Beer and Tofu

redhedlvr2Both have a serious yuck factor in my book. However...I have discovered the joy of tofu. Not to be confused with the copy of The Joy of Sex that I had hidden away (I thought) in a place my father would never think to look but did when I was 17...But I digress.
I found myself WANTING, in a drooling and almost lustful fashion, my very own, cooked exactly to MY specifications, tofu cheese burger as I was driving home from work. Ok yeah. It had been 4 hours since I'd eaten and I was ready to eat the steering wheel too, but that's besides the point. When one is battling the bulge, it is wise to use every weapon in one's arsenal. And you're just gonna have to live with my piss poor spelling too. Hope the spell check works and doesn't eat this little gem of a post.
Off topic once again. Not sure I could actually stay on a topic if my life depended on it. Anyway...
For a mere 100 calories I had a 4, count 'em (and I'll spell it out) four ounces of yummy, very beef like burger which filled me up and put a nice smile on my face. I no longer have the urge to run off to the Wawa (7/11 for anyone not of the southeastern PA region) and buy many Hershey with almond bars to stuff my face with. Which means, I stand a very good chance of making my weight loss requirement this month, which means I won't get kicked off the island. Or in my case out of the group.
And here I change subject again. Trevos is wonderful. It has changed my life at a point in my life where I think I really needed some change and encouragement. The fact that I have stuck with it for 63 weeks and lost 57 some odd pounds really is something. As you may have noticed, I have a short attention span and tend to flit from one interest to another. Often at blinding speed. Ask me how many instruments I have learned to play, not mastered mind ya, just can pick out Mary had a little lamb on. That kind of thing.
Anyway, bottom line is, for the first time in more DECADES than I want to even think about, I feel pretty good about my physical self. Now to get my mental shit together and I'll really be ready to go.
Now, for the beer portion of our program...
EEEWWWW! Disgusting stuff. Can't stand the smell, sight, and certainly not the TASTE of beer. OMG! Grrrross!
That concludes the musical portion of our program tonight.
