Fast Food Nation R Us!

It’s time to revisit my goal of staying away from fast food restaurants, methinks.

A particularly disastrous outing to Wendy’s today has precipitated this particular “never again” moment. Nasty, NASTY food. Yuck. Happily, the sick feeling is staying with me to make me remember why I gave this crap up in the first place.

So, no more fast food—with the exception of lowfat Subway (hey a guy’s gotta eat something).

Wish me luck.

Holiday Temptations

And…it’s that time of year again!

I’m down fifteen pounds (yay!) and now the Holiday Season begins. I’m really going to try to be good this year. When I sat down with the nutritionist, it was amazing how often I was “treating” myself to various things. She pointed out to me that if you treat yourself all the freaking time, it’s not really a “treat,” is it?

She also pointed out that cheese lurks everywhere and that you can consume an amazing amount of calories just by going to Starbucks once or twice a day. Yikes!

Here’s hoping my holidays don’t turn into “open season” on bakery goods and hors d’ouevres!

Things are going well on Nutrisystem

Down 9 lbs so far, being fairly strict about following their rules. Except still putting cream in my morning coffee, and having low-fat (not non-fat) dressing on my lunch salad (the non-fat dressings at my lunch place are all nasty!) Enjoying the routine, the variety and the simplicity.

This very accurately describes my state of mind at the moment. It's getting to be time for the mid-afternoon Starbucks fix. I keep thinking I'll kick it, but every day--*pow*--the 3pm doldrums set in.

It does seem to be less noticable now that I'm eating very little sugar....the sugar roller coaster effect I think really exacerbates the whole "slump" thing. So hooray for progress.

Still, can't function without caffeine.....must work on that.

Document Review

After a brief respite from document review in the form of drafting some discovery responses, it looks like it's back to document review for me. Joy.

At least it's less stressful than producing work product; your work product is in the form of little Post-It Flags attached to the important documents. It's quite relaxing.

Stormy Weather

It seems appropriate that today was gloomy and rainy and stormy. There was a bunch of thunder earlier in the day, but I'm not sure it was anything THIS dramatic. Still, always fun to find a great picture on flickr and share it, especially when it helps move Larry Craig off the top of the page.

That's what I get for being topical and then not posting for a week. Yuck.

Barney Frank on the Craig Kerfluffle

"It’s one thing to say that someone can’t be trusted to vote without being corrupt, it’s another to say that he can’t be trusted to go to the bathroom by himself."

--Representative Barney Frank, on why he thinks that embattled Idaho Senator Larry Craig should serve out his term.

From the Schadenfreude Files

Old news by now I guess, but I just love this whole thing with Senator Craig, R-Idaho.

Also, why do the Republican hypocrites involved in these things always look so creepy?
