Damn.

yup, just gone. Autosave lied and was instead my undoing. Now I can really weep and gnash. ARGH.

Well, to sum up, I'm feeling pretty great about a few things from today.
1) I have a goal that's within spitting distance. Goals you can spit on are definitely more reachable than goals you cannot spit on, even if you are a measly spitter. The idea that you can see something and it's within your grasp makes it that much more doable. It's not a big deal. It's like oh yeah whatever 2 pounds blah blah, pass me that screwdriver.
2) Awareness comes sometimes from just packing snacks, knowing caloric content, and trading out as needed to accomodate unexpected snack opportunities (and by snacks I mean everything from morning oatmeal to apples and fig bars to soup for lunch to crackers and yogurt). And no, today didn't introduce all of those things to mouth, but many were key players in staving off the advances of Jelly Beans and EvilCake 2.0, which has continued to lurk about work. Rice cakes to the rescue (and gum, lots of gum).
3) Cardio is fun, albeit largely involves spacing out watching TV while attempting to suffocate myself with my own sweat. I like it. So much that I didn't want to eat dinner afterward, just keep marinating. Alas, I freed myself from the clutches of the fleece hoodie and have been perspiring at a closer-to-human level since. And I had prunes. Mmmm prunes.

Now time for tea and a book (unless I accidentally delete again, in which case I shall inflict some kind of self-torture, like tumbtacks to the thumbnails, or watching Jeff Foxworthy do anything on TV). So far so good...
