Finally!
I know, I know... I promised it would be about two weeks before our new designs were unveiled. Well, in theory, it was - I just didn't have the time to write about it.
So I'm back - germ free this time, although I do have a nasty little case of whiplash... don't walk down a wet, grassy hill in flip-flops, kids. Trust me.
And now that I'm back, I'm officially announcing the launch of our new line of Diet and Weight Loss designs at the puppytoes.net store.
If you remember from my teaser post last month, I hinted that the designs had to do with the seven wretched days I spent with the Norovirus. Out of those seven days, I spent the first four days unable to eat anything and the next three eating only bananas, apples, and toast. As I was getting dressed that last day I realized my jeans felt a little loose. I hopped on the scale and saw I lost about 10 pounds.
Even though the time I spent with the Norovirus was hell, I looked at it as an opportunity to get my butt back in shape. I was in great shape several years ago, then an ugly knee injury forced me to basically sit on my butt for almost 9 months. As my energy dwindled away, I slowly gained weight. I figured there was no way on earth I was going to be able to motivate myself to get back in shape again. For a long time I was looking for some kind of activation energy to get myself moving again.
Well, thank you, Mr. Norovirus. You became my activation energy.
One of my favorite designs in this section is the "Diet Police" design. If you've ever been on a diet and let other people know about it, you probably know what I'm talking about. All of a sudden, everyone else becomes extra vigilant about what you're eating, and they turn into the Diet Police. How many times have you heard:
"Can you eat that?"
"Do you know how many calories that has?"
"You really shouldn't be eating that."
"Why are you eating something with that much fat?"
Ooh, or how about this one - this one's the best!
"You're waaaaay too skinny now, I think you should stop losing weight."
By the way, I've encountered that last one personally, from the same person who told me once that even my feet were "pudge". How do I feel about that? Don't try to sabotage me for your own inability to control what goes in your mouth. 'Nuff said.
But yea, the Diet Police Suck, no doubt about it.
We've got a couple of other fun diet-inspired sayings and there's more on the way, including some inspired by fitness and exercise.
In case you're wondering, I'm still in the weight loss groove. I've lost a total of 25 pounds since the day I got that nasty bug.
So stop by and get your own diet police or weight loss milestone shirt! And keep vising our blog - I'll be posting a yummy-but-not-bad-for-you honey-mustard chicken recipe soon!
Hot Sellers!
