Getting Super Better

I think I need to stop saying I’ll write more, because then I don’t and feel like a failure of sorts. So, I’m writing now, but I won’t necessarily be writing more in the future.

The last week and a half I went kinda crazy and ATE ALL THE CARBS. Except, I still wasn’t even able to eat as much as I did even just six months ago. This is a good sign. Also a good sign is that even though I purposefully chose horrible eating habits, my body seemed able to regulate it all pretty well. This confirms my suspicion that eating well most of the time will not be derailed by a piece of pizza or cheesecake.

Soda, on the other hand, is being a pain again. It all started because work bought Cherry Coke Zero and I had a bad day and then I was drinking ALL THE CHERRY COKE ZEROES and it hasn’t really stopped. I also haven’t made a really concerted effort to kick the soda to the curb again, but you know.

I just discovered this website yesterday, http://www.SuperBetter.com, which makes goals (like weight loss, getting fit, quitting bad habits) into a system that’s like a video game with achievements and power-ups and bad guys to battle. It’s fun and so far it’s kept my attention and it’s easy to check in and level up. We’ll see if it continues to do the same in the next few weeks.

My weight has fluctuated in the past two weeks or so, but never more than 4 pounds up and I’d say all of that was due to water weight and wheat belly.

I bought minimalist shoes two weeks ago and LOVE them with all the heart my feet have. They’re pretty awesome. My only complaint, and it’s a minor one, is that occasionally my feet get cold because they have less material than regular shoes (hence “minimalist”). But that just means I need to hurry up and knit myself a nice pair of thin wool socks to wear with them. And then keep knitting more pairs to eventually replace all of my socks with hand knits.

I’d say I’m trying to keep up with the blog on my website (www.strategicserendipity.net), but that feels very much like “I’ll write more” and I just don’t know if I can really commit to that right now. I want to be able to, but I’ve got a few walls to scale before that time comes. I realize that part of scaling those walls will be to just write more, but all in good time.

So without further ado, I leave you with a picture of Ender. This is his “OMG the cats are doing something bad, but I’m just sitting here being good. pleasepickmeasyourfavoritepetplease!” face.
