Today was a good day!
Let me first start by saying yesterday was a bad day for me. It was halloween and I went a little calorie crazy. It is completely unnecessary to eat a hot dog AND a hamburger at a BBQ but, needless to say I went there and it was yummy.
Today, however, was great! I was able to eat all the foods I wanted and still go under my calories for the day! The key was moderation.
I am a singer and this morning I went and sang with some friends from the Bellarmine Choiristers at an episcopal church downtown, afterwards we went to Starbucks. I was worried at first but, instead of ordering a Grande I ordered a tall and was still able to have one of those delicious Morning Buns.
Afterwards I put in my calories and realized that evening my Choir director had sent us an e-mail saying he was taking all the choirsters who showed up for the singing to go out for pizza on him at Impellizeri’s. For those of you who are not from the Louisville area, Impellizeri’s is the best pizza in the world bar none and impossible for anyone anywhere to resist at anytime. Plus when you are in college and live on handouts from your family, free food is always welcome.
So… I put in the calories for two pieces of pizza before I left and I only ate two pieces when I got there. If I had a shiny gold star I would give it to myself. 
Lastly, my choir director, A.T. Simpson, was talking to us about women in college and what he said made a lot of sense. He said “Girls in college make me sick because they are puking in the bathrooms and starving themselves to impress some boy who has a beer belly and half their IQ.” Once I put the hysterical laughter, aside his comment really hit home. While granted, I have a boyfriend and I am doing this for myself, I agree with what he said. The entire media image of this perfect, sexy, woman was created by men and mass media and its ridiculous to beat yourself up for not looking like someone else wants.
So… driving home with my girls, and feeling quite liberated, I danced my butt of in the car to some Lady Gaga and felt great about my evening and myself.

Sounds like a great day!
Oh, gotta love the new Lady Gaga song.
Besides impressing men, there are women who suffers from bulimia and anorexia….it is an addiction. They need help too. Just like how some people don’t understand why obese people overeat and food addicts as I am a food addict and former bulimic person, it’s still a disorder.
Most men don’t care for stick thin, mine doesn’t.
Good blog.
Frat boys!
Well good job on the pizza, sounds yummY!
Yea, there are serious eating disorders out there, definitely. And most MEN don’t like their girls really skinny just the frat-boys. lol.
I just thought his comment was funny. Thanks for the comments and for reading my blog!
Only two pieces of pizza—-I KNOW how hard that is. Great job!!! Love your professors comment “beer belly and half your IQ.” I’m gonna have to remember that one. And I hate to sound like your mama (even though I am) but dancing in the car??? You weren’t driving were you??? Just joshin’, sweetheart. I’m glad you had such a good day—-you deserve it.
No mom. I wasn’t driving… sheesh.
haha that comment from your professor is fantastic.
Great job with the pizza!
