Oh Nikki you'll get a kick outta this. Many, many times in my life I have been asked the wonderful question... "What are you" yet again today I was asked that very question. Never in my wildest dreams I would think random strangers would pose that question to a person, and not time after time, person after person. I find it odd, people that are around me and actually know me have never asked me that question, but perfect strangers who may only have been talking to me but a few minutes have asked more times then fingers on my hand. Today it was the usual " You look Asian or maybe its Mexican" which in my opinion look very different and how I could look like one and then the other without really looking like either is beyond me. I have been asked if I was (most popular) Asian, Mixed, Mexican, Spanish, and Black. Um no. Just because my eyes are almond shape and brown does not mean I am Asian. I use to get really upset when people would say this to me and when people would tease me about this, I dont anymore because now I just think it is funny to see how many times people ask me what I am and all of the different nationalities they think I am. Never has anyone guessed plain old German and Norwegian.
I can totally feel the burn still today, but Im determined to do that damn tape again. I did my CPR course today and that worked out great and it took less than 2hours instead of the 3hours they told me which was really nice.
Now I get to sleep in tomorrow morning and go to Thanksgiving. I think I am doing a pretty good job with my eating. NOT A DIET. Im just trying to make better choices, I can still have anything because I find when I deprive myself of things I really like I binge eat which isnt good. So I got up and cut up an apple and ate it on my drive to work, I had a Roastbeef, lettuce, cheese in a tortilla shell wrap with Ritz Cracker chips, 2 bottles of Propel water for lunch, we went to Applebees for dinner and I chose an item off of the weight watchers menu, but added a cup of soup and had 2 sierra mists. I think I did pretty good today, I will have a sugar free jello snack and maybe another propel water too.
I think I will get up and make Eggs and Ham so I dont overeat at Thanksgiving. Plus Matt wanted me to make Bacon Broccoli salad and thats about as good for you as jar of Mayo, but is so tasty I know I wont be able to resist.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey! Broccoli is basically a miracle food (along with spinach). Sure, the rest of the stuff isn't great but it's mostly broccoli and and anything to increase veggie consumption is good. Plus you could make it with turkey bacon, unsalted sunflower seeds and lowfat dressing and cut out tons of calories and still keep the broccoli goodness.
