Randomness

Okay, I'm just going to be upfront about this blog entry tonight, because you need to be warned.

There is no topic.
No controlling thought.
No Hey, I got a great idea for a blog post!  I'll talk about poop, how I hate exercise, weird gym people, hating exercise, my new shoes, hating exercise, tracking points, hating exercise, weighing naked, and hating exercise.

Oh no, my friends, there is none of that tonight.  No thesis statement.  No main idea.  Possibly, I might even lack any semblance of logic this evening.

Just wanted to make sure you knew what you where in for in case this blog post ends up being crap.

Okay, I know what I'll do!
I'll interview myself!  That might be amusing.

Ahem....
Good evening ladies and gentlemen.  Thank you for joining us on One Hundred Pounds of Fat.  Tonight we're going to be interviewing the senior writer, who is actually the ONLY writer for this hit new blog, Dorian "my pants are falling down" Tsukioka.  Dorian, thank you for joining us, and welcome to the program.


Well thank you for having me here.  I'm quite honored actually.


Tell us, Dorian, why did you begin writing One Hundred Pounds of Fat, the blog (not to be confused with One Hundred Pounds of Fat the released directly to DVD movie).

I guess I just wanted to do something different this time.  Every year I make a New Year's commitment to really lose weight, and this year, I suppose I was a little more serious about it.  Also, somewhat less admirable, is that I watched that movie, "Julie and Julia" and I thought, 'I could do that!'  But the whole cooking your way through Julia Child's cookbook had been done.  So then I thought, 'I can write a blog!'  which actually makes more sense now that I think about it, than trying to complete an entire French cuisine cookbook in a year.  So I decided to try to lose 100 pounds in a year, and blog about it.

Ok then.  


Let's talk about losing weight, then.  How's it going so far?
Not bad.  I have better weeks than others.  I started off really well, but then lost a little steam for awhile, but I think I'm back on track now.

Why do you think you ran out of steam?
I tend to screw up really badly after I reach a goal.  I'm not sure where this comes from, but when I reach a goal it's like I say to myself, 'Whew!  I made it!  I'm done.' and then I stop doing what was working.  I guess that happened to me in March when I made it to a 20 pound loss before my birthday.

So, you talk out loud to yourself quite often then?
Ummmmm......

Let's move on.  
What has been the best part of losing weight so far.
Oh without a doubt it has to be all the exercise.

*crickets chirping*

BWAH HA HA!!!!!
Oh man.  I tried.  I really tried to say that with a straight face, but I just couldn't.  Oh man....oh....my sides hurt.

Ok.
Ok.  I'm alright now.

The best part of losing weight is probably seeing my clothing size get smaller and being able to go shopping in my closet.  Yesterday I found 3 new items of clothing that haven't seen the light of day for 3 years.  That was pretty exciting.


So, you're obviously not too concerned with the latest fashion trends then.
Well, I guess...wait, what are you saying?

Moving right along!
Do you have any advice for those trying to lose weight?  Any golden nuggets of wisdom you would like to share?
Were you saying that my clothes look dated?
Do I look bad?

No, no, of course not.  Really.
Some looks transcend styles...and good looks.
Really, darling, you look marvelous.  
Let's continue, shall we?
Ok....if you say so.

Ummm....advice?  I really don't feel qualified to give any advice.   I guess I'd say, lots of programs will probably work for weight loss.  The only magic key is sticking with whatever fits your lifestyle and giving that program a chance to work for you by honestly giving it your all for a few weeks.  If you're succeeding, then keep on keeping on.

That's all, I think.

Did you get that?

Hello?

Excuse me?

Hey, are you texting while I'm talking to you?
Hey, wait a minute!  Are you texting ABOUT ME?
This Dorian is a cheese head?  What!?

That's all the time we have for today!  Catch us on the next blog posting of One Hundred Pounds of Fat.  Good night, and good riddance!




Geeze....this interview stunk.
Where's my complimentary fruit basket?
