Huckablubber update: week one of six
June 8th, 2008
Guess what. I have lost five pounds this week! Guess what else. I have not been to the gym once. One more, guess how! FoodpoisoneColirotoviruscholera! Oooooh. If I could put it in a pill I would be a bazillionaire. This is not what I had in mind when I started this contest. Please do not use Mary-Kate practices to win. The prize is good, but not that good.
Also, I hear through the grape vine that some of you were mighty disappointed with my big announcement. Seems they wanted another kind of announcement…the kind that makes me get fatter instead of thinner. Although, it also includes gratuitous vomiting. Yeah, sorry about that. Have I mentioned that we do not have HEALTH INSURANCE right now? So, you can pretty much keep on dreaming for that announcement anytime soon.
Post how you have been doing so far in the Huckablubber off. Have you lost any weight? Do you feel better? What have you done to win this week?

I have no idea as I do not weigh, don’t own scales, and I’m sad to say have also not been to the gym. I have made food decisions a little more wisely, but that is all. I’m certain this old body will not win. It’s too hard to lose now.
This is the absolute worst time of year for me to try to make healthier food choices as I will be at meetings/conferences every single week except one until the week of August 11! It’s so hard to eat right when the food is catered and it’s all cheap/fattening casserole-type stuff.
But, I’m still going to try my best anyway. Don’t know anything about poundage as, like Grammy, I don’t weigh. I had to stop that back in the old days of struggling with an eating disorder. Unfortunately, my eating disorder these days appears to be gluttony!
Well, health insurance and the lack thereof, is a temporary thing. I’m patient. Just as long as the conversation is taking place, I’m happy b/c I have tried very carefully to be quiet on that subject…reminds me of the story of one of Eric and Mandy’s boys who said to Grandpa Ray when he tried to take their new baby girl home with him, “If you want a baby, get Memaw to have you one.” Well, I’d love another baby in the family in a year or so, but not to the extreme of having one myself!!
Hope you’re feeling better, HeyYou.
I don’t weigh. I don’t own scales. I just note how pants slide right off without unbuttoning them. Over the past six weeks (yeah…I started a bit early…sorry…wow, have I ever started anything early?) I’ve gone from a size 16-ish to a 12.
Interesting side effect…you know how my boobs were lopsided? Well, now they’re more so. The right one is WAYYYYYYYYY bigger than the left now. I really should have asked that plastic surgeon I went to for the spider bite about that, but I neglected to. There’s just something about being topless in front of a stranger that makes you lose your train of thought. Though, I’ve never really been one to be shy about the whole topless thing.
Well, the neighbors had the stomach fury earlier this year, and if getting that is what it takes to win, I lose! No prize is worth going through that again!!
Please stay on your side of the…I mean, I’m glad to hear you guys are feeling better…cheaters!
I was bad last week. I’m pretty sure that I’m lactose intolerant, but I gave in and had cheese and milk on Thursday. It’s not so bad that I can give up those items just yet. And soy milk is gross!! I only worked out twice last week. And, this past weekend was my anniversary, so we just HAD to go to Red Lobster (my husband’s choice) and even though I had a salad, I’m pretty sure I could have just poured the Caesar dressing down my throat and gotten the same effect. AND, I cannot seem to go to RL without getting a calorie-laden hurricane and filling up on those wonderful, artery-clogging biscuits. On the plus side, I haven’t gained back any of the weight that I lost before the month of May knocked me off the diet/exercise wagon. This week I will (try to) be better.
So, upon hearing the news this morning that there is a MAJOR salmonella outbreak and all fast-food chains are discontinuing serving tomatoes, I have to ask: did the Huckabloggers eat tomatoes from “out” last week? And to think, I was complaining just last night about the fact that Sonic didn’t put tomatoes on my salad.
I did see that, and yes I had tomatoes on my salad about three hours before I started feeling sick. The Husband picked his off…and I ate his too.
That’s nice, but you do realize that there were no confirmed cases in our state…right? The measures national chains are going to are purely precautionary.
For the record, being preggers is not getting fat. Fat is when you eat too much and don’t exercise. I suppose if you eat too much while you’re preggers and don’t walk or anything you can get fat, but it’s not BECAUSE of being preggers. I’m now off the soapbox. If you lived in my neck of the woods we could go to Zumba together, but alas you insist on living by your family…
Uh Oh. 2 have now tested positive for the salmonella poisoning from tomatoes in our state. Are the Huckabloggers the two?
