I smell something burning. OMG the garbage is on fire!!!! No seriously FIRE!!!!!

So my bedtime snack was going to be a small bag of popcorn. I ended up over cooking it. Badly. So I decided to toss it and start a new bag. This time I was staying with it just to make sure it didn't burn.  Oh we are a ll glad I did. The smell of bur popcorn made me turn on the stove fan. A minute later the smell gets drastically worse and I look over to see smoke coming out of the paper bag we use as our garbage bag. I immediately pick it up and carry it outside and toss the popcorn bag onto the walkway. Bad idea. Right underneath is a paper towel which suddenly bursts into orange embers. I calmly rush inside and grab a large cup of water and head back out to dump it on it. In the mean time despite the rain the embers continue to grow. I then head back in and grab a large pitcher of water rush back out and tear the bag open and drown it. Repeat that times 3 just to be safe and embers are gone. The house isn't on fire and now I have to clean up a pile of garbage outside in the dark and in the rain. Oh this late night snack so wasn't worth it. 


On the bright side the 2nd bag of popcorn came out perfectly.

Fun Times

Today was one of those awesome days. I got to go walking with a girlfriend for a few hours.  Our childish nature left us playing in the park for a bit longer than we should have. Then we grabs some food ( tri-tip and salad.) and headed back to her place. I got to hang with her and family for the afternoon and may I say that there's an act in the making. What kind? I'm not sure.  That's up to her.  And I managed to play Wii fit a bit.  *Shrugs* Well while sitting down on her couch. 


I think the worst of it was that it decided to rain mid afternoon. :( No park time for us even though we tried.  And I maintained within my points as of now.  Woohoo.


Coming up in my weight-loss program  is a new system in Weight Watchers for us Americans.  Stinking Europe. After several hours of googling I think I managed to find an idea of how it'll work.  But it's still very vague.


(Slight intermission.)


Okay with more research I found out it's called Pro Points and that it requires a bit more math than before. Hopefully And most likely WW will have one for us lazy people.  As I continue to scour the web I keep finding more in-depth stuff. And it all looks good. Only 4 weeks till we get the truth from WW. As it is our normal meeting day lands on my uncles wedding. Oops. Now to continue the hunt for a date.


Good night to all.

I Will Excercise Daily; Even If It Kills Me

Okay I am on day 4 of my personal goal of working out daily. I keep falling off the wagon and having to start over. *Groans.* This will happen . My first goal is to hit 14 days in a row without missing a day.


My current workout habits are walking and swimming. I hope to expand those into a more verity of exercises. I've already lost over 25 lbs. in the last 3 months and in 3 months from today I have a family wedding to go to and my goal is to loose another 20 lbs. by then.




It'll take everything I have to loose that weight by December, but I want to be another dress size smaller by then too. So to looking H.O.T. (Healthy, Outgoing & Toned) by the new year.

Becoming H.O.T. by December

Currently working on anagrams for H.O.T. Currently it's Healthy, Outgoing & Toned. I've been on Weight Watchers for about 4 months now and that was step 1 in me becoming healthier, I've also been working out off and on for the last couple months and I need to get  stricter on my workouts.  So I now am going to attempt to blog about my progress in hopes that will get me going more.
