How many calories are in phlegm? March 12, 2008
This cold thing is very, very old. I feel like someone is inflating a balloon inside my face and then mercilessly laughing at me. Not to mention that whole sinus drainage thing… eww. Very, very eww. And, I’m up half a pound today, and I’m blaming it all on that post nasal drip.
Today was not so good. I took out half an apple danish and a chocolate chocolate chip muffin. I’m getting ready to mow down a double decker supreme too. Oh, you want to stop me? Yeah, wouldn’t reccomend that. Now, I know that eating the taco won’t make me feel better… but still. Food is totally unappealing and unsatisfying (except for, naturally, those things I shouldn’t be eating) I think I’m finding that I should just go for what I want to begin with instead of trying to substitute something else. Otherwise I’m ending up eating the substitute AND what I want.
All things considered, I can’t be doing too badly for near death. I actually managed to go out for a leisurely “hike” for an hour with Lucy, a friend and her dog. I call it a hiek because it’s on a mild uphill and not entirely packed snow. So, probably less calories burned than an actual hike, but more than walking. Today- no real exercise. But, we moved desks around at work so I was carrying boxes and pushing and moving stuff almost all day. And, I don’t feel good- gosh darnit!
So, I’m off to go wallow in my sorrows in TacoHell. Maybe I’ll even show myself some compassion and not step on the scale tomorrow. No… a true masochist couldn’t do that. Then again… if I were a true masochist…. I would actually enjoy the punishment the scale brings. Hit me baby one more time!
