I feel MUCH better for Jeff having been here. I cooked up a storm and he devoured everything with the judgement of an adult and the appetite of a teenaged boy (a delightful combo) and now he is going to head for the nine o’clock ferry. Many people were called yesterday, they will hopefully start calling back today.
I had a supremely useful half day off yesterday. I got some really irritating banking done, a flu shot, a physical, a pile of bloodwork and other crap put on the to do list, epsom salts, more almonds and eggs and butter for biscotti, got the block taken off Katie’s phone so Dax can call her again (I willl be glad when she’s working again and can start paying for the damned phone – o did I mention she starts work in a call center on Thursday?) which is not happy making, but I promised. There was other useful shopping and errand running in there but that’s the general idea.
I am fatter than I’ve ever been in my life. This is an emergency! Send out for more cheese dip! (This is a Laugh-In reference, in case you were wondering.) My next vacation will be to a fat farm; in the meantime, I need to eat more soup.
My latest quest to loose weight includes drinking 16 oz of room temperature water before I have a snack or meal. This has done wonders for my digestion, BUT it’s supposed to curb my appetite (which it definately does). Now the real test will be to see if my waistline and/or my weight go down.
Water. I’ve heard of that.
Jeff said he was the last car on the ferry.
Water. Worked for me the last time I tried it, but I was doing the bottled water thing, so the bisphenol-A will probably do me in 😛
That was the Pilates/SouthBeach/gallons of water combo that got me down to…well, about 30 lbs less than I weigh right now.
If you ever need a companion for a trip to the phat pharm, I’ll be right there with you.
My water comes out of the 5 gallon jugs, so I guess I’ll be getting some of those bisphenol-As too. I looked at two gyms yesterday — GoodLife and Curves. By the time I got home I was so exhausted I could hardly stay awake to watch “Elizabeth” with Jim. Jim finds this very amusing to say the least AS I didn’t work out at either Gym just asked about the program and costs, took a tour, etc.
So far with walking for one hour twice a week, sticking to just healthy meals (water first), skipping desserts and doing a few daily stretches, I’ve lost 4 lbs. I found this mildly encouraging AS the first time I weighed in I’d gained 2.5 lbs. Yikes and WTF!!!
If I had the money, I’d happily take my vacation at a phat pharm.
