apples are yummy. how is it that i always forget that?

i’m pretty pathetic when it comes to fruits and veggies…if someone’s not there to wash and slice it for me, i just do not eat it. stick prepared fruit in front of me and i’ll gobble it all up. but then i’m so cheap that i refuse to buy the pre-cut fruits and vegetables at the store. it’s a silly circle. a sharp potato peeler and an apple slicer/corer help a lot though.

the other day i bought 4 bananas and 4 apples. so far, i’ve eaten all the bananas and 2 of the apples. believe me, this is a HUGE deal – we ALWAYS let at least 75% of our produce go bad. so sad.

so my hunger is gone, and i shall venture off to bed. wish me luck, since i never fall asleep without husband in bed with me. he’s my little furry security blanket. but i’ll try it anyway. six a.m. comes so damn early…if it didn’t, i would walk in the mornings!

way to go!

May 3, 2005 at 9:05 pm (just life, old livejournal)

I just crazy danced* my way through 33 minutes of Poison songs! Every time I wanted to quit (which was quite often) I would say, oh there’s just 1:20 left in this song…just one more song…20 minutes is nice, but wouldn’t it be GREAT to say you lasted 30? and so on. And it worked! I actually listened to my mind instead of my lazy-ass body. And it feels goooood. Also, I’m thinking that Unskinny Bop might need to be my theme song…since I “bop” and am definitely “unskinny”. Interestingly (or maybe not), I used to think they were saying “Oh, skinny bop”. So maybe I can bop my way to skinny. I’m a nut.

*crazy dance: to move around in a horrendous, embarassing fashion; sole purpose is to get heart pumping and sweat pouring; never intended to be seen by anyone including the husband or the public in general.

proud or not?

May 3, 2005 at 8:26 pm (in my tummy, old livejournal)

I’m trying to figure out whether to be happy about my dinner or not. Here were my options:

1) frozen burritos
2) walk to Chipotle and get a bowl

Walking would be good, but I would eat way more. I didn’t want a burrito, since that’s what I had for lunch. So I settled on an apple and some SmartPop (94% fat free; 40 calories per cup) kettle corn. It was mighty tasty. But is this a reasonable dinner? I hate being hungry before bed, but I know I will be tonight. I need to eat more. Arg. But I need exercise too!

Ack. Life is frustrating without a husband home. Yeah, I rely on him too much sometimes…but that’s because he cooks for me and motivates me to walk (keeps me safe from all those bad guys out there too).

I want to dance now. I’ve been in a Poison mood all day, and Poison makes me dance. And to think, before PC came into my life, I never knew any of this stuff.

This is a quickie. I’ll add a backdated, detailed account of each day later. That’s how cool they were.

Friday: eating was good, exercise was great. I swam laps for about 20 minutes, which felt great, and I did a lot of cleaning at work, including carrying the vacuum upstairs and then back down again. That night, I was thrilled to find that my muscles ached. I was proud.

Saturday: The joy of muscle pain starts to wear off, as I can hardly walk when I wake up. Today had sooo much exercise, but the food could have been better. I worked a booth at the race and did plenty of walking & carrying heavy stuff around. That night, our band was opening for Styx, and I was the go-get-it chick. I must’ve walked miles around that park and back. My feet burned when it was over. We had another show later that night, but I hurt so much that I just sat in the car for it. We stopped to get food on the way home (they didn’t feed us at the gig, causing me to rely on a bag of Combo’s that my husband bought earlier to last me for about 10 hours….this is probably why I say that food was not great today). I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich on the way home, and decided to make it mustard-only. I hate mustard. I like mayo on my chicken sandwiches. It was a tough decision, but I was proud of it. It didn’t taste all that great though. I really don’t like mustard…but I like dry chicken even less. We finished the night off with urgent, intense, mind-blowing sex. Rock and roll seems to have that effect.
