Half an hour to the next X-Files.
My MIL left today after visiting
for a week. After the next X-Files I have to go through and clean out my
kitchen. She's no trouble really, it's just that she's got the habits of a junk
food junkie. No wonder Paul's the way he is. Chips, cheese dips, cookies,
sweets, soda, hot dogs -- I have to pitch them all. It was ok with me if she
wanted to do her own snack buying while she was here, but now that she's gone I
have to get rid of this stuff. I won't eat it, and I really don't want Paul
eating too much of it.
Paul is not feeling good. We did
replace his broken helmet today but we didn't ride afterwards -- I think his
medicine from the dentist is too strong a dose. It's making him very queasy and
he threw up. Ick.
I weighed in today post-period,
and while I lost almost 5 lbs of water weight (can you say miserably bloated!?)
I've been creeping. I'm hoping some of it is muscle, but despite that I'm still
nowhere close to target and I need to shape up.
The car thing is making me crazy
but if it's going to have to be 5 AM gym times, then it has to be 5 AM gym
times. When we get the Talon fixed I can go back to what I prefer -- my post
lunch gym time. Then there is the food journal.
I'm sick of my 95 box being dead
one week and alive the next. I decided even though it means veritable weeks of
transferring "my foods" in, I'm just going to have to buckle down and
use OnHealth's version of a
food diary. At least I can get to it from anywhere and use it
on my Mac OK and get to it form the other machines int he house even if my PC
is flaking out.
I secretly don't like having to be
online to use it and I really despite the idea of typing in all "my
foods" and recipes all over again. But then I also dislike it's been 6
months since I did it regularly and not touch and go at the whim of my
PC!
The big reason why I was trying to
just get my PC restored and holding out that long? I remember what a drag it
was to enter all that stuff for DietWatch. CyberDiet has a
food planner thing as
well, but I don't like the user interface. I can live with OnHealth's.
I guess it doesn't really matter
what you use though -- just that you use it and feel comfortbale using it. I'm
totally for software/web application. Writing and adding all this junk out
myself at the end of the day is too much of a chore. Data entry and then having
software figure out the report is much faster and easier. I actually do it
then. I lose notebooks nad pens.
Once I get past the initial
entering of my foods not already in the common database, it will be a snap. I
just have to get past that hurdle.
Here's an ad for Gucci clothes
with that ad I liked so much for Sports
Illustrated for Women:
The woman jumping hurdles looks so
much more attractive to me -- strong, lean, active. That looks healthy to me.
The Gucci woman looks.....
thin and overly Twiggy. That does NOT scream "healthy" to me.
I must be a pervert because I keep
thinking about sex. Like if you had sex with a person that angular, wouldn't it
be pokey? Hip bones jabbing you, elbows, knees... Exactly how is that
supposed to be attractive or arousing?
I keep thinking about how strong I
want to be and how fit I want to be and what I want to do. Paul mentioned to me
this weekend that he would really love to go sailing. I'm sitting there
thinking, "OK, how can I make that happen? Who has a boat?"
While at the bike shop I picked
up registration forms for a bike event. It's kind of far away though -- I wish
it were closer. I also have to try to figure out where to get wind of events
sooner. This is kind of short notice and with it being so far, I don't know if
I could make hotel reservations and junk. So attending the event is up in the
air, but it's nice too think about.
But definitely, definitely, I
rather run like a girl than be a Gucci clothes hanger.
