Eeyore

I'm hurting a little more than usual right this second. Couldn't tell you why. Although I suppose I could if I thought hard enough on it.

So this turned out to be a pretty good week. We'll call it 6 for 1 against. Although I suppose it could just as easily be 5-2 or even 4-3. But we're optimists right this second. So 6-1 it is.

Today went in the shitter straight away. Although I'm still hoping to pull it out by the skin of my teeth. I've done a lot of thinking today, which could work out either way.

I just finished book 5 of Promethea. I reckon I'll be done that by tonight. I don't think I'll go back to reading Swamp Thing right away though. I think I'm going to try and crack through the Nightwatch books in a week if I can. I did manage to watch Pineapple Express the other night. It was ok. Nothing great, but I liked it. I want to see The Wrestler at some point this week. I should be able to find time. I actually think I'm taking a good chunk of Monday off even if I can't take the whole day off.

The Nutrisystem diet is going ok. It'll be tougher in a week when I run out of the food I actually like but next month should be easier since I changed my order around. I had some pasta the other night because I was starving, but you just can't eat the plan food. You're supposed to add stuff, just make sure it's the right stuff. So I need to work on that a little. I'm back on the treadmill as well. Going to try and get three or four miles under my belt each day. Work my way up, you know? Really making a run at this thing. Just don't feel like dying quite yet.

On the other hand I won't be following the diet tonight. Going to take the kids out to dinner because they're bored as hell. I've actually only eaten 140 calories today. And it's damn near 6:30, so I've got a little wiggle room. Just have to try and behave myself.

Anyway...nobody's around tonight. So if I go out after I drop the kids off it will be myself. Something I'm doing far too often lately...or maybe not often enough.

Wish me luck. It's going to be a long night.
