I finished my 2nd book (LOVE SUCKS!) and turned it into my editor on Tuesday. That was a huge relief. I had been supremely stressed over the past few weeks, writing like a madwoman, only exercising intermittently and eating anything that didn’t run away from me. Not a very pretty sight, I assure you.
Last week, I started hitting the gym and the pavement again. Friday, Saturday and Sunday last week, I walked over 4 miles each day. Good, solid exercising. This week, I added in 2 days of the HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) on the elliptical. I alternated speeds 1 minute good pace/1 minute balls to the wall pace. I did that for 20 minutes, and then did regular pacing for the last 1o minutes. I added more ab work and changed up my weight routine some.
Barbie Hair Girl's twin
And I gained 2 lbs. Fuck a duck. Probably water. I know. But seriously, how damned depressing. I’ve been back on program for 10+ days (minus the accidental beer drinkage on Wednesday) and I’m +2. (maybe the accidental beer drinkage has something to do with that? Nah! Couldn’t be!)
I’ve decided to blame Barbie Hair Girl for my weight gain.
I know I’m aging myself, but do y’all remember Lucy Ewing from the tv show Dallas? That’s Barbie Hair Girl. Seriously. She has this horse’s mane of head of hair, perfectly curled and cascading (it cascades, trust me) all the way down to her perfectly rounded butt. And she doesn’t even put it in a horse tail where it belongs. No. She let’s it cascade, while she glistens.
The thing is, she’s definitely fit. When she pulls her flowing locks of loathing off her neck, you can see her toned shoulders and back. And like I said, her ass is a work of art. But damn, I hate her and her stupid hair.
I’ve been so sparkly at the gym lately, I think I scared her away. My goal is to sparkle so brightly next time, that I melt her hair off her head.
This week has put me behind in my goal of -15 by March 15. (race day) Damn, damn, damn. but I’m going to just keep on trucking. I usually give up when I plateau like this. I refuse to give up this time, no matter what.
So as my good pal CK pointed out, BITE ME! is now available for pre-order. I can’t thank y’all enough for the show of support and love y’all have all given me. Seriously, my heart is full.
Y’all have a great weekend!

I hate your flippy hair girl’s flippy perfect hair.
But I’m crazy excited about your book. WOOOOO HOOOOO!
Ooo… Lucy Ewing hair. I had forgotten about her beautiful hair.
SPARKLE – HZ, cuz 2 lbs is nothing sister except water weight. YOU are better than that and the 15 pounds is totally do-able now that your deadline is done.
