Becoming Tawnya

Well here I am at 7 am. I was able to wake at a decent time once again. I think it helps that I am in bed by 11 pm. It snowed a little here early this morning. I have been waiting for snow. I love the snow and I love the snow capped coniferous trees! They are so beautiful!

I’ve been having issues with food again. Since I am focusing on not eating, I’m eating more. My choices have been decent, however, and I have been engaging in “activity”–not necessarily “exercising”. My activity has been walking. Wait! I’ve been walking for exercise—2 miles in 30 minutes. That’s a faster pace for me. AND I do it in 40 degree weather. Anyways, food. I felt so full by the time I went to bed last night. I was at Mum’s helping her set up her computer and she made lunch. She made egg salad and potato soup. I didn’t finish my egg salad, which was only on one piece of wheat bread. But I did eat this huge mug of soup. If it’s in my face, I’ll eat it all! That’s garbage. I must, must, must! take my own portions from here on out. I cannot leave anyone in control of my portion intake! I was busy working on the computer and I’m sure she just didn’t want to interrupt me or distract me or something like that, so she served me. I don’t think she was ever so evil to purposely overload my portion. The overeating drives me crazy. So for dinner, I had the rest of my egg salad and another (SMALLER) portion of the soup that she sent home with me. I was stuffed! Then I became ill with constipation. Argh! I haven’t had that problem in a very long time. I wonder if it was the milk in the soup. (I don’t normally drink milk.) After that food for the entire day, I ate around 6 or 7 Cordial Kisses and half a bag of Jumbo Pop. I drank so much water, probably 3 cups, before I went to bed. I also drank half a cup of coffee for the sole purpose of stimulating my digestive system. It didn’t work superbly. I went to bed with a backache.

I must mention now that I am on my Linux box, finally. I took my Mum’s monitor after I set up her new eMachine (made by Acer America). This monitor is one of my first monitors, so it’s a 17” CRT. It works nicely with her old Windows XP Gateway, but not terribly good with my Ubuntu 9 Linux. (Her new box has Windows 7 and FOR THE RECORD, that version frustrates me as well all other windows versions. They are clearly the most slow-moving operating systems, which use more HD and RAM with each version. Windoze 98 SE was my favorite edition, if I had to choose.) Anyways, I’m having issues getting on the network, so I plan on working on that this morning.

I DO PLAN ON WORKING OUT today! I feel fat and bloated and have to poop! It’s driving me insane! Working out will only help. Plus, I can’t breathe. My allergies are terrible and I wonder if working out will help open my bloodlines and give me a better performing body. I’m miserable.
