Internet Absent

I wish I could say this started last week when I broke my wrist (more on that later), but I will not lie to you. Two weeks ago, Twitter was deleted from my iPhone by mistake. Huge mistake! [The hugest!] For those of you who do not know, I am a Twitter fanatic. A typical day consists of an average 10 tweets, and if it is an A-typical day when something ridiculous, exciting or ridiculously exciting happens, it is possible that I tweet every 5 minutes. There lies the beauty of Twitter. Simply drop a line (under 140 characters of course) whenever you would like to update the world on what you are doing. If only secret terrorist groups and America's Most Wanted could let us all in on their lives a little more...
I am usually doing the same thing on a different day. I damn Mondays, praise my sweetheart of a boyfriend, praise myself for exercising, damn myself for not eating well, and complain about traffic (Yes, I can drive and tweet - can't you?)
I digress...Twitter refused to be re-installed on my phone after it so harshly deleted itself from my life. It said my iPhone wasn't up to the current 3.0 version and I MUST update it prior to the addition (or re-addition) of TwitterFon (the app I use to stay "connected"). Ppl, I do not have time to figure out how to update to 3.0 and then wait while my iTunes updates any and everything that's changed since the last time I plugged in. I have put it off and put it off as if it would take more than 5 minutes of my precious time.
Somehow, the moment I lost touch, I decided to give up on my other internet outlets: Facebook, Blogspot, even my own e-mail has been shoved to the backburner.
I feel bad...people have tried to reach me via internet and I have been out-of-touch. At work, to avoid getting Virus #3, I have avoided going to personal sites and have stuck with Yahoo News and Weather.com. When I get home, surfing the internet just isn't top priority. Fixing dinner, taking my dog for a walk, and catching up with my man are numero uno(s).
Now, with the additional excuse of a broken wrist (I guess I better tell the story now) I feel that typing on a full keyboard or a phone keyboard, require too much movement of my carpals. Ok, so last Monday night I decided to go out with a friend of mine to watch some live music at Tolbert's - a restaurant/bar on Main Street in Grapevine. From there (many drinks later) we walked down to Chill, a bar I've heard much about. Unfortunately, I cannot recall my experience there, but am sure that I will give it another chance to make an impression. Walking from Chill to my friend's car (she drove me home), I tripped on the railroad tracks that run across Main St. and tried to catch myself with my hand. [FYI: this story was not remembered, but told to me by my friend the following morning]. I woke up Tuesday with a terrible pain in my right hand and discovered by x-ray I have a fractured Radius and two sprained fingers (pinky and thumb). The pain was agonizing, but even more agonizing is that I have to wear a stupid cast for 4-6 weeks. Goodbye Summer Swimming...I am such an idiot!
So far today, I have checked in with all my internet outlets - including you, Blogspot - and have high hopes to stay "in touch" this week.

Getting My fAt ASS back in shape

Okay, so here I go again! I am on a diet/exercise kick! I was doing so well..I was shedding pounds, I was getting toned, and I had gotten over not eating out all the time! But I came back from Belize (my goal to be fit for) and I hit a serious slump. I stopped worrying about my figure and lost interest in being fit more and more each day. It got even worse when I turned 21 last month because I had beer and mixed drinks at my finger tips. I stopped caring about calories, and I have watched my weight creep back up.

NO MORE! I am tired of yo-yo dieting and exercising. I do NOT want to be that person who is unhappy in ten years when i didn't make an active effort to get my booty in gear. Day 1 starts today: I've counted my calories so far, and I plan to run on my lunch break for 20-30 minutes.

After reading Shape magazine (such a good motivator) I decided to start cooking more fish! I like halibet, salmon, tuna, etc. and I know that they are all good for me. Bobby gets off work 2 hours before me and he can eat all of the Beanie Weanies and Toast that he wants: I will not settle for "easy" anymore. Also, I will be working out in the morning! He gets up at 7, while I sleep until 8. If I got up at 7 with him, I could have an hour to get in a good day-starter workout and a decent breakfast!! When school starts in the fall, I will be parking my car at a distance so that my chubby ass has to actually MOVE!

I'll keep you posted...
