August 22, 2006 — Just 4 Today (updated)

22 08 2006

Continued from ...

Just 4 Today I’m going to regain the momentum that I’ve lost the last two days:

  1. I’ll walk 6 miles (I really will)
  2. I’ll take my fiber supplement 3 times (I’ve taken it once)
  3. I’ll drink two liters of water (I’ve drunk one!)
  4. I’ll make a sandwich for lunch (now done — it’s amazing how many things I do as I type my goals!
  5. When I start to think about special summer treats, I’ll get my journal out and write a paragraph or two. There is no reason to eat anything special today. It’s not like I’ll remember it next year.

[UPDATE]

I was in a freak car accident this morning right in front of my office parking garage. I was sitting at a traffic light (a RED light) when a crane/truck (in the next lane) suddenly turned and tried to drive over my car (did I say the light was RED)?

I’m fine (and he’s fine) the car — not so fine — but I could drive myself home. And I’m going to take a nap before I do much else….

Here’s the question, should I exchange the “I’ll walk 6 miles today” with “I’ll eat a large Sonic Blaster today” (after my nap)?

[UPDATE.2]

My new plan. I think I’ll go out and buy some frames and learn to frame and mat photographs (can I do all this in one afternoon?) I don’t think I’ll get that Sonic Blaster. I might buy some ice cream for later though….

Really, it’s no wonder I’m always gaining weight. At the first sign of trouble, I dream of food. Maybe working on a busy-hands project will keep me out of trouble.

(((katiebird))) I’m glad you’re okay and that the vehicle was at least driveable! As for the food trigger thing, I’m dealing with the same problem. So much stress at the jobsite and it sends me straight to the snacks. I really need to figure out a better way to deal with the chaos…

Hi Manee! I’m sorry this isn’t a good week for you either. Maybe we could spot each other. It might be easier for me to be strong for you and you to be strong for me??

Hi KB. So sorry about you accident, but I’m happy you’re OK.

The picture framing sounds like a good idea. I’ve thought of that myself before.

Hi, FamilyMan — Thanks for stopping by. I’m hoping to get one photo matted and framed this week. I wasn’t up to it yesterday after all (I was shakier than I realized) but I do have one antique frame and some uncut mat board. So tonight might be the night!

I stopped by your blog last night. I love your photos.

Yes, definitely. I’m finding it hard to be strong for myself lately, for other people it’s fine, but the internal stuff is off kilter for some reason. Well, actually I know the reason: unhealthy levels of stress. I guess the trick is finding different ways to alleviate it rather than eating a box of Triscuits or several Hershey nuggets. sigh…

Manee, I’ve got some ideas but I think I’d rather discuss them off line. Will you be open to g-chatting sometime this evening?
