Well, today was not too bad but I have been off my workout plan all week.  I need to pull it together; I swear I can feel myself gaining back some of the weight I lost already.  It’s funny; this is always how I end up sabotaging myself on diets, start by saying ‘oh, well, putting extra cheese on that sammy won’t hurt, I’m working out constantly’ and then all of a sudden it’s a month later of being mostly sedentary and eating crap and I’ve put back on five pounds.  I had a VERY low key day today, after working hard all weekend.  Did some laundry, watched the True Blood finale (MaryAnn’s death AND Sam Trammell nudity. . . AMAZING, with a capital ZING!), read, started planning this live storytelling event I’m setting up over here (turns out, as usual, it’s going to be ten times more work than I thought it was), didn’t put on makeup and wore slippers when I went to the grocery store.  Tomorrow, I have coffee with my writing buddy, Katya, a planning meeting for the Moth event and a morning meeting with one of our clients. I have a lot going on right now, as always, but mostly I’m just waiting by the phone, convinced my sister is going to go into labor at any moment (and she really might- her due date is the 17th).  Things aren’t really working out with David and I think I need to cut him loose, but I’m dragging my feet about it quite a bit.  I haven’t been eating well or working out as much as I’d like, so I’m feeling huge and logy all the time.  I’m just so stalled with the weight loss thing; I need to kick start myself again and the only way to do that is to just DO IT.  I’m going to be pissed tomorrow when I wake up at seven, but I’m getting a real workout in tomorrow, as god is my witness.  I’m going to be so glad when the Biggest Loser goes up on Hulu this year; it’s such a good motivator.
