The Hedonist

Hi All- I've miss you. I have to be honest, these two past weeks I've been on a major binge. Major. Like to the nth degree. You know those people on "Intervention" who are no where to be found for like a two weeks because they are doing Crystal Meth or Crack Cocaine in some warehouse next to train tracks? Well that was me, but instead of illicit drugs on the streets, I've been having mini cupcakes by the dozen, pasta almost every night, all-you-can-drink brunches and to top it all off, a Chipotle Burrito tonight. Do you know how many calories are in the Chipotle Chicken Fajita Burrito, I get? 790! Yeah, and I don't even get guacamole! But, I have to tell you it felt good, it all felt so so good. My friends came to town two weekends ago, and since it just kept raining, we just kept eating. What is better than old friends splitting a mini cupcake box? Or all eating at a diner at midnight? Or splitting a pizza? Nothing. Not even skinny. That stuff is honestly priceless. But, then I just kept going-ordering pasta/ eating cupcakes and eating them like I'll never eat again. This means somedays, eating pasta for lunch and dinner and cupcakes twice a day. No one needs that.

By the way, I read this interesting fact in "Shape: Brides" that after a "slip-up" women are more likely to just keep going and being more and more gluttonous. Men on the other hand get right back on track. Now to be completely honest, I was probably beyond gluttonous- if there is even anything beyond gluttonous. I was just hedonistic- I mean I ordered a beer as big as my face last weekend. I'm pretty sure you shouldn't consume anything that is as big as your face even if its the best bargain and your friend's 23rd birthday. (Happy Birthday, Katie!) But, in any event, I'm going to get right back on track- I don't need any big intervention, I know its whats for the best. I mean this whole blog is not really about getting "skinny" which I am sure my dear readers have caught on to. It's about being healthy, and feeling good. And these past weeks have shown me how absolutely gross I feel after eating like I'll never see food again. After my "power week", I felt amazing, I can't even really describe it. I was just clear and good. Now, I feel tired and bloated. So, I'm starting to see the error in my occasional completely hedonistic tendencies and I think I'm going to get better but, I'm just going to take it a day at a time.

In other news, I will be getting a new computer on Saturday. I am so excited I literally cannot stand it. My current computer died 3 times while writing this post. Oy! And maybe with the camera that will be on it, I CAN VLOG! Exciting, I know.

Well, I'll talk to you soon.
Love,
Marisa

PS. This picture was taking by Gabrielle in January when Emily was here. So, a little old, but I had no new ones to put, and I've been wearing those sunglasses a lot since it's been so nice out! :)
