Random… (Day 3 - Week 1)
Why is it that when I bumped up my exercise on Spark people from 3 times per week to 5 times per week it lowered my calories? Yesterday, working out 3 X it said my calorie recommendation was 1710. Today working out 5 x per week it now says 1550. Makes no sense I tell you. It must be some new fangled math. I'm still sticking with 1800 calories since I know it works.
My TOM is coming soon and my skin feels like an oil slick. I also went to bed with fairly clear skin and woke up with 5 massive zits along my jawline. Seriously my jawline looks like the surface of the moon. I hate being a girl sometimes.
Today at work I saw an overweight co-worker wearing forest green stir up pants with tapered legs that were about 5 inches to short for her. I wanted to hug her and tell her that just because she’s over weight she does not need to give up. She does not need to disguise her plump legs in the most hideous pants possible. This does nothing to camouflage her extra weight. All it does it point that she has no fashion sense. She needed a hug, either that or an intervention. I seriously considering secretly signing her up for What not to Wear.
Last night my roommate told me in a disgusted voice that my dog had been dragging her butt across the carpet earlier. For some reason every time I think about it, I picture my roommate’s horror-stricken face and I giggle.
I’m trying to quit drinking soda so I put up a sign in my cubicle that has a diet Pepsi can (my drink of choice) with a circle and a slash through it. Every time I look at it, it reminds me how delicious an ice cold diet Pepsi tastes like and I want one. If I could scrounge up a $1.25 for the vending machine I would be drinking one right now. Glad I never carry cash with me.
Every day I appear to be getting happier and more pleasant. I wake up, usually after 8 hours of sleep and when I leave for work the sun is shining and bright. Yeah, it’s usually only in the high 20’s or low 30’s but it still puts me in a good mood. Also, when I leave at 5:30 it’s not completely dark. The days are getting longer and I can feel spring around the corner. This makes me so happy!
Last night I made a SparkPeople recipe, Tilapia parmesan fish. I MUST remember to read the instructions carefully. It required 2 tsp of mayo and I put in 2tbs of mayo. It was not Tilapia parmesan fish. It was Tilapia mayonnaise fish. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Props to my roommate for eating it without complaint.
I hate wearing shoes or slippers when I’m home. I love the freedom of being barefoot. Yesterday I was in the bathroom peeing (yes, TMI) and I realized that my bathroom floor was covered in hair from my roommate’s boyfriend. He has long 90’s hair and refuses to brush it since he’s balding a bit according to him. It really grossed me out because I realized that his hair must be everywhere in my condo only it’s not as easy to see with carpet as it is on the tile. I shuddered and quickly donned my slippers. I quietly cursed him as I wore my fuzzy baby blue slippers and felt my feet quickly overheating. Hmm…maybe if I take out the vacuum and take a piece of paper and tape some of his stray hair to it and write his name on it, he will get the hint. I am so subtle.
Yesterday at the fitness center at work a cute, thin blond got on the treadmill next to me. I resented her cuteness and thinness. I made a face when I saw her and scowled when I noticed she was wearing a sorority t-shirt. I momentarily thought about switching to the elliptical. That is awful. I assumed she was annoying or bitchy just because of her looks and because she was in a sorority. I had no right to resent her without even knowing her. She could be perfectly nice for all I know. From now on I’m going to try not to discriminate against thin, cute girls. Not to mention, I caught a glimpse of my scowly face in the mirror and it’s not cute. I look cute as a button when I smile. More smiling less scowly! (Is scowly even a word?)
