Five Things Meme

TB posted this interesting twist on the Five Things meme on his blog in honor of his 1st anniversary of blogging. The rules are to post five things about yourself. The twist is that four of them should be true, but one should be false. I thought it sounded like fun, so I’ve decided to play along.

Here is my list of five things about me. I’ll leave it up to you to guess which is the false one. Of course, those of you who know me well will immediately know.

1. I’ve lost over 75 pounds on Weight Watchers.
2. I drive a BMW.
3. I once appeared in a TV commercial with Johnny Cash and Richard Petty.
4. I have visited nearly 30 major league baseball parks.
5. I once sang on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium (original home of the Grand Old Opry) in Nashville, TN.

On the weight loss front, I made it to my WW meeting on Tuesday. I was down another 1.4 pounds this week which makes for a total loss of 7.2 pounds since I rejoined on June 11. Immediately after I left the meeting, I went straight home and spent the next 36 hours violently ill with some sort of stomach bug. I’m finally starting to feel a bit human again, thankfully!

I’m still doing well with my no-cheat challenge as well. Today will be day 24, so I’m nearly half way to my goal of 50 days already! WOW! I can’t believe it’s gone by so quickly. It feels great to be in control of my eating!

Training, quite naturally, came to a standstill this week. The only exercise I got was running to the bathroom to hurl. If I’m feeling up to it tomorrow, I may try and get out and at least do some walking. Since I’m still having some queasiness issues, I don’t think I’m up to trying anything more than that yet.

For all of my readers in the U.S., I hope you all have a safe, healthy, and happy Independence Day!
