It&#8217;s not really designed for someone like me, who has extra curves, so I&#8217;m working on getting rid of them &#8211; well I was until my recent junk food purchase debacle. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll get back on the wagon as soon as this bout of junk food is done. <\/p>\n<p>To aid my battle of the bulge, I dug out my hand weights, now I just have to use them&#8230; and start doing crunches. At least my new job keeps me away from the kitchen where I can make something to eat whenever I got the munchies. Unfortunately there is a bakery in the next building so every time the front door to the office opens, the scent of freshly baked bread comes wafting in &#8211; it&#8217;s so not fair. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m close to finishing the final edits on my novel. I have to send it to Perry this weekend to start her proofread. It will be up for sale by the end of the month. Whee! and then I have to decide what to work on next. Do I start another editing project or write a new story. <\/p>\n<p>I think maybe I&#8217;ll do some short stories and get some of my notes together from my SNBCS Social Media training sessions and create some e-books. Some of my clients have encouraged me so I think it&#8217;s a good plan. <\/p>\n<p>and the guy. I figured you&#8217;d want an update there too. He&#8217;s awesome. We both have been insanely busy so it was a week of text messages and the occasional phone call. This morning we hung out and he cooked for me (BTW he&#8217;s a great cook). Then I got to meet some of his friends. They&#8217;re a fun crew. <\/p>\n<p>I hold that you can tell a  lot of things about a person by the people he hangs out with and how he treats them. The guy is good people. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rule # 1 = don&#8217;t go into a store when you are hungry or have the munchies<br \/>\nRule #2 &#8211; see Rule #1<br \/>\nRule #3 &#8211; yeah you guessed it <\/p>\n<p>This is why I&#8217;m sitting here looking at cherry licorice, valentine jellybeans and 2 cans of Pringles &#8211; #dietfail!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-randommusings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1369"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1392,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1369\/revisions\/1392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
