The Glutton in all of us...

Nemisis #2 The Glutton

     One of Disney's more controversial villians in the Gallery. A portly, greasy looking mobster with hot dog in hand & doughnut in the pocket, ready to stuff his face at any emotional trigger. The only thing he's missing, a "beverage", to wash down the self loathing. This week be on the look out for The Glutton...Oh, if you see Ben & Jerry, tell them they are still banned from my house.

Cereal Killer defeated by...

BECKY!!          

Becky won Habit Heroes this week. Becky fought hard & stayed in the battle, even when things were tough. She has logged into myfitnesspal.com on a regular basis & her hard, consistent work is paying off. Good on ya, Mate!!

Battle of the Cereal Killer

Week 2-  This is your nemesis, CEREAL KILLER
  So, In the Disney Game Habit Heroes, Disney created 25 "Gallery of Bad Habits." Each bad habit has a name and a "vice" that allows individuals to be unhealthy. The Habit Heroes are expected to fight against the bad habit to become healthier. Sounds fairly simple..what's the rub, some GoBH are benign & some are, well, controversial.  Let's start with an easy one.. The Cereal Killer- Some kid that dresses up in a fake Tony the Tiger costume to try to get you to not eat breakfast. He's anti- GRRRRRREAT!  To fight CK figure out your plan to eat breakfast... doughnuts & Pop tarts don't count. Report back on Tuesday.. go gettem soldiers!!

This week's Habit Hero is...

This Guy!

Week 1 was a success. Out of 10 of my G+ friends many people worked out, some kept track of their food & others just made a effort to eat less Steak & Shake. Week 2 starts tomorrow. You know your mission... Good Luck!!

G+ Habit Heroes T- 1 day

I sit here nervously fighting myself.. go to the gym, don't go to the gym?? Do they know that I just ate a handful of chocolate chips..do I care that they know? but damn, those chips were good! I did have a salad & chix breast for lunch, but that's not sexy.. nor are my abs. My workouts were hot this week UNTIL.. my stupid head pain got in the way. How will that affect my results for tomorrow? I'm not really a group person.. at any Weight Watcher meeting I've always been the anarchist, refusing to clap when ppl hit goals, I didn't want my little gold stars & I certainly wasn't going to buy the "Kool-Aid." So how the hell did I get here?

I'll tell ya how ...Several months ago a fun cast of characters came into my life. I met them via G+ Hangout.   The group is a unique blend of peeps ranging in age from 20 somethings to well, us not 20 somethings. Our discussions began around Disney & Disney themes, but have evolved.  Recently with some of my new friends we have decided to be Habit Heroes (can't look like the kid in the now defunct attraction: lazy, out of shape & making poor food choices.. Devil Child, Devil Child!) Some of us are embarking on a weekly journey to healthier living. Tomorrow night we enter our deets & the first drawing for the first Habit Hero will be complete...think the opposite of the Reaping.

So why am I so nervous??

Life after Playhouse Disney...

It's bright out here...

It's a process I'm told. I think I've always known; I just didn't want to accept it. When I think back, none of my friends were that into Disney. To like Disney was okay but loving Disney, clearly was not acceptable among my peers. I had to learn to adapt to their way; I had to learn their social cues.  I dabbled in their interest just to fit in. I watched the Snoopy holiday specials, woke up early in the mornings to see Super Friends & the Justice League, oh, &  Smurfs. I did enjoy those little blue guys. I hid behind the Smurf context for many years even dressing up like one for Halloween. I knew I wasn't being real.

So this is the beginning. This is me. This is where the work will start.  I will have to deal with my parents & my friends, oh & my co-workers, I work in a definite anti-Disney work environment yet ironically pro-Muppet (a post for another time.) I've decided, like Lavern & Shirley, to do this my way...
