Much rambling to be found herein:

First,


Jesus thinks you're a lazy shit. Even if He wanted
to hang out with you (which He doesn't) He
knows that He'd have to come over to your
house, which probably smells funny. It's too
bad Jesus is omnicient and can find his own
weed connection, Cause that's about all you
have going for you.


What does Jesus think of you?

Second

The price of gas has gone up AGAIN. It's now 97 cents a litre, which is about $2.92US a gallon. This is pissing me off today.

I have gained 10 pounds since I started exercising and eating right. TEN FUCKING POUNDS in about a month. There is no way on earth that can be all muscle mass. This is evidenced by the fact that my clothes are NOT fitting better, rather they're becoming tighter. In addition to this my fecking lung muscle STILL hurts like a sonovabitch and it's been a week since I pulled it. I am sorely tempted to say screw the whole thing and take the money I'm spending on the gym membership and go buy myself an awful lot of chocolate. And yes, I know I've posted on occasion that I have perhaps not been as calorie concious as I could have been, but not to the point of gaining 10 fecking pounds. To add to that I look like crap. I feel all bloaty and blotchy and just plain icky.



And third, because I really need to do this every once in a while to smarten myself up.

Three things I am grateful for:

I am grateful that spring is "officially" here and should be unofficially here fairly soon.

I am grateful I have a job wherein I can sit for 45 minutes and post this kind of blather in the morning.

I am grateful that I have enough money and resources that I am able to go to the gym and able to stock the fridge at work with grapes and leave bananas on my desk.

muscles DO weigh a lot more than fat, as you already know...but there could be some redisposition of your...um...body matter before things settle out. you arent really chunky anyway, you are just tall. ;)

a couple things you can do to jump start the losses...be religious about the water intake, try 6 eight ounce glasses a day. cut out carbonated stuff, even the diet things; those CAN make you bloaty. try to limit yourself to only one or two cups of coffee each morning. the caffeine can be counter productive.

who says you cant have any chocolate??? just work it into your calorie count. chocolate has mythical healing powers and MIGHT heal your pulled intercostal muscle. are you a doctor??? you dont know what might work, best to try everything. also at the very least chocolate consumption releases endorphins into your bloodstream, you are in pain, so you definitely need those endorphins. listen to me now, i'm a nurse!!!!

lastly, you are probably ovulating or about to menstruate. that'll add both pounds AND bloat. how about adding some lemon to some of that water? it'll diurese you...of course the water alone should do that.

nice seeing the 'three things' again. i'd gotten out of the habit lately, too.
:D

I have been drinking fluids religiously. Not so much soda, but tomato juice (yes, sodium = water retention) grapefruit juice and green tea in addition to plain jane water. I've cut back to one cup of coffee in the morning.

Truthfully, I'm not limiting anything out of my diet - including chocloate, though again truthfully, chocolate isn't that big a deal for me (Nachos, on the other hand... now that's another story) However saying I'm going out to blow my gym membership on chocolate had a much better sound to it. Ooooh, however if it might heal my Inter-coastal-waterway muscle, I'm all for it. :) (Smartyshowoffpants!)

And lastly, BINGO. Which only adds to the moodyness and the water retention, which ticks me off all the more. It's just a no-win situation, ain't it!

me, miss smartyshowoffpants??? *I* cant name all the parts of the cell, now can i??? :D :D :D

i like inter-coastal-waterway better anyway. sounds more refreshing!

i HATE that bloaty feeling because i never know how to get rid of it, plus i'm already irritated which doesnt help a bit. no-win situation, indeed!

on the upside, after this episode is over, you'll drop down a pants size or two....

pah, I filled up my car the other night and it was 79.something pence a litre. To save you working it out, that's a dollar 80 canadian. Bah. and indeed humbug.

and I keep telling people but when will they listen? exercise is NOT good for you, and junk food IS a gift from the gods. Get over it people..
