I love saying that word...SKRECTH! Like stretch but with a 'k' in place of the first 't'. It made me smile thinking of how I used that word when we had to do our crazy group PT stuff in Germany...and just as everyone planted their sour "I don't want to do this crap" faces on, I would yell out "SKRECTH!" and get a few smiles from at least a few people...others, not so much, but I didn't care...it made me smile.

Anyhoo...the past four days have gone well. I managed to finish all of my History and Writing homework, which was an amazing accomplishment. What are these professors thinking giving us all of this work? Don't they know we students have husbands and work and ahem, SHOPPING we have to tend to? Whattup wit dat?!? Eh well, I guess I gotta eduma-cated somehow...Three more weeks of history and I will never have to take another history class again! Woo hoo! I still have 7 weeks left of this writing class left, but several more writing classes to go before the degree is done...but that's not so bad...I like to write.

Weekend was great. I went to a Halloween party on Saturday and dressed up as Olive Oyl. That's right, I'm speaking of Ms. Oyl from Popeye...and you guessed it, Jason was Popeye. It was fun. People laughed AT us, but I know that secretly they were wishing they had our costumes...Here's a pic:

The costumes also made appearances during our Monday night bowling league. Oh yeah, I felt a draft up my skirt, but that night, I bowled the best I have the whole 8 weeks! Looks like I've set a trend...next week I just might wear my old Wonder Woman costume...with it, I might bowl a 300!

On to something completely different...I have decided to try an experiment with my eating. I have always enjoyed exercise, but my diet has always plagued me. Even when I have dieted and exercised like crazy, I haven't gotten the results that I've wanted so...I recently read a book Master Your Metabolism. This books suggests that all the pesticides and hormones that are added to our foods could be the reason I haven't been effectively been losing the weight I know I've worked my hiney off for. So it suggests almost all Organic eating. Now in the last week and a half or so, I stopped my workout just as an experiment and am pretty much eating all Organic. I got on the scale this morning, and it shows that I have dropped a few pounds already. Now could that be a coincidence? I dunno, but I am at least happy to see the numbers go down...if only slightly. Perhaps it will take a good amount of time for me to notice some real effects of taking as many of the hormones out of my food as I can. We'll see. Additionally, I am doing a supplement based body detox and cleanse...and without going into too many details, I have also noticed a change in some bodily functions...which is great. Again, we shall see how things turn out long term...but for now, 90-95% of the time, I plan to eat (and have been eating) Organic. I hope this will help propel me through this everlasting weight stall I have been having despite the fact that I was working out a lot and eating as healthy as I thought I could. Wish me luck y'all!

This was my dinner tonight. Very healthy homemade pizza. And NO, I didn't eat it all in case you were wondering. It's going to be part of my lunch for tomorrow. Yum-o! The first one was portabella mushrooms, fresh mozerella, basil, a splash of olive oil and garlic (wanna smell my breath?). And the second was just red sauce, turkey pepperoni and mozerella cheese. I had a taste for both:

I think it's about time for me to hot the sack-a-roo....

Goodnight, and thanks for stopping by....
