Monday! Music for Smashing Fat!
We made it! The whole weekend! Did NOT eat anything from a fast food place, a restaurant, a roadside stand, a cart at the park—nothing! Day 6 dawns rainy and chill but we feel good. Hungry yes, but not AS hungry. It’s weird. Pounds have been dropped. Won’t have an official count until Day 8–start of cycle 2–second week of the smash. But it’s already exciting because bread is involved and peanut butter and bananas!! 2 more days of the leany lean and then it’s like a party of food. So me and boyfriend are talking about all the stuff we COULD have, like pizza, burgers, ice cream, bacon, pancakes—cause that’s what you do…when I first started BFL a year ago, I would hoard food magazines like Bon Appetit and Fine Cooking and Food and Wine, and I became obsessed with cooking shows (Guy Fieri and Tyler’s Ultimate; Bobby Flay and Alton Brown–the food gods sent from olympus) and I would just read or watch and dream whenever I was hungry. Which was always. It was like food porn. And I thought, man, a good music list could come from this. We can’t eat any of that stuff. Glamour Eggs are like, egg whites with mushrooms. Bleah…I just shove a hard boiled egg into my mouth, try not to choke, and move on. Takes like 30 seconds. More time for exercise. The OTHER healthy component….circling back around to the list….we can’t have the bad because that food goes right to the fat already stored in the body. Just attracts right to it like a lumpy fat magnet. And that’s the list. Took the long way to get there, but here we are, the “Hanging Out In The Adipose” List:
1. Fat Bottomed Girl / Queen
2. Fat As A Fiddle / Chris Difford
3. Fat / Weird Al Yankovic
4. Big Fat Woman / Mudcat
5. Big Belly Mamma / Albert Smith
6. Big Girl, Skinny Girl / CX Kidtronik feat. Rockola
7. Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) / Mika
8. Big Bad John / Jimmy Dean
9. He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother / The Hollies
10. Heavy On My Mind / Back Door Slam
11. Thick-Necked Man / Crash Test Dummies
12. Thicka Than A Snicka / Meech
13. Overweight / Blue October
14. The Weight / The Band

Easy like Sunday mooorrrnnning…..
Fans of the SpongeBob unite! Don’t care what you think….the square is funny! Made it thru Saturday. Did not exercise, but, was gone all day doing stuff with boyfriend. Things like home-fix-it-project purchases, oil changes, groceries, library activities, getting gas (for the car), bird seed replacement, garage cleaning, going to the bank….that’s right. It is exciting out here in the Midwest. Nice day. Nice night. I stayed home while boyfriend went out with friends to cheer up other friend after sad personal loss. (Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family).
Did some laundry and dishes (well, not really dishes; 2 plates that had 1 very lean hamburger patty and some brown rice on them–we licked them clean and I just put them back in the cabinet). Done. So, then my night is free to think of today’s playlist. Have to work out, twice, but can’t. So will have to combine workouts. An hour, plus. Hmmm….Sunday….days of the week music? Don’t know if I can find enough–we’ll see. That’s my first idea.
Second idea: I am going to my sissy’s (she’s a boo-tishin’) (hair do-er…ya’ know…) and I need the whole job done on my head. I have sort of darker blonde hair with strands of grey, so color is required. The winter is brutal. Cold so harsh it makes your hair turn white! In order to get the “California Blonde Look” we all decided looks the best, apparently, on me, (says the mom, the kids, the boyfriend, people I used to work with…) it means one layer after another of beautiful fake sunshine. A highlight here and there. A cut, a blow, and a style I will never be able to repeat, and I’m done. Slap on some fresh make-up and present the new and improved head for examination. So, point is, I’m thinking…hair…blonde…brunette…California style…and so on.
I’m going to hold a Sunday Song list for a lazy moment and instead bring you the “Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific” List:
1. Hair / Treat Williams & Cast (Movie Soundtrack)
2. Sister Golden Hair / America
3. San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair) / Scott McKenzie
4. Suicide Blonde / INXS
5. The Boys Of Summer / Don Henley
6. Delta Dawn / Helen Reddy
7. Wonderful Tonight / Eric Clapton
8. Are You Gonna Be My Girl / Jet
9. Jolene / Dolly Parton
10. She Talks To Angels / The Black Crowes
11. Bette Davis Eyes / Kim Carnes
12. Stupid Girls / Pink
13. California Girls / David Lee Roth
14. Witchy Woman / The Eagles
15. Sister Honey / Stevie Nicks

And now for a little weekend music…
I know, how predictable. It’s Saturday. Day 4 of our Extreme Fat Smashing experience. Don’t have to exercise. You CAN, but you don’t HAVE to. Still have to follow the food regimen though. If we can make it thru this weekend without a McDonalds Meltdown or a giant Pizza Pig Party, we should be home free. I was gonna go with the time/pointless endeavor music list out of sheer laziness, but then I heard some Loverboy music on the radio and voila’…it’s a rockin’ Saturday night! Or day. Whatever. The EFS makes me tired. And if you can’t eat and you can’t enjoy the other thing you can do on Saturday night with no kids home because you have a certain female condition wrecking all the fun….you just go to bed. Save your energy for Sunday when you get to eat another crumb and go run for half the day. So with total predictability, dance it quick and hit the sack, here is the “Saturday Weekend Party” list:
1. Working For The Weekend / Loverboy
2. Party Like A Rockstar / Shop Boyz
3. Saturday Night / Ta-Gana
4. Get The Party Started / Pink
5. Come Dancing / The Kinks
6. Saturday Night / Bay City Rollers
7. Party Doll / Buddy Knox with The Rhythm Orchids
8. Saturday Night Special / Lynyrd Skynyrd
9. Garden Party / Ricky Nelson
10. Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) / Kid Rock & Nickelback or Elton if you’re more into that.
11. Dead Man’s Party / Oingo Boingo
12. Dancing With Myself / Billy Idol
13. Rock And Roll All Nite / Kiss
14. Little Red Corvette / Prince
