anya: hey alfred buddy, how's it goin' whatcha doin' i wanna do that too it looks fun is it fun hey alfred!



anya: hey, alfred!?!?!?!!



anya: hey alfred guess what.

anya: guess what.

anya: alfred, guess what.



alfred:WHAT?!?!?



anya: (totally freaks out and runs away until she forgets that she got her ass handed to her about 2 minutes later and comes back for more)



and then he looks at me all like, "woman, why have you brought that creature unto this place?"
...except for alfred is so not that eloquent, so really if he could talk it would come out like, "moms why u's brings dat kitties to here i's don't likes her moms!!!!"

and this whole time, tillie mae was downstairs dreaming about going to prom:



because she's a little princess. aren't you just a foofy woofy little pretty pretty princess, tillie mae? (she totally is).

ok anyway. so we're on day 2 of my pre-biggest loser diet. i lost 1 pound yesterday, but i'm thinking that could be because i had some kind of weird stomach bug and was too nauseated to eat very much of anything. i am better today. hooray!



there's breakfast, the same as yesterday.



and lunch .. again, the same as yesterday ..



and this weird cancerous cantaloupe that i was pretty afraid of.



it turned out to be neither the best (farmer's market) nor the worst (asian buffet) cantaloupe of my experience.

there was a good year or so where i refused to eat cantaloupe because of this listeria scare in north carolina. listeria sounds like it would be the name of some beautiful flower or something, right? wrong! it's a super evil bacteria that will kill the living eff out of you. so .... fingers crossed for no listeria on this badboy.

the first Biggest Loser (tm) weigh-in for 2013 at my office is on Thursday (originally I thought it was Friday. or Monday. or some day other than Thursday). In order to make it to my weight loss goal by the end of the contest, i'd have to lose about 25 pounds in 12 weeks. according to the mayo clinic (mayonaise clinic, har har) it's ok to lose 1-2 pounds per week. my goal in this case would be 2 pounds per week, which is pretty lofty, but not unrealistic. or as other people might say, realistic. [i am so negative!] anyways, let's see if we can make it happen.
