October 04, 2007 (Not too bad...)

Every night it's the same thing. I get home, I'm not even remotely hungry, but all I want to do is eat. And not just snack on a small something. I want entire packages of Nutter Butters and a half-gallon of milk, or two hot dogs a bag of chips and a pint of iced tea, or a pint of Ben and Jerry's. But, thus far anyway, I have resisted the temptation to hit the 7-Eleven. But it's not easy.

Though I do feel like it's working, which is good.

I didn't get in much excercise at all yesterday, which wasn't good. Just two walks with the pup. Today hopefully I'll be a bit better. Plus, I'm spending the night at my boss's house watching his kid, so I'll take the kid with me on a small hike over near Dodger Stadium. It's not as strenuous as Runyon Canyon, but will be a good walk nevertheless.

Not much else to report. Thanks for reading!

P.S. I was half-way dressed and on the phone when I took these pics today. Almost forgot!

October 03, 2007 (Skipped a day, but for good reason...)

Good morning!

Yesterday (Tuesday) I woke up at 7:30 a.m after barely sleeping for an hour and went to the dentist. Things sort of snowballed from there, and by the time I was done, four teeth had been worked over (in four hours) and my teeth were chattering as a result of the pain! Ugh. So I didn't manage to get anything posted here because of first, the early appointment, and then, the large quantities of drugs I pumped into my system to try and tame the pain.

Anyway, both Monday and Tuesday weren't bad days. Monday, I had my usual can of soup for lunch, and then chicken tikka masala for dinner. I have no clue what goes into the chicken dish (from my favorite local Indian restaurant) but it can't be good (otherwise it wouldn't taste soooo delicious). It was accompanied by rice and garlic naan (probably fried in lard or something else to make it too taste wonderful). And yesterday I didn't eat anything until dinner when I had a chicken noodle dish from a Singapore restaurant, and a piece of chicken and some rice. Probably not good for me either (though, truthfully, it wasn't as good as the Indian food the night before).

Exercise-wise, I managed to hike Runyon on Monday, as well as three 1-mile walks with the pup, and yesterday, got in three walks (but no hike).

Today should be no different than most. If I'm feeling up to it, I'll go for another hike.

Thanks for reading!!

October 01, 2007 (Stuffing... damn stuffing)

Yesterday was basically fine, but I did wolf down some turkey-flavored Stove Top stuffing late-night.

Managed to do two mile-long walks with the pup, plus a hike of Runyon. Ate my favorite chicken/rice/salsa/guacamole dish from Chipotle, and ate a bit of sherbert. Towards the end of my day, though, hungry and with very litle to eat in the house, I whipped up some stuffing, and ate it with ketchup. Gross, I know, but it's kind of good.

Anyway, not the best night ever, but I survived the day (and finally, no birthday cake after two nights of it!).

So that's about it. Nothing exciting planned for the day today... Just work and food-avoidance.

Thanks for reading!
