Writer's strike Warner Brothers

All along I really wanted to picket Warner Brothers the most. No huge reason, just a small series of slights over the years. Today's picket was hugely appealing to me, unfortunately, I didn't know it was coming when I made a series of non-refundable appointments that prevented me. As I am on strike without income, I can't afford mis steps financially, even for the sake of the cause and my brothers on the line. In fact, I consider it my moral duty to try and stay solvent, so those with greater need can take advantage of the strike fund etc...

Still, I was sorry to miss this picket. Instead, I completed several other duties. Voted for the WGA awards, read all my messages from the President and of course, dieted. I even weighed myself, but it wasn't one of my big successes. I appear to be stagnating. I must try harder to do the simple things on my list. Last week I had more off days than on. Forgetting all the water and vitamins and really not getting in the fruit.

I refuse to blame the milkshakes, the burgers, the chocolate or the pizza... My diet must work despite my sometimes questionable food choices. I'm also in the process of booking my flights for the high school reunion. This means I must be 100% serious now. I must lose at least one pound and sometimes two a week to make my goal. The pressure is on. People being fired at Warner Brothers... high school reunion coming... my stress level is high, with creates cortisol, which is not good for weight loss I'm told. Must reduce stress.

I am not stressed
I am not worried
I have infinite time, money and patience
I am calm
I am thin
I am succeeding
I am woman - hear me roar
I am grateful
I am a rock
I am an island
I am not Simon and Garfunkel

OK you have inspired me to get a bit of exercise and add a few good things to the diet. I was on the treadmill for 30 minutes and then did a bit of weights and stretches. I already feel better. Not to mention the enormous amount of water I have inhaled today, I wonder if running to the bathroom every five minutes counts as exercise?
Cheers,
your cousin

Hi,
I read your blog and enjoyed every word of it.
You are very funny and if you really want to loose weight I wish you luck. I also hope" the baby" is going to like his school more. Make us a picture of him in all the coats and hats. He may even get to wear mittens.
Love
Inna
