Temptation Tuesday 2

This week's theme... tempting vacations!  This pictures tempt me to jump right in, take off, head in, etc.

Any pretty beach will do.

J'habite a Paris!  Ok, not really.  But I wouldn't mind if I did, at least for a short time (like a vacation perhaps!).  I remember very, very, very, very, very little, next-to-none francais.

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today... New York City!  I've actually been once, nearly a decade ago.  I want to go back so much.  There is lots more to see (& see again).  I want to go out to the Statue of Liberty (I went to Battery Park my last day there, didn't have the time & it was far too windy for my liking to take the boat out) & climb the Empire State Building, & plenty more.

Disney World!  I've actually been here as well, a few times, but the last time would have been prolly about a decade ago as well.  I have been to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, & Hollywood Studios (when it was still called Disney-MGM Studios).  I know there is plenty more to see here too, especially in Magic Kingdom, & especially since they added onto Fantasyland.

Greece.  I've always loved Greece, at least since I chose it as the country to do my 6th grade social studies project on.  So beautiful & so much history.

Vegas, baby!  Never been.  Think it would be fun to go!

Hawaii!  I love beaches!  Obviously, lol.  Luau outs & beaches & pretty scenery, warm weather, oh yes please!

Temptation Tuesday 1

Temptation Tuesday, a day to post tempting things.  I might not do this every week.  The category will change each time (though a category could be repeated, just with different "answers").

I thought for my very first Temptation Tuesday, I would post some pics of some tempting male celebs.  Here are a few of my faves (otherwise, I could go on for pages, lol), in no particular order.

 Adam Levine

Patrick Dempsey

Ian Harding

Jesse Williams

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Reynolds

Boo Blah

I feel... I don't know the word for it.  I'm not sick.  I feel blah, I guess.  Physically mostly.  I'm not depressed or in a bad mood or anything like that.  I just don't feel like doing much.  Like being lazy, except that physically I am actually a bit tired as well.  I shouldn't be, at least I shouldn't have been all day long.  I didn't work today, slept in until almost 7:30am (normal time for me to wake on days off, when I work, it's anywhere from an hour to 3 hours before that).  I laid down half asleep/resting for about 45 minutes this afternoon.  And I didn't do much of anything.

I'm sure it's partially because I don't eat better or drink enough water or sleep well at night (I wake up often throughout the night, sometimes have issues getting to sleep as well).  And I'm sure the extra weight doesn't help either.

I wish I could steal energy from my child.  He has so much of it, surely he doesn't need it all.  And I could get oh so much done!  That would be glorious.

I need to get off the couch soon, so I can move a load of laundry from the washer to the dryer & start another load with my work clothes into the washer.

What an exciting blog post this isn't, lol.

Sympa-thee

After work today, I had to pick up my son from his grandparents' house.  Among the chit chat, his grandma mentioned how she had recently gone clothes shopping for an event she has coming up.  It disappointed her that she not only had a hard time finding something she liked, but finding something that fit/looked the way she wanted it too.  She resolved that she needs to lose weight (not that she's obese or anything though, not at all).

I hear that, feel that pain, etc.  It's why I next to never buy clothes these days.  Most of what I have doesn't fit anymore or looks horrible or I feel icky in it or a combination of the aforementioned.  I don't buy new things because I feel like that is accepting it more than I already have.  I did buy some work pants from Goodwill so that I would have more than 1 pair that I could still wear to work.

I have got to find that motivation, it's somewhere in me.  I know it is.  It's come out before.  And I've felt in moments, for a day or so.  It just doesn't seem to stick.

Back In

I have internet at home again! It's been like 2 years. Since then, I've had to rely on my phone & 'borrowing' internet at other places. I hope to stick with blogging, should be easier now that I can do it from home, any day.

 I'm in horrible shape. Literally, lol. I weighed in this morning at 140 pounds. Which a lot on my not even 5 foot frame. This isn't a surprise to me; because although I have not been around the blogosphere so much, I have most definitely been around/on my scale.

 I'd like to lose weight, I'd like to do it as normally as possible. Eating better. More quality food, less quantity (at least of junky food). More movement. I'd like to steer away from severe restriction and/or purging. We shall see. I have weight goals set, but there are not dates for any of them. I would like to look at them like stepping stones that I am allowed to take my time with.

I am going to go weed thru my blog list.  Delete any that don't exist any longer, who haven't posted in some time, or those I don't have permission to view, etc.  I currently have 139, I expect I will have a great deal less by the time I am done since I haven't been around in so long, & I imagine many have gone or been gone, etc.

Is anyone still around that has me on their list? lol. Hope all is well!

EDIT: I finished the deletion round.  Down to 20 blogs. So many were just nonexistent.  I kept pretty much anyone who had posted in 2013.  Gone away with 119 blogs, wowsa.
