Salad Please!

Are you one of those people that love salads but hate to fix them? Well me too. I absolutely love all the mix greens and as many fixings as I can get but I just don't want to get in gear and make it. Yeah, yeah, I know they are good for you and it sounds like I'm lazy, but guess what? You are undoubtedly correct on this one hot shot!

Suppliers go out their way for us to make it as convenient as possible but we still just don't get it. They prepare the greens to go straight from the bag to your lovely flower painted bowl but that's not good enough. So they take it a step further with the wonderful chopped and sliced ready veggies for us lazy people. What wrong with us? Well, this is why so many of us are overweight. Get off the couch girl and grab a head of lettuce and workout! Pick up those lettuce heads and act like they are weights that will set you free from the double digits dress size and your double chin. You know you want to be free. You've been looking for freedom nearly most of your life unless your metabolism races faster than an Olympic Sprinter. Nevertheless, we all can use some motivation to get moving and I'm not talking about picking up that extra drumstick.

Another friend that you may want to stop by occasionally are
carbohydrates better known as "fat stickers," at least in my world. Now not all carbohydrates are your enemy just those with no color to them. When you add a little color and text also known as wheat and whole grains you now rock! But don't take my word do a little research or test it out and see if it works for you but you know you have to slow down, better yet just leave "Sweetie" at home for a while.

We live in a world where we want things now because we are too business to either wait or simply slow down. So the next time you want that scrumptious salad, do yourself and your waistline a favor, back away from the TV and make it yourself! Now go take on the "Real Sweet Spirit."


P.S. Don't forget get fiber. He's looking for your too!

Lumps and Pumps

Now that we have your new slinging red shoes, lets work on the outfit for that hot date with the new love of your life you will met during your trip to the islands. You know you have to look good girl to cover up all that junk. Junk? Yes I said it, "Junk!" Let's talk...

We pack on lots of unwanted lumps and pumps in all the areas everyone can see, that is if you don't know how to cover it up. We have learned to tuck, push, and hide our extra pounds because you know you are not going to give up Mama's homemade vanilla bean ice cream and her delicious chocolate fudge cake. Mmmm calories here I come!

We love our food so much we call it fast food. You know fast foods, you met them last night when you were driving home from school or work. We also know "Late Night Snacks." They are the ones that continue to call your name when your are either watching TV, tossing and turning in an attempt to get some zzzz, or maybe you encountered them while sleep walking. Regardless of how you connect with them you know you should just walk away since "Lumps and Pumps" are just around the corner. Girl how are you going to fit in that new outfit?

Okay, so you think you can do it. Well you can lose it if you just get in touch with you know, "Will Power!" Some of us have it and some of us got to find it. Honey you must track down "Will Power" and hunt for it like you did those red shoes for "Traveling Light or Not." Use your cell phone, email, network, just do what you must to find it! While you are at it don't forget to pick up "Mr. & Mrs. Weights" because they are the key elements to you looking good for your fine new companion.

Now that you are relaxing under the blazing sun on the beautiful island waiting for your new love, just remember to go easy on the eats because one set of lump and pumps can always become two and perhaps three. Go take on the "Real Sweet Spirit."

Traveling Light, or Not…


Ready, set, go! Not so fast. Traveling light takes time, careful planning, a road map, and red shoes. You may ask why red shoes? Simply said, they depict time and preparation when traveling light. So get that credit card and let’s find those red shoes!

It takes a lot of time and effort to find a good looking and comfortable pair of red shoes just as a well fitting bra. One must possess a wonderful attitude and a good pair of walking sneaker to search for the infamous red shoes and don’t forget to bring patience along. Remember when red shoes where a dime a dozen as well as white shoes? And by the way what does it take to find a quality pair of leather shoes these days? It seems tire track vinyl material have taking over the steps. Get out the way I’m looking for leather! I love leather shoes, their like a relationship that lasts a life time. You can pass them down from generation to generation or at least from sister to sister and possible a cousin or two if you’re lucky. Leather, when are you coming home?

News flash “Red Shoes gets a bad rap.” What do you mean? Have you every worn a pair of red shoes with a black dress and it happens to be a Friday when it’s Girls night out? Likely, some fashion police in much early times made this a taboo and people are still trying to exercise this strange rule. You can only imagine that the person must have worn this ensemble in poor taste and could not live it down so they passed it on to society to perhaps elevate their sagging ego.
Its called "gets a life!"

The absolute solution to traveling light is to just let go girl! You don’t need those extra jeans and panties weighing you down only to be charged an extra fee if you must endure the ridiculously low weight limit of the carriers. Be free! Besides, you know you are going to buy more stuff you may only use or wear one or two time if that.

Now that you are prepared and equipped for your journey, let’s go and take on the
“Real Sweet Sprit.”
