FDR, Stalin, Pelosi, and Obama

If you want to believe it or not those four people mentioned in my title all have something in common.

I have not been actively blogging about any political news because I have just been so sick about it. I have emailed senators but since I was able to just register to vote I have been emailing both Utah and Maryland.

I am a HUGE fan of www.drudgereport.com. He is fair and balanced and the website is more of a clearing house for news links. (P.S. Bill Clinton wanted to silence him because he broke the news about Monica and old Billy having their affair.)

Anyways, I was just reading about the different things and one of the headlines was for how even though the Senate is 60% Democratic that the Health Care reform bill that was pushed through the House in a sneaky vote will be DOA on the Senate floor. Even Libermann, (D), said in clear conscience he will not vote for the bill. So we can't rest on our laurels but we do have the ability now to at least breath, ever so slightly.

I am really bad at actually getting a link to post correctly but I will try. If you get a moment read this, but read down through the comments as well. NOTE: They do a good job at censoring swearing but people are tricky and will use symbols in the place of letters so that they still can spell out words.

Here is the quote:

I chose one that I thought was good and that I TOTALLY agree with!


"We need to roll back 60+ years of socialism in this country! Kill this government health care bill. Stop taxing the rich, they are the real America, not those poor slobs at the public feeding trough, always looking for a handout. Let's return to good old self-reliance and the American way!

Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Unemployment, Disability, these are all socialist programs for poor slobs that have no right to be on god's green earth. They should be swept into the garbage bin with the rest of the trash."

Quick update: i tweaked my back again, though not as bad so exercise is out. But I ate fairly well and stayed under 1500 calories!

It's day 10 and I haven't done anything!

I was supposed to be keeping you up on the boring daily exercise and calorie going ons but since both of those things have been ignored in favor of soups and laying with a heating pad on my back I have nothing to say about it except that I really have no character.

I hurt my back about a month ago and it's not been right since. I can't seem to sit in the same position very long with out it burning and hurting so I have not risked exercise too much because I just started a new job and can not miss any days during training. But as Scarlett once said, "Tomorrow is another day" and I will be better tomorrow. I need to just go out and enjoy this beautiful fall weather and walk around the block or something.

I have lost some weight around my pudgy middle because I have been in such a mood for soup since fall has come. I am making homemade chicken noodle soup next weekend and am quite excited for it. Fresh garden carrots from my roommates parent's garden, homemade noodles, and chicken stock from a chicken I roasted. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Ok, so are you all ready for promise number 2? Monday I will start with the bland postings of just trying to become a better me.

Day 1.

So today was not as successful as I would have liked but it was better than most.

So calorie count was 1,900. That is over what I was shooting for but I believe it is lower than what I usually consume.

I had a little inspiration. I was reading an older magazine from about a year ago that mentioned a lady that lost 89 pounds just by walking 45 minutes a day and watching her calorie count. She didn't worry about eating all the right things like brown rice, all her veggies, fruits, or staying away from red meat. She made that switch AFTER she had already started making better choice. Basically she said that she didn't want to concern herself and get bogged down with everything because it was too overwhelming. But she just did what she could and looking at the pictures she looks so good!

It was really an eye opener.

I get too worried about eating all the right things that when I fail in one area I just give up. One of these days I might be able to do the Zone Diet but right now I just have to concentrate on eating the lesser of the two evils and everything will work out in the end.

One baby step at a time!

Taking a moment to smell the pine tree.

I have a lack of followers and the three I do I have I might be losing because starting October 1, I am giving myself a challenge. A post a day for 31 days but along with an musings I can come up with I will be giving you the very boring daily calorie and exercise regime. Please don't stop reading! Please be an encouragment to me. I am working on finding discipline and if I know its a public display of shaming I am more likely to do it.

Arrested.....

At times do you ever feel so inadequate?

I feel that I lack a good roundness of character.

There are those people that make you feel completely and utterly comfortable. You know the people I am talking about, those people that seem to have this aura of warmth and comfort. If they were a smell they would be fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies or thick wheat bread. I feel that I am more a moldy piece of unwanted fruitcake.

Now I should be ashamed of myself because we heard a wonderful message today in church. It was a very basic message from John 3:16 which resulted in the snatching of one soul from the hell fire.

Oh and if anyone has any suggestions on how to start developing a heightened sense of discipline please let me know.

Please tell me that ten's of thousands of people aren't the voice of America!

I cried reading the story because the voice of ten's of thousands of people can't be shut out.

My only desire is to be there.

Late night hot chocolate

I know this is totally random but I just love love love late night text chats with my best friends.

We solved one universal problem that we both have with guys: We give too much and they give too little. But it will be a problem that we will probably always have because love is not supposed to have any boundries or end.

Hug that special gal that you can spill your secrets to. Because she will be there when the guys won't be!

Have you ever had an awakening? I have and it is going to be interesting in which direction it takes me.
