Where I was last week. The lake, the lake! You may remember my bravado from such posts as No Excuses, where I asserted with vigor that nothing was going to stop me now. I meant it when I said it, but in my amnesiac optimism I forgot that in the weeks before my Stelara injection [...] I couldn't find an image of Tom Bombadil that didn't make him look like a creeper, so here's his house. OR, How Many Topics Will I Cram Into One Post? Ten miles this week, now at mile 99. Spent a lovely time at Tom Bombadil’s. Missed eating meat, though. They appear to be vegetarian. We set [...] For once there is a reason to be happy that I’m “middle-aged.” Brenda Davy, Ph.D, R.D., associate professor, department of human nutrition, foods and exercise, at Virginia Tech and her pals conducted a study examining the effect of drinking two cups of water prior to each meal. The old diet myth is proved true; drinking water before [...] Old Forest. Or the woods along the lake where I walked today. My photo. At mile 78 today, I did FIFTEEN MILES this week. We have about 20 boring miles left in the Old Forest before Old Man Willow tries to eat hobbits and Tom Bombadil shows up. I was kinda slack with weights the [...] Dear Diary, today I lost three pounds, and punted a gnome. Happy! Day 1: Today weighed self. Ouch! Worse than I thought. This is the day I begin. I deserve to be healthy. Day 2: Walked two miles and lifted one set. Go me! Still fat, though. Day 10: Doing great, no weight gone yet, lifting two [...] I somehow feel an affinity for a living thing that wants to eat everything in sight. No idea why. There is a monster eating the eucalyptus trees that line the creek in my neighborhood. Its name is Morning Glory, which is polite-speak for an imported pestilence that threatens to devour half the state of California. [...] ??? Let me tell you a dirty little secret: sometimes, late at night, when I’m all alone in front of the television…I watch something, something with half-naked sweaty men ALL OVER IT. And oh, BABY I WANT ME SOME. Some P90X, that is. I want it, BAD. I’m sure you’ve seen the infomercials with that [...] OR, This Time It’s Going to be Only Regular Difficult. Plus, a small entertainment at the bottom of the post. Where I actually walk in real life. I started three weeks ago, walking briskly almost every day, lifting weights and cutting down my food portions. My pants are looser, my big tummy a little smaller. And [...] I love old books so very much. They smell like secrets. And Other Summer Business Joshilyn’s book tour visit to the Bay Area and my house is over, and I am MISSING HER madly. We had super-fun, she worked like a dog, a very pretty and brave dog, and there might have been a bit [...] We like to remind them that we're smarter than we look. How I learned to write a post in minutes, AND, rediscovering having two kids home for the summer. So I woke up this morning all groggy and sleepy, trying to get my ruined sleep schedule back on track by making myself get up way before [...] |
