December 13, 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 3.26), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.

As you know, my rules are meant to be something I can do no matter how confusing my life might get.  And mostly it works.  Still, confusion means the routine is broken.  And JUST-4-TODAY, I’m going to remember that the little things, like taking that fiber twice a day, make a huge difference.

One of the side-effects to taking the fiber in the afternoon is that the ritual distracts me from nibbling on something stupid (like cheese) while I wait for dinner.  I fill the little water-shaker & measure out the fiber & shake it & drink it & refill/do-it-again & rinse out the water-shaker & start peeing AND the next thing I know dinner is ready.  It’s astonishing.

What are you going to do today?

    Morning KB.

    Today is a cleaning day for me. I’ve got to get the whole inside of the house cleaned because we, as usual, have relatives due in tonight. The s-i-l that’s coming in has told me repeatedly that men can’t clean a house as well as women. So when she’s due to be here, I don’t want the house even a little bit messy. I keep wondering when she tells me that, if she’s only manipulating me to get the house spotless.

    Whether she is or not, I guess it gets the job done. :)

    Hope everyone has a good day out there.

    Hey all!

    FM, the proper response to your sister-in-law’s prejudice is: “Here’s the broom, here’s the dust-rag, here’s the vacuum. Knock yourself out, I’m going to take a nap.” I’ll bet after a couple of those, she won’t say boo about who does a better job of cleaning.

    It’s been raining this afternoon, but right now it’s stopped. Maybe I’ll get my walk in after all.

    Hi kb. It’s a stormy snowy day here. Guess I’ll get some exercise shovelling the white stuff.

    Hey, I’m later checking in than boran! I guess the only proper thing to do is yell, ‘LAST!’ :)
