 
Is there a phrase that irks you?  Tell me about it you big dork, Just sayin....

A new program...

Hey all, it's me, I'm back and I have news  to share!  I am going to be working with Dr Roizen on my weightloss.  Do you know who that is?  If not, are you living under a rock?     Google him!  Anyway, he has offered to coach me via email.  I have to send him my daily food journal and how many steps I take each day.  I also need to change my diet pretty significantly.  Some of the things I can't eat include trans and saturated fats, so no 4 legged animals and their fats.  No added sugars, syrups.  Only 100% whole grains.   This should be interesting.   I also need to work on reaching 10,000 steps a day.  I have to report total steps daily too.   Wish me luck!

I am still here...

I have such a hard time finding the time to blog right now, I am sorry.  I am still here and still on my weightloss journey.  The past month has been sort of rough.  I am following a few friends advice, one of them always says 'Do your best and forget the rest'.  The other says 'Just eat healthy 80% of the time, and you'll be fine'.  My eating has been fairly good, Sure I have my moments when I cave in to temptation, like the party last Friday night, I ate 2 cupcakes!!!  But, in the past I would have eaten the whole batch, hidden the evidence, baked a new batch and ate 6 of them too. 
The area that I am struggling with is exercise....   I have lot's of excuses.  Wanna hear a few?  Well, you see, Frodo started school and we used to take our family walks around 815 and didnt get home till after 9.  I want Frodo to have some down time and be in bed at 9.  And then you see, it gets dark earlier now.  When the hubby gets home from work around 630, we have dinner by 7 then you want the food to settle before walking so you're looking at 730 or 8 and the sun is already going down.  My hood has limited street lamps and pushing a stroller in the dark, crashing into huge cracks in the sidewalk is not fun for me or Sunshine.   And then.....  well you get the picture. 
So, I really need to step up my game.  I need some new motivation like my own Harvey from Celebrity Fit Club, or a workout buddy, a babysitter, a rich person who could sponser a gym membership....  LOL, any of those would be great! 
So, anyway that's my story and I hope to have more successes to share soon!   Thanks for hanging in there with me.
