The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

Recently, as some of you all know, I am still in the weight loss process. I use process specifically because just like pimpin, dis ish aint easy. Summer what I would like to call a “coasting” time period – keeping off the roughly 60 pounds that I have lost so far. Now that summer is over, it is time to get back into it! I am making changes people! On Monday, I went to *gulp* Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s and got some great stuff. Granted everything was almost twice as much, but I am hopeful that it is going to be worth it. I just dislike the people at the Clarendon Whole Foods. I can't help it. They're all, "Look at me in my LuLuLemons workout clothes and my mint green yoga mat I eat salad for all my meals" and I'm all "I'm going to shove this organic free range un-caged non-hormonal lemon down your throat if you start talking to be about organic deodorant."

Speaking of being healthy, I am playing soccer for an adult woman's Arlington league starting next weekend. Having to display my sheer athleticism* in front of a small crowd makes me both excited and nervous. Don’t get me wrong, I played soccer for 15 years, both house and travel, so I know the game like the back of my hand. But am I ready to double up on my sports bras, tape up my child size shin guards, and kick a ball around for an hour? Puh, I guess we are about to find out. Let’s just hope that I don’t get a black eye from my left bazunga hitting me in the face or rip my shirt off to reveal a black sports bra, Brandi Chastain style. What do you all do to stay in shape? Are you playing any recreational team sports? Kick ball sounds delightful. 

*The last time I ran was for roughly 15 seconds 2 weeks ago because I accidentally almost touched a dead frog in a pool filter. Nastay.
