I've gained soooooooooo much weight...Day 1

As of today or rather the beginning of the week I have decided to lose weight. It'll be a challenge for me since I'm a "snacker" and compulsive eater. I'm one of those that could probably be over weight easily and that's bad for my size.

The reason why I want to try is because like those that go on those weight loss programs it's because they're unhappy with the way they look. I've tried to cut down on the soda and the sugary drinks.

So starting today I'm going to post everything that I have eaten. Just a list for each meal as well as snacks.

Breakfast:
- 2 Dannon yogurts (the small packs)

Lunch:
- small salad - lettuce, croutons, ranch dressing
- rice noodles
- black bean salad - black beans, corn, onion, vinaigrette dressing
- soup -rice, cilantro, celery
- tea - green
- cereal with milk - 1 small box of rice krispies and 1 special K

break:
- 1 chocolate chip cookie
- 1 diet coke 12 oz

snack:
- granola bars - 1 pack 2 bars
- bread bun
- 1 cup soy chocolate milk

dinner:
- soup - 2 bowls pumpkin
- rice - 1/2 bowl or 1/3
- veggies - greens
- 3 - 4 pieces of pork

Horoscope: Something small riles you up and makes you wish for a world or system that's more in line with your ideals. It's a great time to work for positive change -- politically or within the workplace.

As I was at the park waiting for Bonds to bat I asked my friend, what if he doesn't hit it tonight? Do we come back tomorrow? My friend said, we just have to get through this game and then see. He hit it. I was in shock. I couldn't believe that I saw it in person at the park.

It was crazy. Everyone was taking pictures at every at bat. You could see the flashes going off all over the stadium. It was packed. I couldn't believe it. After Barry gave a speech it was business as usual. He stayed in for one more inning and then he was pulled from the game. He was glad that he did it before school started and that his family was there to see it.

All of us were glad that the reporters were going to leave and we could have our park back. The nationals were great because they were ok with it happening in a way. This was one night I wasn't going to forget for a long time.

Horoscope: Do you need to reach someone who is notoriously reclusive or bad about answering messages? Now is the time to get them on the phone or get them in person. It might take some doing, though, so be tenacious!

Getting old...er...

As I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth I notice something white in my hair. I thought it couldn't be a white hair could it? I finish and then I pluck out what appears to be a white hair. It's funny since I haven't spotted one in a while.

What is the cause of this one white hair? Stress? Yes, because work has been kicking my ass.

Horoscope: Your extended family is playing a role in the day's events -- or at least in your thoughts. Whether you're tightly knit or strewn apart, there are links that can't be denied. Open up to a new connection.

Mark Sweeney is such a doll...

I got to the ballpark already for a great game and go my usual way to my seats. Tonight was different. I saw Mark Sweeney in a t-shit and shorts and flip flops. It was weird.

I was walking past the clubhouse when I heard someone say, "Hi sweetheart."

My first reaction was, who knows me and why are they calling me sweetheart?

I turned around and saw Mark standing there talking to someone. I had to do a double take and think for a moment who it was.

I said, "You look different."

He said, "I'm not wearing a uniform?"

I said, "Yes, that's park of it."

He was wearing an orange or black t-shirt with Mike Murphy's face on it. It said "Master Murph's clubhouse" I think.

He talked to me for a while and then I said bye to him. I was on a high that game. He was so nice to me. He stopped talking to whoever he was talking to to ask me how I was. He will always be my favorite player.

Horoscope:Your blistering enthusiasm for what you believe in is more powerful than ever -- and if you want to make things happen, today is the day to do it. Your emotional conviction will persuade others to see things your way, so go for it! There is no point in keeping all that power to yourself. If you jump into things heart-first, you stand a greater chance of making your mark. This is no time for hesitation. Just be careful not to let your listening skills be hampered by your passion.
