THE GREATEST THING HAPPENED TODAY. YES, WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL DAY AT THE LAKE. MY KIDS GOT ALONG WONDERFULLY TOGETHER WHICH WAS SO NICE. INDEED, MARC EVEN GOT PAID AND AN EXCEPTIONALLY TIGHT MONEY MONTH FINALLY ENDED. HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT WHAT MADE ME SO HAPPY. IT WAS A MOMENT AT LAKE MERIDIAN.
ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. I STOPPED EATING ALL WHITE SUGAR AND WHITE FLOUR. I WORKED OUT 6 DAYS A WEEK AND WAS A EVEN A 'RUNNER' FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, EVER. I LOST WEIGHT AND FELT GREAT. AND NOW? WELL.....
WE MOVED TO WASHINGTON, I HAD AN EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY 2 YEARS WITH LUNG PROBLEMS...AND WELL, IT WAS NOT AS MUCH OF A PRIORITY AS IT ONCE WAS TO WORK OUT AND EAT HEALTHILY, I WILL NOT BORE YOU WITH MY MANY REASONS SINCE TO SHELF THESE HARD WON HABITS, SUFFICE IT TO SAY, I HAVE NOT BEEN AS SUCCESSFUL SINCE.
WHY WAS I SO HAPPY TODAY? I SAW THE GUY FROM 'THE BIGGEST LOSER'. HE WAS THE ONE WHO WON. HE WAS IN A WET SUIT AT THE LAKE DOING SOME LAPS. AS HE CAME OUT OF THE WATER, I RECOGNIZED HIM! UNBELIEVABLE. HE WAS,...... TO PUT IT KINDLY, "VERY BUOYANT" AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
I'M EVIL. I AM BAD. IT WAS WRONG, BUT I WAS SO HAPPY!!! ITS NOT JUST ME!!! HE WON A MILLION BUCKS FOR LOSING THE MOST WEIGHT. I DID NOT WIN ANY MONEY, BUT HE AND I WERE BOTH BACK TO OUR FORMER PHYSIQUES. GRANTED, HE WAS EXERCISING, WHILE I WAS SITTING WITH THE DOG WATCHING MY KIDS SWIM, BUT, I WILL TELL YOU IT MADE ME SMILE AND GRAB A BREATH OF RELIEF THROUGH MY BATTERED LUNGS.
ITS A PITIFULLY INSECURE AND LOW LIFE REACTION TO SOMEONES FAILURE, I'LL CONFESS. STILL, IT MADE MY DAY IN A HOWEVER EVIL AND VALIDATING WAY! THANKS BIGGEST LOSER GUY IN THE WETSUIT FOR FORAGING A BRIDGE TO 'NORMALCY' BETWEEN TWO STRANGERS PLAGUED BY THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE!
