Scene - Blogs - Hello Mazzios Do you miss me HellOOOO Week 3 Day 4

Hello, Mazzio's? Do you miss me? Hell-OOOO??? -- Week 3, Day 4

This extraordinarily unflattering photo of me on a StairMaster was taken in February 2004 when I was training for the Tulsa Run at Hillcrest with the lovely Julie Pickens. Advice: Cock your head a smidgen to one side and down -- but not SOOO far down you have multiple chins.

I really, REALLY wanna weigh right now -- despite the fact I did that just 48 hours ago.

That would be silly and, perhaps, counter-productive. My focus should be on exercising and eating healthy (and enough -- no skipping meals to get slimmer quicker, which is oopid-stay).

Mistress Ann, who has been guiding PB and I during this, our first, week, reminded me on Monday that I need to ease into my new regimen. She said she could tell I was an all-or-nothing person -- one extreme or the other. I'll try to work out every day and starve myself, or I'll avoid the gym altogether and resuscitate my thrice-weekly relationship with Mazzio's. Seriously, when everyone at the Mazzio's call center recognizes your voice, it's time to take pizza delivery off speed dial.

Anyway, Mistress has started us off slow -- did another 30-minute stretch class this morning, followed by 10 minutes on the StairMaster, 12 on the elliptical and 12 on that arm-rowing thing, whatever it's called. I'm supposed to have a body composition test or whatever done tomorrow evening (I think). Just hoping I'm not at 56 percent body fat. Is that even possible? Lord, if I were hanging in a butcher shop, how marbled would I be?

Assuming you didn't gouge your eyes out with something after that unfortunate visual, here's how my vittle-eatin' has been going:

Tuesday for dinner -- more turkey, plus half a bag of 2-point Weight Watchers cheese snacks (thank you, Banshee). Wednesday: Ate a small handful of almonds at 6 a.m., then ate a banana on the way home from working out. Breakfast was oatmeal with cinnamon, plus three scrambled egg whites with a bell pepper and spinach.

Now, I'm off to the newsroom canteen for gossip and -- surprise! -- rice and beans.

Peace, love and body fat ... xoxo

Couldn't hear the gossip in the canteen at lunch time today for the behemoth cart full of soda and the vending guy stocking the machine and making all that clatter. Geez. Better luck tomorrow.

Living Wright

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
