Let me start this entry by saying that I don't think I'm fat. BUTT.... and unfortunately, it's a slightly bigger one.... I could stand to lose a few pounds and shape up as always! Yep, I've gained about 15 pounds since May. It all started with a change in walking shoes that lead to a problem with my feet, that then resulted in a problem with my knee.
To make a really long story short, I ended up with a physical therapist, or what I like to call an overpriced torture artist. This very large man would heat up my I.T. Band (google that if, like me you don't know what it is) then apply his full body weight in what he called massage. It kind of felt like being run over by a Mack truck, but slightly more painful!
When I got my IT Band unknotted, and my knee in better alignment, I decided to start working out again. While dancing with the stars, I twisted my ankle. Uncoordinated people like me shouldn't dance with the stars.... or at all probably!
So, the whole exercise thing has not been going my way! Like I said, the butt is bigger, the tummy is starting to hang over the top of my pants just the slightest bit..... I call it mini muffin top, my arms keep waving for approximately 3 seconds after I do and I'm afraid that if I don't make some changes soon, my pants will wear out were my thighs rub them together.
This is not a good state of mind to be in when they are demo-ing blenders at Sam's Club. I am not the type of person to make any expensive sort of purchases. I HATE spending money. It causes me tons of stress. I have to call for support from Eric for even $20 expenditures. But, somehow, I ended up with a $400 blender?!?!
I may have to start a new blog titled adventures in overpriced blending. So far, we have used this baby three times. The first was a disaster as bell peppers have much more flavor than you would think and don't taste good added into fruit smoothies! However, the next try was yummy and my kids even drank wheat germ without knowing it. I am making soup for lunch today with butternut squash.... I'll let you know how it goes!
