March Fatness Days 23 & 24

Day 23 - Thursday

Motivation: I look like a sausage. I wore one of my pants that I thought could stretch out a little and it was A HORRIBLE MISTAKE.

Ate: Coconut latte, PB&J, saltines, 1 can of coke, 30oz of tea, 8oz water, tofu veg sandwich


Moved: 40 minutes of "extreme" yoga, which I call extreme because my balance was HORRIBLE and I was just falling over constantly and nearly hitting my head on things. I don't know what was up.

Felt: flabby!

Etc: I'm honestly wondering if the ONLY way to lose weight is to give up all carbs and fat forever and run 20 miles a day. I hate my body.

Day 24 - Friday

Motivation: Wait, am I losing weight?

Ate: Indian food! Mmmmm (channa pindi, dal tudka, pakoras, roti), can of coke, 30oz tea, 24oz of water, chickpea pancakes and maple syrup, popcorn and soda at the movies, mini-corn dogs! Fridays are always a mess for me because I tend to eat as if it's two whole days, just from how much I end up being awake.


Moved: I almost didn't! I "took a nap" at noon and didn't wake up until 8:30. I ended up just doing my default 10 minute quickie work-out to knock something out.

Felt: not as fat as yesterday somehow?

Etc: I weighed myself and i'm 174lbs for the second time this week. If this sticks through April 1, then I will have actually lost 5lbs this month! Which is nuts because a week ago I was up to 181 and convinced I suck at life.

Gratitudes: Week Eight

Image
I got little sleep early in the week, but once I managed to get a full day I felt great! So, naturally, this week I'm messing myself up again by not sleeping enough. I'll get better, I swear!
18 February  Cody was dog-sitting over the weekend and through part of the week, so I was home alone with the cats, which is great except when vomit happens. I don't do so well with barf, but apparently Maxwell knows that so when Reuben horked, he took care of it. The less said about that the better.
19 February I don't have the tax refund yet, but supposedly it should be more than enough to throw into savings and have at the ready should something go wrong. Hooray! Hopefully it hits my account soon. 🤞🏼
20 February I have no idea how, but I discovered the My Favorite Murder podcast and I'm LOVING it! I've been listening to little else, despite the fact that the hosts have suggested other podcasts that I've grabbed and ALSO enjoyed the first few episodes of! It's a …

Gratitudes: Week Six

Image
This week was my SIX YEAR Veganniversary, guys! I'm so happy. I wish I'd been vegan for longer, honestly, and if I could go back in time I might slap my younger self and ask her what she was doing  still participating in needless animal exploitation, but I can't DO that because I don't have a kooky scientist neighbor and it's not the 1980s (thank god), so all I can do is celebrate that I've been vegan for over half a decade and make tofu from scratch.
Anyway, here's Wonderwall my gratitudes.
4 February
There was some weirdness with the delivery of said tofu supplies, which I think must have come down to the delivery driver being stoned or something. I was home all day last Sunday and then at around 11am, I got a notice that the package could not be delivered because I didn't give the delivery company my "gate code." I don't have a gate code. My fence is such a piece of garbage I barely have a gate. I checked on the website and the package …

So you want to get fit

So you want to get fit. Good for you! It’s extra admirable to want to get fit when you know it will never be appreciated by anyone else. Sure, fit bloggers and weight-loss gurus talk about how you should really make these life choices for yourself, but those of us who can be certain no one finds us attractive know that’s bullshit. We know normal people get fit because they feel they’re not getting enough sex and they know shedding ten or twenty pounds will exponentially increase the amount of times they’re staring at the ceiling screaming, “oh god yes,” while someone goes downtown.



It’s not hard to want to better yourself when you can be reasonably certain that looking better will be met with even more praise than you already get on a daily basis, come on.

Those of us who are pariahs and underprivileged in the ways of companionship know the real test is fighting forward in getting fit despite knowing that we will still be viewed as no more enticing than a half-rotten human finger stic…
