Day Old Blues

The title of this piece happens to be a Kings of Leon song title, surprising, huh? But, their lyrics have alot of truth. I won't post them because they are a tad racy, but if you are interested, google the magnificent works of my kings. I had yet another rude customer preaching to me about donating to Haiti, this specific gentleman was complaining because his medicaid for hospital stays still includes a copay of $200 or so. He then told me that we cannot even afford to feed children on food programs such as his. This man has 11 children. On a slightly less depressing note,

Today marks day three of what I am calling "The Great Weight Race" at Fashion Bug. After being tricked by our sneaky scale to think that I had miraculously lost 7 lbs overnight, yes, literally overnight, I'm a tad discouraged already. Maybe the little sleuth is paying be back for avoiding him for so long...
Everyone has been asking "what diet I'm doing" and I've chose not to follow a set diet, but more of a set of what I like to call "boundaries". Here are my boundaries:
1.) 1200 calories a day
2.) eating more natural things, very little processed
3.) no meat except seafood
4.) heart healthy things (low salt and low fat)
5.) only whole grains and low fat dairies
6.) If I crave something, I eat a tiny bit of it or I will attack someone.
7.) have one cheat meal a week
These have worked out well for me so far, I have only used number 6 three times, once each day. By this I mean; one single lonely dorito, a tiny cupcake with barely any icing and two painfully small bites of delicious butterfinger pie from the Holiday.
So wish me luck as the weekend arrives because I am making two cakes, possibly attending two Joe's parties and a visit at Cindy and Jay's who always seem to have my exact favorite foods. The small town comfort food that I imagine as the hunger monster on the Weight Watchers commercial is winning as of tonight....

Here is a picture of KOL at the grammys last week, they won 3 out of their 4 nominations. I can't help but show them off!
