The one bad thing about this hotel is that the room comes with a scale, ironically the very same one I have at home. According to that device I have added exactly 2 lbs in the last 4 days. Might be true - monthly bloating, and although I don’t feel I have been out of [...]

The trade show weekend is going very very well. The booth is drawing in lots of people, I was able to arrange to have dinner with my sister and some friends, and the hotel is very nice. I have been eating well, and have not joined the groups heading out on the town each evening. [...]

Wine is definitely not my friend. More a frenemy. I like it and all, but I had 2 glasses last night and immediately puffed up again. It also did not help the insommnia. Skinny healthy people only have alcohol on special occassions, right? A two hour phone call should not be classified as a special [...]

I have been test-driving new cars, building myself up to having to buy one soon. The thing is that I really don’t care enough to comparison shop - I want economical, adequate and fuel-efficient. Other than that I don’t really notice things. The salespeople get carried away with sound systems, colour, tinted windows, storage, etc…goes [...]

Ok, one good night’s sleep and all is right with the world again…lol.
Finished my “75km in 4 weeks” self-challenge and have set a new one - 80km in 4 weeks. I think that is where I will cap my distance for a while, that is a lot of time devoted to wunning at my speed, [...]

My weird little mind is trying to sabotage me…suddenly I am panicking because I won’t be able to ‘wun’ outside when winter comes, and I don’t want to spend hours a week in the gym, cause I’ll get bored, and I don’t like the treadmill and the nike ipod thingy doesn’t work on the rowing [...]
