Yes, Well

I know better than to buy popcorn, because if it is at home I will eat it. So what did I do Sunday? Buy popcorn. What have I done every day since? Eat popcorn. *smacks self on forehead*

 

Other than that, though, yesterday went well. I stuck to my diet, though I didn't quite get in all my veg, and I did some bustling around cleaning and tidying after work. It may not sound like much exercise, but it has to be better than being an Olympic-calibre couch potato. But Saturday, when I weigh myself, will tell me how well I really did.

 

I have been toying with the idea of losing this weight to be more attractive to men (another version of the AQ: Attractiveness Quotient). Raising my AQ for this reason, however, does beg the question as to whether or not I want to attract men to me in the first place. Having an actual target in mind does make it easier, I concede - that whole "I want to look great naked" motivation! But there is no one at present and I am focused on other goals. Losing weight does fit in with those other goals, of course. But I still remember taking up cross-country running in Grade 12 and being able to run 3 miles at lunch, returning to school still ready to roll. I did it because the guy I had a huge crush on, who went to a different school, also ran, and I wanted to be able to join him somehow, some way, eeeeever so casually, next time I got a chance.

 

Never happened, of course. But I was So Fit. I have never been that fit before or since. I still think about taking up running again, even now, but I need to find a good trail first. No running on concrete and asphalt for me, thanks.
