brownies, chinese & yogurt.. all in a days' work

It's early or late depending on where you live I suppose. Either way I had a decent birthday. It was nothing particularly special, not spectacular, but a decent one nonetheless.

[take a deep breath - this next paragraph is one long-ass sentence]

It involved drunk friends making me brownies at 2am, sleeping in after a long evening of sitting around a table and chatting all sorts of "girl talkie things" with friends, taking a bath, gorging myself on cheap chinese food while watching Star Trek for the first time (Star Trek II if you must know), going to Walmart to buy a full length mirror so I can see my whole self and nothing but my whole self, going home to watch a few episodes of Family Guy, getting up and deciding to go meet some friends at an Irish bar for a cocktail, stopping for frozen yogurt with more ridiculous toppings on the way home, and coming home to my partner and furchildren.... (when it's not fall or spring I could care less how my grammar is being perceived)...

Anyway it's almost week two here on this journey I guess. I think week two will be something to do with ensuring I get enough hydration.. of course it's cumulative so it will still technically be "get your ass moving" week.. kind of indefinitely.

I'm waking up in the morning to find a Goodwill (or 6) to satisfy my need to shop with the hole in my wallet. I hope it will be fruitful :)

I didn't swim today. It's the only day yet that I haven't stuck with "get your ass moving"... I'll make up for it tomorrow or Tuesday (I hope).. last night I spent about 6 hours in the pool after having spent the day at the beach... so there was lots of swimming involved. Maybe that kind of compensates for today?... ok maybe not.

Here's to a mildly fulfilling weekend!

Cheers

  1. I bought a full length mirror early on, because there were no mirrors at home and I avoided them when out. It had allowed me to ignore the weight piling on. Better to know, even if knowing isn't fun. Swimming is great exercise and helps shape up as well as burn calories
    Sounds like you're headed in the right direction
