Weight:
Well, Aunt Flo, who has been conspicuously absent
for the past couple of months, decided to show her ugly face again. I thought I
was done with this monthly visitor, and moving on to the next phase of my life
with no fuss, no muss, no mood swings or hot flashes. I was wrong. Along with
my monthly came the usual cravings for salt and sweets and red meat and pasta
and bread. Also explains why my legs were killing me yesterday as I did my
calisthenics.
So I’m sure I killed my calories yesterday, but I
was so sure it would be depressing that I didn’t mark them down. There wasn’t a
fruit or veg in sight yesterday. I’ll need to make up for that oversight today.
I did do an extra 40 minutes on the treadmill to try
to make up some of the calories, and managed to burn an additional 214. This
morning, I went for my usual full hour on the treadmill. And still I wound up
gaining overall, coming in at 198.8. Some could be water weight, but I get the
feeling it’s pasta weight.
Words:
Lots of words this week—well ahead of the Little
Bites Challenge schedule, which is great. Total word count, as of this morning,
is 2117. That’s not including the words I wrote this morning, which will go on
next week’s check-in. I've been dreaming my story at night, then waking up and writing while I wait for the teen to get his butt in gear for school. School's out now, so we'll see how I go from here on out for the summer. Ironically, I'm not feeling very verbose right now, so I'll see you all Friday.
Vocab:
Forthright: Honest, unswerving
Story starter: Druid meets Christian.
