2 blogs in one

First I would like to say I peed out another 8 pounds last night. Good thing I was fat when I got fucking cancer because I have lost 30 pounds since Feb 21st. What a great diet plan. Seriously though thank god I have the reserves. I could lose another 30 and be ok. I am really trying to eat protein for this chemo. Harder than it seems. Meat grosses me out. Fage yogurt is my new best friend. Last night as I lay in bed with insomnia as I do every night, I was fantasizing about what I could eat. The thought if so many things grosses me out. So here is what I want. Scrambled cheese eggs from the waffle house. And I want to go to Flip and get the beet salad and some French fries with their homemade smokey ketchup. Yum!
Now for part two of the blog, after working in film for so long I walked away with one thing. No does not exist. Everyone who works in film knows exactly what I am talking about but for those of you who don't, here is what it means. In our line of work no is unacceptable. If something needs to be shipped overnight from France, you make it happen. If the director wants a side show freak carnival for the next am and tells you at 8 pm, you find it and get it. No simply is not acceptable and will cost you your job. So I am applying this to my cancer. I am going to beat it and I am going to fight it. The dr already told me I had the right attitude to win so now that I feel better I am back.this is the first day I have felt this determined in several weeks.

  1. Hi Ellen -- good to read that you are getting out. I also love Fage yogurt. If you are looking to boost protein -- mix some protein powder into the cup of yogurt. My favorite is the plain with honey, walnuts and some vanilla protein powder.
