Thanks, y'all!

I am to tell 7 things about myself that you might not know.

And 5 guilty pleasures! Kinda mix the two!

First things first.

7 things.

1. I was a music major in college!

I played the drums/ percussion.

I was in Sigma Alpha Iota.

(And Alpha Lambda Delta.)

And have my 451, which is the highest 

undergraduate proficiency for music education.

All by the age of 19.

But no degree.

2. I did finish Nursing School.

But I didn't want to! I wanted to quit soooo bad!

In the Army, and went to the first Desert Storm.

Where I earned two Army Achievement Medals.

3. I worked as a CNA until I was almost 30.

But deep inside I knew I could do "better."

Cuz I was bored to tears.

In the Army, I was offered a chance to go to 

Medical School by 3 instructors.

But I said "No" to that, too!

4. Losing weight is the first (or second) big thing 

I've ever done right.

It's a pattern, this is.

(Ya think?)

It's not because I'm a slacker - No. I'm some 

sort of a Bohemian that uses (or did use)

imperfection/fear as an excuse for not

finishing anything..... ever.....

Like classic Relationship Failure,

and Reaction-Formations!

(And then there's that!)

5. After I lost so much weight,

I am very nervous!

Anxious, really!

And I doubt myself all.the.time!

I really try to over come this awkward sense of angst

I got myself into over the past year and a half.

I am just now starting to get past all that.

And not doubting myself every.moment.of.every.day.

But it's still very much a part of who I am now.

6. I was born blonde as blonde could be

and stayed blonde till I was into my 20's

Then..... suddenly something else!

7. This is the 2nd time I did LoCarb.

The first time, I weighed a whopping 148 pounds!

Which is a little more than I weigh now. Sheesh!

I thought at the time I was soooo heavy!

Go figure.

.................................................

Five guilty pleasures?

On LoCarb - we are allowed all kinds of so-called "guilty pleasures."

1. Macadamia Nuts are like cashews - Too much of a treat!

2. Every now and then, a What-A-Burger is pretty good.

3. I do enjoy a sugar-free frozen yogurt.

4. Sometimes, I "treat" myself to a Sugar-Free Candy Treat!

But then it's not so good for the next 6 + hours!

Thanks to everyone who has given me the honor of  a peer

type reward - these things mean the world to me!

And to pass is along?

I take the easy way:

Every one who reads here!

Pick up the torch and carry on!

I am really really bad a naming people. 

There are just too many good blogs out there.

Thank you!

Blogs and Kisses, Everyone!
