I have been trying to lose weight for my health - literally.  I have lost 30 of the 72 pounds that I need to get off....that was all well and great until the past week...

I am now of the belief that it is safer for me to walk at night at Baylor University than it is to walk during the day - due to the 90+ temps that we are having.  Having been in Waco since the age of 4, I am used to the hypocrites on campus, and they are so wrapped up in the whole Baptist belief system, they are quite easy to scare - they didn't like it when I told them that I was protected by Merlin :) 

I am no longer cooking or eating out - I tend to bake everything and it's too dang hot to have the oven at 300+ degrees.  I refuse to eat out because it costs more to go 5 blocks to Wendy's than it does to get food there.  I have rediscovered Slim Fast - it's quick, easy to mix (I use the powder) and requires no heat or gas to make...just pick it up at the Wal-Mart when I pick up the chocolate chip cookies (have to have something solid to eat) :)

I have also decided that ice cream is in it's own food group, and it's the healthiest of them all.  Going back to the heat issue...Baskin Robbins is the coldest store I know around my apartment complex (not counting the liquor store next door) and being hot natured in this weather isn't good - ice cream is a great tasting way to cool down.  :)
