Responsibility 199, what is it?

Responsibility 199 is a belief; I believe that to be healthy and to increase my longevity I need to weigh 199 pounds or less...
Responsibility 199 is a need; I need to reduce my weight, reduce my percentage of body fat, and the elevated threat of disease my present condition presents...
Responsibility 199 is a mission; I recognize that achieving 199 will be a challenge, perhaps the hardest I have ever undertaken...
Responsibility 199 is a commitment; I acknowledge that I must commit to action, commit to change, commit to myself and those I love to achieve this mission, to increase my longevity...
Responsibility 199 is ME.

Day 304 - Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day

I hope you enjoy this day, whether you celebrated this weekend or today, with whomever it is you love, like, sorta-dig, tolerate, just met in the elevator; you decide.

If you are insistent on making your valentine treats healthy but aren't sure where to start, let me suggest the following...

Fruit Kebabs Chocolate Dipped; more fruit than chocolate would be healthier. No chocolate would be healthiest but also no fun

Heart Shaped Jello; not anatomically correct heart shaped, that would be gross & hinder your love mojo

Yogurt mixed with, ah never mind yogurt just does not have a role this day, close the refrigerator it'll still be good tomorrow

Chewy Heart Shaped Sugarless Cookies; use your fave sugar substitute of course and to make the pink & extra-chewy incorporate your fave sugarless bubble gum into the recipe. It is valentines day so I recommend Hubba-Bubba

Heart Shaped Pizza; folks if you have not figured it out by now you can shape a pizza crust to fit any holiday theme. Healthy pizza is easy to achieve no matter what the shape

And if your creative glands are dormant, you can't go wrong with a bottle of wine; red of course. Or Wine-Coolers if you prefer. Or Red Horse Malt Liquor if you are lacking creativity & sensitivity.

How Are / Did You Celebrate Valentines Day

  1. You are hilarious today, Patrick. We are having normal food for today except that the boys will be allowed dessert if we go out to dinner. The place we have reservations at has something called a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pizza ala mode. If they order it, I will just be watching.

  4. Wonderful suggestions! We choose, however, not to celebrate this holiday! Well, we do for the kiddo, but the hubby and I, just holds no interest to us. Happy V-day to you though!

  5. We don't really celebrate it. And this year, especially, because my poor husband is prepping for a routine colonoscopy tomorrow! He'll be celebrating with Jello:)

  18. Jim got me a belt to help hold up the pants I am slowly shrinking out of. I got him a coffee cup. Romantic, well not really but something we both have asked for. So all is good.
    Happy Valentine's Patrick and and Mrs. Take care and God Bless!!
