Up at last here, just kept sleeping and yet I swore I'd make it to the gym this morning and I will do it, because this is Day 1 of my ME Challenge. Doesn't that sound wonderfully selfish? Well, it is and it's meant to and I'm trying to get that me that really does exist and does all these awesome things like eat brown rice, make fresh vegetable juice, do hard workouts before work, ride horses the same and all that. It's not that sloth of a bum that pigs out on sugar, drinks beer until morning and blows off riding and workouts with a lie of an email and a bigger lie to the real me. No, this is what it takes and I DO have it takes, for chrissakes. I've always had it but it gets easier and easier to forget it. So, back up. Yesterday was good too and Saturday as well actually but I'm going to call this Day 1. Logging the food is the other challenge, with an ESTIMATE of calories. I hate calorie counting and always will and when I do it it starts me eating junk. Forget it. I have NO idea how much I should be eating when I'm working out like a demon when I start thinking calories. But if I listen to my body I can tell. It's just that the sloth ignores it. Well, I'm calling foul on the sloth and listening to ME.
Oh, and I'm starting another challenge, one I just thought of. I'm going to eat an apple every day. It's still the season. They're cheap, great hunger satisfiers, and healthful.

mod -- You silly thang. Do you think I'm sitting here enjoying your support and then checking it against what you do for yourself. Hail no. You can do what you want, just as long as you prop me up. No, really, hypocrisy?! Come on. If I ever did even a fraction of the things I advice consistently I'd be on the maintainers forum, not here with 30 lbs of the soft stuff to burn. Besides, I know what you've accomplished. I've SEEN the pictures. Wow. And, I know that despite your great attitude you have a lot of stuff going on that would have most people down for the count and staying down. No, you're made of tough stuff, mod, you can't fool me with your couple days of goofing off.
So, I see I was just out of it with your challenge. Glad to hear you're going strong. You see, I have no problem telling people to get with the challenges even when I'm lolling along without a clear one myself.
Oh, and you posted on 2/4 and 2/6 in Japan.
Apple -- If having you here is being "stuck" with you, then I'm going to have to redefine the expression. It's probably no wonder that when things get tough, we have two of the toughest still hanging on and going strong.
I hear you on the crunches. Another joy of being single. So far, my cats have not learned to vocalize their criticisms of me. I see it in their eyes though...
And, Apple, I haven't been to a movie theater in years myself. I was just thinking of it the other day when I passed one early in the morning and thought, who goes to a movie at 9 a.m. on a weekday? It would be nice though sometime, to do something so different. Well, hope you got that run in.
