November 19, 2007 — Just 4 Today

Just 4 Today I'llJust 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice (done once), drink 2 liters of water (I’ve drunk about 1/2 liter), walk 5 miles (yesterday 1.25), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.

It’s Monday and who knows what’s ahead — trying to cram a week-of-work into 2 days (while still getting my walking done) for one thing.   And enjoying the comments at Nancy’s place.

What are you going to do today?

    Hope y’all are doing well.

    I promise to start walking today…1.75 miles minimum. I promise to only eat three helpings of turkey on Thanksgiving Day instead of four. (I’m the cook. I DO have to taste-test things.) I promise to move that pile of woodchips by 12/1. I promise to write more, eat more fruit, and sleep better. Why wait for New Year’s Day, when you can start re-inventing yourself today?

    “Party on, Garth.”

    Anyone seem my evil doppelganger twin lately?

    Rick: look up. Here’s my evil twin.

    Huh? Oh. Yeah. J4T. Water. Go buy some more fiber supplement then take some. Walk if things don’t get too crazy — looks like a good day for it (the walk, not the crazy). Get a little writing done, besides the day-job writing.

    You feeling better this week, KB?

    One more week of Diet Hell – traveling, holidays, visiting family. Starting next Monday I’m back on track. Feeling like a squishy slug – way too many yummy meals this past week (no, I’m not complaining). Wishing everyone luck getting their work done in a short week, and passing up thirds of turkey and pumpkin pie!

    uh oh, evil twins on the loose! I wonder if mine has to watch her weight. No, I suspect she doesn’t, and that’s why she’s evil, haha. She eats anything she wants to!

    Hi, kib. Good luck with the Getting Things Done. And thanks. :)

    The best way to get back on track is to re-affirm your resolutions to an outside party. Like the one I met waiting for the elevator awhile ago. I see her from time to time in the building, no idea what her name is– this is a big building with LOTS of people who work here and/or are in and out all the time.

    I don’t know that I’ve EVER spoken with this woman before in the almost 9 years I’ve worked in this building. “So?” she asks me, “You’re looking skinny. Are you working out ?”

    I proceed to tell her a bit of my story, and the fact that I am resolved to never again weigh more than I do today.

    If you tell enough people, I think, they will hold you to it. Or at least you will be afraid they will. A little “healthy shame” is a lot better than a super-sized casket ! At least that’s my point of view. Just for today.

    That’s like my posting my word count on my blog – if I know someone else is watching, I’m more likely to stick to what I said I would do.

    I got home with a nasty sore throat and feeling rotten – I’m hoping I can kick it in the next 24 hours – boo!! :-(

    I don’t think that the world is ready for me to have a twin, one of me is more than enough. Just ask my wife.

    Beth– Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Hope it’s better soon. Being sick for Thanksgiving makes it a lot harder to feel thankful. Or do much of anything else. Been there, unfortunately, a few times…

    boran– not sure how many of you might be enough, but guess some of us around here are sort of strong personalities, aren’t we ?

    Thanks, catdog – I’m really hoping to kick it today, because I’m supposed to spend Thanksgiving with the Fetched clan! Doggone germs. Hope you have a wonderful one.
