Treadmill. Miles. 3.
I ran my three stupid miles on the gerbil-o-matic tonight. 9:14 pace. Then I (FINALLY) did my upper body weight training. I think its been months since I did that. Oddly enough, things went ok and I didn’t have to drop the weights by much. Ofcourse, tomorrow (or likely the next day) I will be paying with maximum pectoral pain. It always seems to hit me there. You’ll recognize me because I’ll be the one clutching my chest when I walk down the stairs.
Got some last minute Christmas shopping done today. Also realized that I forgot to mail my Grandmother’s present today, so I may be heading to FedEx tomorrow so I don’t miss Christmas Day. Yes, I’m a bad grandson. Add that to lame father and rotten husband and it pretty much sums it all up. Working on this.
And one more thing. Why am I so damn stupid that I sat here, while writing this, and ate half of that damn organic milk chocolate bar. One minute its there, then next I am crumpling up the wrapper and I don’t remember eating it! Stupid, stupid, stupid.
How was your day?

What I spent my afternoon doing: http://www.manyfires.com/journal/truffles3.jpg
Aren’t you proud? :) Of course, I ’sampled’ so much chocolate that I have no need for dinner. And no desire to eat chocolate for the next week. I didn’t know that could happen.

hehe…I have the disappearing chocolate bar syndrome, too! Mmmmm. Someone handed me fudge as I was leaving a party last night. Where is it? It was in my hand, and now it’s gone!!

Food is magical, especially chocolate food. When it’s in my presence, it has an amazing propensity for vanishing. I am working daily at being more conscious of that stuff. I started a little notebook area that shows how many cheats I do in a given week. A little tally whack whack thing. Oh dear. When you see every bad thing you do mashed into tally marks in a little 1/2 inch box… ?

have fun with the shopping.
I had icky, no-fun day. Had to go to the dentist and then found out that my gift from The Hub is a kitchen appliance (he’s returning it today) and I didn’t get to run. need chocolate.

Running/chocolate, running/chocolate, it makes me dizzy.

That chip commercial that says “Bet ya can’t eat just one….” must have originated from someone eating chocolate. For me its those chocolate covered almonds. I once ate 2 whole boxes in one sitting and quickly destroyed the evidence. :-)

Hey, you’re under stress. Chocolate’s okay.
Hope your grandma’s gift made it on time. I’m in the dog house (like I wasn’t already)–the gifts for my mom didn’t make it on time, so it appears I am disowned. In some ways this is a relief, but I expect the respite won’t be too long lasting.
And, you do know you’re not bad, lame or rotten, right?
