    Bathroom remodel

    Since it was the End Of The World and all, we decided that we should do a bathroom remodel! Well, actually, it was because the shower stall developed a pretty good sized crack and we figured we had to do something about it before any serious water damage ocurred. Technically, it’s only a half-bathroom remodel, because all we’re going to do is rip out the shower and tub, to replace them with a fancy improved shower and a storage cabinet. Also, the crappy linoleum and carpet (Carpet! In a bathroom!) is going to be ripped out and replaced with tile.…

    Positives

    So the whole “mfp” thing is going pretty well. I’ve been doing this for 137 days (19.5 weeks) now, and I’ve lost 38.6 pounds, or 1.97 lbs/week. At first, I just took the mfp calorie goal and went with it. Now, I’ve been trying to up my protein to 40%, and I’m thinking about raising the calories a bit. Not totally positive about that, I think I want to make sure I’m consistantly getting some exercise, even if it is only cardio. Here’s what’s happened in 38.6 pounds: I can climb a flight of stairs without wheezing. Breathing deeply, sure,…

    Well, that’s interesting

    So I’ve been on this “diet” for about a month now. So far so good, I’ve lost about 11 pounds and have been feeling better. I really like the way that My Fitness Pal tracks stuff, and gives you a (reasonable) guideline. It’s the best site I’ve ever tried to use, and I think that I can actually stick with using it. I’m doing Nutrisystem right now, but I don’t think I’ll be sticking with that. It’s been very helpful, in that everything is the perfect portion, and nutritionally balanced. But oof, it’s expensive. I’ve been on it for this…

    Xmas blues

    Ugh. So sick. So Rob came down with the crud last week and was feeling pretty bad on Thursday. I guess today is my Thursday, because ugh. I hope so anyway, because I don’t want to feel worse. :-(   Judging by Rob, I’ve got another 4 days before I feel human. Hope the cough doesn’t get worse. In other news, the Slanket I got for Giftmas is wonderful for “too sick to be up but not sick enough to be comatose.” Yay for warm and cuddly! Which reminds me: FUCK the War on (some) Drugs! Useless assholes, I had to…

    No jury in the world….

    I’m trying to prepare for my oral interview in Spanish tomorrow, fighting my own rampant avoidance behaviour when the following conversation occurs: Rob: Want me to put headphones on while you’re studying? Me: Yes, please, if you don’t mind. Rob: No problemo. Me: (absently) No probleMA. Rob: So what you’re saying is that all problems are female? Me: No, words that end in “ma”….. shut up. Rob: (snickers)

    SOMEBODY needs to post here more often. My attention span has been ruined by twitter and facebook. :/ I’m not unaware that the above is short enough to be a twitter post. /irony
