It’s All About the Comic Con

Can I help it that I am excited? Yes, it’s that time of year again when I devote hours planning what I will wear to the San Diego Comic Con(vention) International 2016!
The digs are reserved, the press badges confirmed, and the airline tickets are paid for.
Now it’s time to buy, or put together from my overstuffed closets things to wear to the party!!!
What a party Comic Con is!
Ok, let me admit I am a sucker for Cosplay!
I am a sucker for celebrity-sightings as well.
The mama-side of me tells me that celebrities are just people like you and me, but the girlish side of me gets extremely excited when she espies Danny De Vito, OMG! He’s so short!
Kevin Sabo. OMG! He is so sweet! He waited to have his photo with me before getting on the elevator! And giving my music CD Molly and Sonny Boy to Adam West, the only real Batman in my books. OMG! He took it!
Can’t wait for Comic Con!
Now let’s see who will I pretend to be?

To Be Strong for Comic Con!

Today I am pondering my Weight Reduction Plan.
Daily I try to move more, and eat less.
Nevertheless, in spite of all my good intentions it feels like it’s an uphill climb.
Food is so wonderful, and so plentiful here in the USA.
The Internet is so alluring,  and sitting on my bum is more convenient than anything.
How do I get back to the size 10 l once was?
I still exercise 30 minutes plus daily: be it walking the dogs or swimming laps, cleaning house or trudging behind a lawn mower.
Yet, it’s food that always arrests my progress.
The needle on the scale repeats the same numbers with minor variations of 3-4 lbs. Like a mini-see-saw up + down, a half a pound..
l am going to continue my quest for a tiny waist and a buff physique, but right now it all seems like a pipe-dream. Wishful thinking.
I keep a daily public record of all I eat on Pinterest.

My little meals

l have Very Real Reasons that motivate
me to want to be fit as a gymnast.
One reason is to have more pep.
The other is to be able to give to others more. More service, more help, and more encouragement.
It’s hard to make others feel good about themselves when you don’t feel so good about yourself.
The most selfish reason l have to show extreme self-denial from the abundance of food and drink temptations is Cosplay.
I can’t wear the sexy cinch-waist Steam Punk
fashions I crave when my gut hangs over my FUPA (Fat Upper Pubic Area!)
So, I have to continue my fitness endeavours.
I need to stretch, strength-train, do cardio and
keep monitoring what I eat.
I have been very good about NOT eating between 8pm-8am.
I have a trip to San Diego Comic Con coming up in the latter part of July.
My ego begs me to look hot, my appetite begs me to eat hearty!
Here is my original song:

To be strong for Comic Con
