Support My Lumbar

by

I didn’t know I had a lumbar, but now I’m worried about it’s survival. Apparently having a lap top makes you type in all uncomfortable crazy places and positions, then you get in a car, and GASP! – it has no lumbar support, and then your back is broken.

So, if you could – I don’t know what I need – send me some support, that’d be fantastic. Rumor has it this is a ploy to get me to shell out $50 some-odd dollars for a pillow.

It’s true, I type on the floor, a desk, at a bar, coffee shop…I thought about writing in the car, traffic was pretty bad…but what is this nonsense all about? I’m in pain! Who has time for that?

I’m trying to finish a novel here…

I think I’d rather just have a glass of wine, thanks.

October Tally

by

Final count on the Calendar of Depression:

  1. The letter W (for weights) appeared a total of 15 times.
  2. The letter C (for cardio) appeared a total of 18 times.
  3. The letter D (for drinking) appeared a total of 5 times.

That’s a decent improvement, I’m assuming November will be crap what with not being able to write and work out at the same time…

Calendar Of Depression

by

I have a calendar reserved just for this purpose: I record the good, the bad, and the ugly. C = cardio, W = weights, and D = drinking (yes even one drink).

I started working out maybe in March ’06, before the wedding to try and get a little toned up for my backless dress. MK got me the best personal trainer ever, and I did three days a week with her and tried to also get a day or two of cardio in. After the wedding in May, I really wanted to keep up with it and become a woman of physical prowess…but it was tough with work being so stressful.

We cut back on the drinking big time, which I was hoping would lose me 20 lbs., but that didn’t happen. In fact, all the muscles did was make me depressed that I’m GAINING weight each time I get on a scale, so I threw the scale out the window. Now, since I don’t have to jump into a monkey suit each morning, I’m going to be working it.

My goals are a MINIMUM of 1 hour of cardio each day I make it to the gym, going for at LEAST every other week day. I’ll be no doubt changing it up in the future and posting each month what worked and what didn’t.

My debate now is if kickball actually counts as any exercise (I’d like to just at least not have to put the “D” up there…)

And chances are good, if you see me, from now on it’ll be in gym shorts!

No McNuggets?

by

vitamins are delicious

From my favorite comic, Toothpaste for Dinner.

That about sums it up.

You want to be healthy if you’re trying to become a world famous writer. And hot and skinny. This weekend Snippy reminded me about the importance of protein and vitamins. I accordingly went to Costco and bought approximately 12 lbs. of chicken for us and then took my horse pills. I wish we could substitute McNuggets and chewy Flinstones, but apparently for things to work and for you to be healthy everything must taste like crap or at least be too big to swallow.

And make your pee neon yellow.
