eating with friends

Yes, Jenny and Gail, I want a muffin, and Ralph's Rocky Road ice cream - all yum!

When I lose 7 more pounds (maybe 3-4 weeks - my metabolism is a very strange thing and is quite unpredictable) I will be to an intermediate weight-loss goal, and on that day I will eat:

• a muffin! (the exclamation point indicates none of that low-fat bran crap, either)
• pizza - and not the healthy vegetable stuff from Trader Joe's - I'm going to that pizza place over by Tapioca Express by where I used to live - is it Capone's - and I'm getting the house special with all the fatty meats, and I'm eating FOUR SLICES - until I'm very full
• Hm ... maybe I'll have to get a mango snow bubble while right beside Tapioca Express
• then later, when able to eat again, I'll have Ralph's Rocky Road ice cream

Do I have a posse to join me??

Today I'm going to BoBo's with Michele, despite my discomfort. She tells me that the owner has quite a crush on me (asks if I'm seeing anyone, where I am, etc.). He has been living with a woman for years - and I think I already established here clearly that I will be no man's deputy wife! - I'm the sheriff! - and he's not my type anyway. So, I can feel icky about it - or I can use it to my advantage - get him to cook me special, not-on-the-menu dishes - like Orange Tofu with greens, or something such. I can get him to measure and guess caloric content of dishes. I shall use my irresistable sex appeal (ha!) for my nutritional gain!

But first, a continuation of my love affair with the elliptical. And I'm even taking reading to do while on - maybe I will like that.

Tuesday I'm scheduled for racquetball with Calvin. I just hope I don't injure him like I used to injure my brother when we would play together (more than 20 years ago). I do very much like to hit things, though it is quite socially unacceptable, so maybe this will be a good release for me. No, not to hit Calvin - to hit the ball against the wall.
