gurrrrl powa!

Ok, so Rotten Tomatoes didn't give it a very good rating and I doubt that I would watch this movie over and over again, but if you're feeling down in the dumps 'cause you're a girl watch this movie. Death Proof is pretty entertaining.

I've always been curious about Weight Watchers because so many people have joined it. Then Heidi joined a month or so ago, so I decided to jump on the WW Wagon as well. I realized that over the last couple of years I've gained about 10 pounds of love handles that I just don't want. And when some pants start getting more snug, you start to think...so, I joined the online version because I just couldn't see myself going to meetings...yuck. I really like it. I'm so used to doing detoxes and things that I forget that a 'diet' allows you still to eat whatever you want, just maybe not as much as you would like., whereas a detox severely limits the food you can eat. After a week and already 3 pounds lighter, I'm adjusting the correct potions of food and am not so obsessed about the stuff. There are great recipes (even Steve will eat) and I'm totally addicted to seeing the point values of things. I don't think I have bad eating habits, but my portions were out of control. I've also curbed my snacking, phew!

I've also signed up for a yoga class. There is one offered at work and it's fantastic. I find myself really looking forward to Wednesday afternoons where I can spend an hour and a half stretching, calming down, and relaxing. I really recommend it to everyone. I feel so healthy!

Plays on perception

Wha? The lead singer of Silversun Pickups is a guy? I liked the band so much better when I pictured an ansty, scrawny girl just givin'er.

Boo.

We need more angsty girl bands.

Sorry BRIAN, you're gonna still be a girl to me in my head.
