Best Delivery Guy Ever

Today seems like it was a whirlwind! I'm off to class in a few minutes. It will be my first experience with graduate school with actual people instead of a screen. This weeks topic will be Russia's impact on the Global Economy. I know. You're jealous. 

I had a hell of a workout last night though and my food intake has been pretty good this week. Next week I am back to walking and tomorrow night I'm going to kick off my weekend with a walk with Nancy up on Bigelow Hill. Who would have guessed the hill would see walk conditions before in down did?

Today I ordered a salad for lunch from the House of Pizza. Every time I used to get chicken burgers and fries, the delivery guy was the same. When I started with "TWTC" he applauded my frequency of salads over fries. From then on I was always a little embarassed to get my old fave because I knew he was paying attention. A couple of months ago he told me he was leaving to live in North Carolina with his son. I told him I wished him well and he wished me luck with my weight loss plan. He really was a hell of a delivery guy... I haven't connected with any of the other delivery staff in his absence so when I opened the door today I was pleased to see he had returned! He told me cost of living was ridiculous and he missed the area so he was back. Then he said "and you look like you're doing amazing with your salad routine! Congratulations!" 

It is always nice to see that efforts make a difference and people who don't see you on a regular basis can see that more than others. Today I'm calling that a win. 

Now I'm off to class to make my brain weigh more because it is so filled with smarts....

A Good Man

I have come to learn from doing this blog that I don't do stress well. When I'm stressed I'm not myself and I'm pretty miserable to be around. Yesterday, with a research paper staring me down, I let myself get worked up and stress got the better of me. On my last day of a wonderful 3 day weekend, I was... well... a shrew. I don't think I'm alone though. I think we all have our moments that we look back on and feel a deep shame for being so absolutely ridiculous. Certainly sometimes it is warranted but, for me, when I get like that I'm usually being pretty absurd.... like "How come you're not reading my mind and just do what I think you should be doing?!" I should also note that I'm one of those people that when I'm all pissy I can't help but slam things around. Anything I touch, I touch with force. I'm not proud of that but I can't seem to help myself. Luckily for me, the love of my life has the patience of a saint. In m

If it Weren't for Those Meddling Carbs...

If I am not writing, I am probably busy eating something that would make Shaggy and Scooby jealous... Not writing makes it easier to ignore that I am not living up to a commitment that I've made to myself. Writing reminds me how often I have taught others how to treat me by how I treat myself. Writing exposes me to exactly how uncomfortable I am when I am vulnerable. Vulnerability is why I eat like cartoon characters and pretend I won't gain weight like a human being.  I am certain that I am not unique in this dance with vulnerability. The world is a briar patch full of thorny shit and long ago we humans learned how to armor up to protect ourselves from being stuck around every corner. When we are kids, fresh into this chronologically excursion through the pricklies, we are just trying to figure out the world, it doesn't take an immense amount of brains to realize that getting poked hurts, hurting sucks, and protecting yourself from getting poked means you will hurt less.

Weight Loss Myths

Daylight savings time has actually had a pretty positive effect on my workouts. My inner clock is still set to wake up happy between 6:30- 6:45a except the actual time now is 5:30-5:45a. I  don't feel groggy or like I'm missing out on any sleep AND it is light out earlier so I don't get intimidated by the darkness and use it as an excuse to go back to bed. When I wake up earlier I feel better about the workout. It makes me feel like I'm one of those fitness bad asses that actually enjoy waking up early to workout. I feel like I set myself up for more productivity when I've already been up and worked out before I get to work. The one downside is that the "fall back" happens in November when it gets super cold in the mornings. This morning I woke up and enjoyed all of the aforementioned things and then I stepped out onto the porch and felt how cold it was. I pushed through and did some running just to warm up! When I finished my walk I was chilled but comf
