I am googleable. And easy to find. And I tell people my blog URL like I want them to read this or something.

What’s up with that?

It makes it so much harder when you want to post something like, “How the hell am I going to lose 10 lbs before my 20 year high school reunion, and what am I going to wear?”

Followed by the observation that really, 10 lbs, only gets me back down to pre-pregnancy weight, not say for example, wedding weight. And 25 lbs — wedding weight — ain’t happening in the next 7 weeks. Probably ever. Especially if I keep giving in to the chocolate impulses. And I am not so good at denying the chocolate impulse.
Anyway, if the whole weight drama is right here on the Internet for the whole graduating class to read — granted, those of you who already read don’t care, and those that might possibly judge probably won’t read about it. Still and all, it makes pretending like I’m normally all hot and skinny a singularly fruitless exercise.

Still, I’m thinking about it, and also about the fact that I have nothing to wear.

For the 10 year, I had a fabulous dress: sleeveless, princess seams, white with large water-color-esque tulips scattered over it. This time, I am not seriously considering sleeveless, although I am always up for princess seams.

(That reminds me, is it a fashion faux pas to wear plaid shoes with a striped shirt? They’re both mostly light blue with a little bit of white and pink.)

Anyway, the partial answer is that I am participating in a Curves study, where in exchange for them testing me before and after, and a $20 refundable deposit, I get 3 weeks of their proprietary workout for free. That starts Tuesday.
And I am going back to tracking fruit and veggies for your reading pleasure.

Fruit & Veg, 6/7: ~1.25 cups raw carrots, 1/2 cup spinach with a few other random veggies
