fog rolled in

In the past 7 days I lost a pound and a half, and that’s after only three days of actually paying attention to calories and spacing out meals by 3-4 hours. Woo! I did an hour of cardio today for the first time in a long time and my legs really felt it by the […]

Sorry, more boring dieting crap real quick: this eating five small meals a day thing is already starting to work some magic on me. I have increased energy, and I haven’t once had that overfull/bloated feeling I would get after eating a big meal. I dunno. I feel… “brighter.” What does that mean… not sure. […]

My new gym bag rocks so hard. At least ten times harder than the incredibly crummy shapeless canvas shopping tote I’ve been using for months and months now. This new bag actually fits shoes! And has zippers! And pockets! It’s absolutely perfect. I think it was designed to be an airline carry-on shoulder bag, so […]

As I sit here enjoying my lunch (1.5 ounces cooked chicken breast, 1 cup of brown rice, 3 ounces of lowfat plain yogurt), it occurs to me that I definitely need to take this “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” book I’ve been reading with a grain of salt. As it were. As I read […]

It makes me happy to see the tiny buds and petals of pink and white flowers pushing forth from their pods on the city trees. They are still small, like moths clinging to a branch, but their presence speaks volumes — spring approaches. Poor Sasha kitty — he couldn’t or wouldn’t sleep last night, and […]

bye janvier

Just back from a big company party in the big lobby — I was invited for the fact that I have been here 5 years, though to be totally accurate it will be SEVEN years in July, holy mother of dog. After a half hour of speeches and blah blah, everyone flooded into the reception […]

had to work

Today was mostly swell. It was sunny and bright all day. We got up around nine, had coffee and french toast, and took it easy. At around eleven, we headed downtown to Nordstrom for their big designer suit clearance sale. Fifty percent off very good men’s suits, for only three days. Brian is buying his […]

no results

I went to the gym six days out of seven this week. For at least one hour each time. I did 30-40 minutes of intense cardio and weight training every day. I took a pilates class. I ate healthy food and kept a food diary showing as much. I did not lose a SINGLE FUCKING […]
