Just had a Smores Pop Tart to tide me over until dinner.

Hahaha, I thought I heard someone pressing their ear to the door when you last visited us!



The French onion soup was quite tasty by the way. The guyere cheese was a very nice touch and has a nice mellow flavor that pairs so well with the white wine in the broth. The problem with guyere cheese is that when it's heated it smells a bit like dirty socks. X-D So yeah, the house was a bit rank and we had to open up some windows.

Sbrinz (swiss too) is also good for French onion soup! it's less smelly cause you don't need to use as much of it.



I've been having extravagant breakfasts lately, it's really great. Just feasts, really, 4-5 courses!

you can't tell how much I fart because I smoke so much. Actually, that's why I smoke so much. To cover the savoury ass aroma.

considering how much weed you smoke, i wonder if you can get high off your own fumes :-? X-D

only after the pot brownies.

Pop Tarts and green tea. Study nourishment of choice.

hahaha, it sounds like Pop Tarts are getting to be quite the staple around your house!



Just had 3 shrimp gyoza and a sizable portion of stir fry mushrooms (not *that* kind) and green beans.

Pop Tarts are a rare treat that are acquired only when I do the shopping myself and even then only once every few months. I had one of them yesterday and one now.



I really am being Mr. Healthy (by my standards anyways) these days. Because I slept in so late, I'm way behind on eating for the day. As much as I'm trying to watch my calories, I don't want to go overboard. It's 8 PM and I've had only about 55-65% of what I would normally eat, calorie-wise, in a day. Will have maybe one more small snack before I go to bed around midnight, I think.



Have lost just over 10 pounds in the last 6-7 weeks though. Trying to do it the healthy way, for a change. Making sure I'm eating a diverse bunch of foods, not cutting out carbs too much, lots of protein, plenty of anti-oxidants. Cutting out, well, down, the booze for the most part too. But still with room for the odd treat or two and the odd drink or eight.



(And soccer and a little bit of physical activity helps too. I don't want my muscle to waste away. Speaking of which, how are the belly dancing lessons going?)

Well, I didn't get to go last week because we headed out to Arizona, and I probably won't go tomorrow because we're cutting it short on cash til Friday. Plus I'm sick and don't want to go to classes when I'm not feeling well. I think I'd like to commit to signing up for multiple sessions - it's cheaper that way and I'd be more inclined to make it a part of the weekly routine which will cut down on the excuse factor. It's a lot of fun and I really enjoy it. My teacher is really cool and very down to earth. I just don't like "working out" at all so this is a fun alternative since it's not like I go out dancing as much as I'd like. And I'm tired of being a klutz and could stand to be a little more graceful, dammit. :P Also included in the class is some light yoga stetching which is low impact. I know yoga is what all the middle aged housewives are doing these days, but you feel so good but not overly sore when you're done.

It definetly helps to get into a routine. With my school/work schedule being both erratic and sometimes overwhelming, and with a total lack of funds right now, I haven't been able to crack down and get a gym membership, but I've been very committed to a bare minimum of physical activity around the house each day which I have not broken once in the past month and which I keep increasing in intensity and length.



I really dislike the whole "going to the gym" thing, so I may try and get a modest home set-up when I can, because it's a lot easier for me to motivate myself for 10-15 minutes at a time than the whole 2-3 hour thing of shower, drive to the gym, workout, shower, drive home, etc.



It's really gratifying to see results though, esp. knowing that it's being done the right way. I can see a huge difference in how I look and, equally important, I feel like a new player out there on the soccer pitch. The endurance, speed, even awareness and speed of thought have improved a lot over the past few weeks just from losing a bit of gut and getting rid of the smoker's cough.



I feel worthy of being team captain again and like I'm providing a positive example out there (even if I still can't break my scoring duck). It's probably no coincidence that the first time out clubbing since getting my shit together scored something of a result, too.



Confidence is contagious. But Pop Tarts are addictive. ;-)



(And nothing wrong with yoga. My ex's dad was into it for a fair bit and he seemed to be really enjoying it. I know I could definetly get a better stretching routine going, esp. after games. I really feel the lack of post-game stretching about two days later. But I'm always in a hurry to shower and get out to the clubs.)

Yeah - the routine is a huge thing. Right now my routine is being sedentary and it's sort of like a domino effect. My job is sedentary and I am somewhat emotionally drained at the end of the day, so I'm more inclined to come home and relax my brain which in turn makes me not want to do much physical activity - not the best thing. But I do like to clean house. I'm not doing a good job unless I am breaking a little sweat!



About 7 years ago I got a bug up my butt and got a gym membership. I am the least sports minded/working-out-is-fun person ever, so this concept was rather funny but at the time I was committed. I used to go every other day for about 2 to 3 hours. Sometimes I'd make it a point to go 4 or 5 days in a row. I was a stay at home mom, so I'd go late at night when stash got home from work, and that was my alone time. It was great because I could eat anything I wanted and I managed to drop some weight. Then I stopped going to the gym, continued to eat anything I wanted and all the flab came back and then some. X-D Now I'm where I want to be weight wise (give or take 5 or so pounds) so it's just a matter of buckling down and getting some excercise. These things become a much bigger challenge the older you get, and gravity starts working against you like it's in cahoots with your slowing metabolism - bah!! I could use the gym I have on my apartment's premises, but in general I don't like gyms at all and I find them to be... oh, I don't know... a tad bit on the filthy side. I tried re-joining a gym later on only to pick up some nasty bacterial infection which inflamed my eyes and made them all watery and pussy - which I can only attribute to something I must've picked up at the gym since I never had it before or since. But then there's the pay off of the gym which is nice.. I had a lot of energy, felt relatively good about myself and it really boosted the ol' sex drive.



But yeah, back to the routine. I can't wait to get in on the dance lessons again!

My ex did exactly the same thing about 18 months back. She was so hardcore that it was having a detrimental effect on school and work because she was hardcoring it so much. But she looked fantastic again, like she did when we started dating. Was able to wear some really stunning stuff. And the knock-on effect on her confidence was great and was good for our relationship.



Then she burned herself out on it, stopped going and put it all back on and then a little more. A real shame, as she was starting to look like quite the stunner again.



I'm trying to avoid that by not going all-out but just steadily increasing my levels of activity and adding healthier options and subtracting unhealthy options from my diet gradually. I'm within about 5 pounds of where I want to be and when I get there I'm going to have to start weight-lifting to get a bit more muscle on my arms and chest to avoid the scrawny emo-look. Or I could just buy a skinny tie and tight pants. ;-)

As it is, many of my friends look shocked and ask me if I'm being serious when I said I want to lose a bit of weight. But they're all lazy feckers. And not single. ;-)

I was, just clearly not funnily enough.
