This was taken at Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington! I love when I see something funny especially when it rhymes! I have to admit, I ignored their warning to get a little squeeza! 
So you're probably wondering why I have pictures of two cupcakes taped to my office cabinets! I consider them as my weight loss milestones. Someone told me that she uses candles to represent her goals, I just extended that to something more yummy looking (sadly, cupcakes are my most favorite dessert)! Staring at these delectable photos may be torturous, but they visually remind me that once upon a time those used to be attached to my ass. I'm not saying I gave up on cupcakes, I just don't eat as many! I will keep you posted as my office wall fills with more cupcakes! 
Last week, my coworkers and I went out for lunch at a sushi joint. As we were deciding what to eat, I turned my head and noticed the lunch specials on a chalk board and really wondered if anyone would order the 2nd item on the list, but I mean out-loud or amongst a group of friends?!? We were thinking how funny it would be if a guy ordered the Viagra Roll while on his first date or if one of the guys from work ordered it and then had to explain himself while walking around the office!
As you can see my power adapter for my iBookG4 laptop died on me (please send your condolences with $$ to my home in Chicago). Actually, this cord was really on its way out, I was just using it in this state until it finally could give no more. It has been like this for months, but I just refused to buy a new one (because they aren’t cheap)! Sadly, I started making adjustments to my life just to keep this cord surviving. I found myself talking to it, “C’mon! Mr. Cord stay alive, don’t go yet, it’s not time!” Usually, that was said when I was scrambling to get something done and trying to save the file as quickly as possible (I should mention that I have a habit of using the battery power until it’s gone, therefore the cord is the backup, not much of one, but it is). Another example is that if I wanted to use the laptop while in bed, I had to be careful about every slight movement because the cord only worked when it was in a certain position. It’s almost like when your lovable dog or cat is sleeping on your bed and you become a contortionist just so that your pet gets more rest than you do! Now, I’m waiting for my new power adapter to arrive, since I finally gave in and so did my wallet.
Lately I've been on the craziest Fiber Kick ever! Not sure what has obsessed me to want to cleanse my system out; perhaps it's related to my exercise program and something called New Years resolutions. I read that we require 25-30 grams of fiber each day! Whoa, now that's a Sh*t load of fiber (no pun intended)! I even found a fiber calculator that tells you how much fiber a person needs to consume based on your height, age and weight. I wish there was a calculator that stated how many cupcakes I need to eat, before I pass out (I love my cupcakes, but I’ll use that as another posting one day). Recently, I sadly switched from white rice to brown rice, which is driving me crazy considering I'm Asian and steamed white rice is a staple! So in honor of the switch, I made a card that says “I love brown rice” (I have to admit I don’t love it, but you know if you repeat something enough, you start to believe it).
Have you ever gone through your makeup bag searching for that one item you need each day even though you have a thousand versions of it, like lipstick or eyeliner? I seriously have no idea why I have so many tubes of mascara. They aren’t even old ones! You would think I was a makeup artist on a movie set with all these tubes! It’s not like I have several colors either. They are all jet-black and waterproof (which I have to wear because I’m part mermaid and it’s nice to look cute for all the other “fish in the sea”). The only difference is that some are for lengthening and others are for volume. Sadly, I’ve gotten into the habit of putting on one type and then layering on another brand to make my own perfect blend! How hard is it to get voluptuous lashes (to match my already voluptuous bottom half, you know so it all balances out like a Big Mac and a diet Coke)? Stay tuned, I’ll have more makeup dilemmas on this blog!
I have no idea how many journals I have and I have a stack of new ones that have not even been written in yet. My grandfather loved journaling so I’m sure I got it from him. I have journals that are diaries, wish lists, one for eating, etc. I have to admit it’s easier to write about your thoughts and dreams than it is to write about what you ate for lunch or at happy hour! I could easily start a blog about my trials & tribulations on how I lost 50 lbs, but guess what? I haven’t lost 50 lbs, so there goes that blog! The reason why I jot down what I’m eating is because I noticed a slower metabolism creeping up. Writing it down helps me figure out if I’m eating too much sugar, too many carbs, too much fat or just not eating (the “not eating” part doesn’t really exist). What I like about my food journal is that it puts me in my place (sometimes). Instead of eating 5 pieces of chocolate, I’ll eat one piece. I don’t like the idea of having to write the number of pieces I’ve eaten, so I’ll just eat one (I know for some of you, it would be difficult to stop at just one). There are definitely days where I break all the rules and my journal entry for the day reads like this, “ATE TOO MUCH!” C’mon people, I’m not a Foodie Goodie Two Shoes!
