What A Ride!

I received one of those darn email forwards today - usually just delete them but there is occasionally a gem. This one had a funny at the end

And remember this motto to live by: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

This is not the way I have been living lately, what with the diet and exercise regimen. I haven't been too stringent (in fact I had some yummy carne asada nachos with sour cream for lunch today) but I have been much more careful than I had been in the past.

I had decided to let myself be bad and pick up a 20 oz Coke on the way in to work yesterday - even though the most effective thing I did for my weight loss was giving up soda. I love Coke like a cat loves catnip and I miss drinking gallons of it every week. As I brushed my teeth and looked at myself in the mirror (nekkid) I realized that I am pleased to see the definition coming into my abs, the narrowing of my waist - and drinking a couple hundred extra empty calories, loaded with sugar, carbonation and chemicals won't help with that. So I didn't get it.

~ sigh ~

Is there a way I can slide in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, and fit to wear a bikini in public.....?
