#IHateThisSh*t

Hola friends,

Much has been going on.  I’ve still been a little under the weather.  While no longer severe, it seems like my headaches are related to a lack of sleep and salt.  (D*mn it!  That means no sunflower seeds. 🙁 I’m so pissed about that.  At some point I’m almost positive I’ll give that snack another go.)  As far as sleep goes, I suppose at some point I’ll pass out from exhaustion.  On top of that I’ve had to begin the process of making some employment changes. Although I’m certain I want to go back to school to get my PhD, I have no idea what I want to do in the near future. Problem! I’m still getting used to the transparent nature of blogging so I’m opting to plead the 5^th on the details of this little saga until things start to pan out.

Those are some big question marks…. Now what I DO know is that spring is here which means warm weather and less clothes are in my future. (Stick with me.  This is going somewhere.)

This weekend I attempted to do a little shopping for some upcoming short trips in May.  SMH…. It wasn’t pretty.  Those weeks off from the gym are showing.

I have been approximately the same size in weight for many, many years now. Without giving lbs, I will say that I’m comfortably a size 2 or 4 given the material, design, etc. of a garment. I gladly take that. However, I’ve noticed that it seems like my weight is almost being re-distributed. I’m not making this up. And it’s all landing in my mid section.  Help! This is not cute.

No one looks cute with a potbelly. And yes…there is such thing as too much butt.

There are so many things to love about growing older. You’re independent, wiser, more established financially. But one thing I hate is the fitness/ health spectrum of the deal. WTF happens to your metabolism! I accepted about 10 years ago that exercise was a given if I wanted to maintain a certain weight. So I’ve been okay with weekly cardio workouts. But now – given this recent belly/ butt status – I have to be even more deliberate with exercise AND watch what I eat??!!!  #Ihatethisshit

I’m off now to pin-point the foods I need to “X” out or add to my diet. Off the top I know water needs to be added. BLAH! I really don’t like water but it’s great for my body and it would cut the empty calories and sugar I get from juice.

I’ll keep you posted. Did I say #Ihatethisshit ? Hash tag that!
