a Book to avoid ..Progress week 10 day 1

First of all, a book to avoid--Skinny Bitch. How this book made it to the best seller list is beyond me! I am so glad I borrowed it from the library rather than actually spent money on it. It was basically book promoting a vegan diet (no cheese!) with a ton of swear words. The science behind their advice is questionable, but the book was basically unreadable due to the potty mouth and I mean f*words. I cannot believe anyone could follow this "diet" much less plow through this book. I thought it was supposed to be a humorous book about modeling. Here's the jist... be a vegan,exercise a lot and you will be skinny.  Rating F

I went to church yesterday for the first time since my accident. I "walked" all day without crutches in my slow zombie stroll. It is hard to imagine unless you haven't had it in a while, how much it means to walk and have your hands free. Carrying things is underrated. I can't go all day or long long distances, but I can do more and hopefully will continue doing more and more each day. 

I started Christmas cards. My first one I didn't like (amy you will be getting a christmas card), so it is back to the drawing board for me. I am trying some new techniques. I will let you know how they go. I am working on this today as well.

My goal this week is to reduce my limp. Just like the OBamites, I am ready for a change and I have hope that a change is coming!

Glad to know there's a book to avoid. Can't wait to see what you come up with, especially Amy's "special" card!

Look at the blog I just found! http://operationskinnybitch.blogspot.com/

I have no idea if it's a spin-off from the book or not, but I had to laugh when I found it, of course after reading your post.

I hate bad books, especially if I spent bucks on it!
