For any of you Burton Nutrition or General Hospital Folks

So, last night I went to see Stone Cold and the Jackal and it was a blast, but today we're back to real life. The Stone Cold and the Jackal show was really funny. They talked a lot about General Hospital, and teased and picked on the stories and the characters. I loved it. Mr. G was lost.
After the 90minute show, the VIP ticketholders were to line up for the meet and greet. Seriously, grown women are worse than any child in these situations!! Instead of everyone just getting up and getting in line by their table, women rushed from all over, trapping folks like us in our booth. We had to "merge" into the already formed line (which they were not happy about).
I immediately started to feel unsteady, but there's nothing new about that. So I kept trying to hold on to chairs. But, I gradually became nauseated and dizzy. I seriously thought I was going to pass out! I still don't know if it was because of it being too stuffy in there, or all the people around me, or maybe I didn't eat enough (I was trying to be good, and only had two slider burgers, and one soft pretzel stick) 
 
Finally we get to the stage, and I'm really thinking I'm going to be on the floor, or get sick! (An I'm awkward in public, so anything was possible!) I step up on stage (mind you, the spotlights are on too) and it felt like one of those movies where you are the POV of the main character, and all you see are people's faces coming into the person's sight line, lol. 
First "Spinelli" (Bradford Anderson) then he comments on my shirt, then hugs me. Then there's "Jason" (Steve Burton) he says "look at those eyes, lady with the beautiful eyes" (maybe he said pretty eyes, I don't remember, but we'll go with beautiful right?)
 
>>> interesting side note, when I was a child, I got lots of compliment on my "cat" eyes. My Nunna would tell me I had eyes just like her mom.
 
I was so dumbfounded up there, I barely said a single thing to them! LOL! But, that's history repeating itself. The first time I met Kris Letang I did the same thing. Too bad it'll be more difficult to meet these guys again, unlike Letang (who I'm pretty sure he knows my face by now, haha - I'm harmless, I swear! lol)
 
I'll just be over here saving up to see them again if they ever come back to Pittsburgh...
I think we can call this Self-care - Right??

My nemisis

I am failing miserably at this diet thing... I just want to look better and feel better and be healthy. The pandemic did me in...I'm serious. Suddenly I was no longer alone in the house, which was nice, but it turned me from getting my steps in while watching tv, and trying a new on-demand exercise routine to sitting. Mr. G working in the other room has me more self conscious about doing any of those things that I used to. And yes, that's a ME problem. Then there was the community panic of "Stores are going to run out of food!" So we were buying anything we could find in anticipation for empty shelves. (Now we know the only shelves that went empty were toilet paper, paper towels, I'm hearing baby formula, and cat food. Then breakfast sandwiches-which was odd.) But I went from buying all fresh veggies and proteins to whatever I could find. I still don't eat frozen chicken nuggets or strips, and I do make frozen fresh chicken. BUT my eating habits went crazy. I ...

It's Time to be Awesome

Yesterday I started over (wait, have I said that before?) I watched my calories, and drank my shake for lunch (instead of eating something) and tried to get in my water. It was rough. When you get used to eating foods, and not so healthy foods, it is hard to not eat them. And you crave them. You mistakenly think you need them. And it sucks. And it's hard. But if you want it bad enough, you'll try. And I am. I am trying again today. I will take this one day at a time - no, one meal at a time. We (meaning my husband and I) ordered Fit Boards. Yep, we did. Yes, the ones you saw on Shark Tank. I'll let you know if they work. I got very used to snacking in the morning and the afternoon and the evening. Did you? This quarantine made me lazy. I look at the room and say "I should vacuum/dust" then I don't. And I keep thinking I am not going anywhere this summer, so what am I fighting for? Then I see people on tv like former WWE wre...

No Bueno

Well, this week's weigh in was a bust. I didn't lost anything. But I knew that would be the case, because my whole body felt weighed down, like I was full of fluid. So I can only think the numbers on the scale weren't accurate. I don't know why I felt so bloated all weekend? We've been eating a lot of bagels - maybe that's it. I tried to drink my water this week, and thought I was doing pretty well. All I can do is get back at it tomorrow. That's all you can ever do - keep at it! I was hoping to find something to replace water in the afternoon, something that would still hydrate me, but no luck yet. Water can be hard sometimes... What keeps me going is how far I've come. I realized since I started this journey in 2018, I've lost 2inches off my stomach, and 4 inches off my hips. It might be small, but it's something, and it has stayed off. Small victories, and time to keep at it for more results! I have a goal, and I am determined to...
