Lunch with Mahala

The Amazon is home for spring break this week. There have been endless discussions about Weight Watchers points, fat grams, carbs, the best / worst bottled waters and those little 100 calorie snack packs. I've decided to start hitting the Slimfast again. I lost alot of weight on it before and to be honest, I'm reaching a state of desperation.

Slimfast has changed since I used it before. Now it's Slimfast "Optima" with fewer calories and some secret special formula to make you feel fuller longer. I'm not sure if it makes you feel any fuller, but it has a much stronger gag factor than it did before. It'll make you not care if you ever eat again. It's nasty tasting. I'm gagging it down religiously though, something's gotta give. I'm tired of slagging around like Jabba the Hillbilly.

I know I pick on poor Bubbles more than I should, but do ya'll know what it's like to hear someone chowing down on not one but two egg sandwiches from the diner.. with cheese and extra mayo mind you, while you're gagging down a can of Slimfast? One of these mornings I may just go over the edge, scaling the cubicle wall on a seek and devour mission, kicking her ass and liberating that greasy egg sandwich from her chubby little fingers.

But only one of the sandwiches, I gotta cut back ya know.

In other news...

My Second Life business venture now makes enough money to pay my membership fee. You have to have a premium membership to own land, they have you over a barrel that way. It's been a lot of fun, exploring different marketing options, sort of like playing with Monopoly money. The exchange rate is something like $1 US = $L271, so $4 buys you around $L1000. I've almost made back my initial investment after only a month. If any of you ever find your way into SL, look me up. I'm not hard to find, I'm Mahala there too .. and there aren't that many with that name.

This is me and a friend dancing on the beach in Second Life....


Ya'll just have to overlook the skimpy bikini.

Anyway, I'd better get back to work. Ya'll have a good day :)

Be careful about scaling the wall, you never know what might be on the otherside!

I'm with her - Atkins - it just got a write up in the paper - I'll eb more than happy to walk you through it if you want some help - just send me a note. Slimfast will help you lose it - but it is so hard on your body and that kind of dieting predisposes a person to diabetes - you wanna pass on that.
