Tawny Kitaen Is Loser Of The Week

For trashing America’s Favorite TV Mom, Florence Henderson, on this weeks Surreal Life 6. Tawny Kitaen has been carrying a crazy vendetta for Flo the last few weeks. It all started when The Surreal Life cast got to play newscasters for a day at a local California television station. Florence played the part of an anchorwoman, while Tawny played a reporter in the field investigating a stolen weathervane. The Surreal Life producers bought a replacement for the missing weathervane and Florence asked Tawny what the cost of the new weathervane was. Tawny was not prepared for the question and became a “deer caught in the headlights”. She has blamed Florence ever since. This week, each of the castmates got a chance to host their own talk show. Tawny hatched a plan to to have Florence as a guest, and then to publicly humiliate her. It backfired completely on Tawny! When Tawny realized that the entire cast thought that she was an ass, she had some sort of psychosomatic sinus attack to gain some attention and sympathy. Tawny Kitaen is a classless, no talent, bitch.

What A Beautiful Good Friday

I have been so blessed with wonderful family and friends. I have had such wonderful experiences in my life and have shared in so much love. I am so grateful for this beautiful world that we live in. I felt so right in the world, out in the wonderful world of nature. I hope I always remember to pause and reflect back on how beautiful life really can be!

V For Vendetta

You actually have to pay attention to figure out what is going on. There was a little too much fighting that reminded me of The Matrix when I was watching it. Lo and behold, I get to the credits and find that it is by the same brothers that created The Matrix. I find it interesting that the story is based on a comic book series. The story is definitely not for kids! Comic books have apparently become very adult since the days of Archie! I was exceptionally delighted by its positive portrayal of gay characters…this was an unexpected bonus.

18th Week On The Diet

Current Weight: 259 lbs Weight Loss This Week: 1 lbs Total Weight Loss So Far: 6 lbs

I know, I know, I haven’t been keeping you posted. That’s because I haven’t been doing as well. I guess it will help me to share my successes and failures, but I just couldn’t get the gumption to write. I am still going to my diet meetings at HMR. What I don’t like about the program is that they appear to push their products all the time as the key to weight loss.  There are a lot of studies out there that suggest meal replacements really are an effective way to lose weight, but I want to do it with real food. I am also not that big of a fan of most of their products.  When I first joined HMR back in 1995, there was a lot less emphasis on their products and more ideas on eating low calorie foods.  I have always liked that approach and sadly have rebelled against HMR at their changes.  I still feel that I get a benefit by attending weekly meetings and making a phone call to my coach. It makes me more accountable as I have to gear up to be weighed once a week. I am exercising more now that the nice weather is more frequent. I just eat way too many snacks, especially at night! I really have to get out of the, “I’ve done a good job today, let me reward myself”, mentality. Why I think adding tons of calories to my diet is a reward I will never know. Well I am off for a walk. I will try to be more diligent in keeping the diet blog updated!
