I am a LIAR

Yes you read that right, I am indeed, a liar. If you are my mother, you have known this for years. If you are anyone else, you may have suspected as much.

You see, once upon a time, I wrote that I would, and I quote "never switch to lowfat/fat free cheese, I love it too much"

But I was wrong. I have indeed switched. The reason? Simple. I am a cheese whore. I cannot control myself around cheese. Cheese is like the ex boyfriend you know isn't any good for you but damn the sex is great, so you keep going back for more. Not that I had any boyfriends like that, all the ones who were bad for me were also bad in bed, but I imagine that is what it is like. Thats how romance novels say it is, anyway. The point being I cannot control myself around cheese. I love it too much. In my house we have one rule: Don't waste cheese. I am not kidding. Ask Brian. Ask him what the rules of the house are.

We don't waste cheese.

Now that my salacious ways with cheese have been exposed, I have done the sensible thing. I have switched over to fat free or low fat versions of cheese. Its not an item I am willing to cut out of my diet completely, I will "settle" for a lighter version simply because I cannot get over cheese. I stalk it on facebook. I wonder who that other whore is with it, I text it in the middle of the night. "Hey baby, I got some bread and some butter and I am thinking about you xoxo"

I can cut out pizza, I can give up chocolate, I can give up sugar, sweets, butter, cream, milk, yogurt, chicken, steak, etc but I can not, give up cheese.

So there you have it, my public shame. I am a cheese whore. Give me a scarlet letter if you will. I wear it proudly.

Today is post 490- we are getting there!

Heavy Lifting

Tonight we are setting up a home office in our spare bedroom. We had that room originally as an office but then my brother in law moved in with us, so we moved the desk to our bedroom. Well I got lonely out in the living room all by myself so we moved it out there. And now, since we don't have anything going on in the spare bedroom, we are moving it back.

Tonight.

Exciting.

Except not.

This desk is huge! Its solid wood and an L-shape meaning its really really REALLY heavy. It comes apart into two sections, thankfully, so I will be able to help move. Wee! I have to clean out the desk too because its stuffed full of art books, computer books, computer related odds and ends and a ton of Brian's drawings. All said and done it would probably be about 150 lbs of stuff crammed into this desk. I couldn't be happier today.



I hope that I can lift my load tonight. I will have to. Now where am I going to put that futon and those bikes??? The bikes can go in our bedroom and I guess the futon can go in the living room where the desk currently is. Unless Brian wants to re-arrange the living room for more Kinect-related playspace. In which case the futon will stay in the office.


I like rearranging furniture its nice not to get stuck in a rut.

Does heavy lifting count as exercise?? No? Ah well, Dance Central it is.

Tonights dinner is chicken stir fry with brown rice, carrots and onion with soy sauce and ginger. I may put a few scrambled eggs in there as well. So far I've had 2 oz of sharp cheddar cheese (6 points) and 1 cup of my 3 point chili. I think I have enough points.

I am definitely noticing the difference in points. When I started I got 30 points a day. Now I get 28. I am definitely missing that extra 14 points a week but slowly starting to get used to it. I need to get going again, I have to make a list of things I have to do this weekend and make sure it's all done. I can't forget my head. It's vital
