i am it.

now fingers crossed that the blizzard hits calgary after my plane lands.  :)

I am starting to notice a trend in my eating habits around finals.  I think that I may be a stress binge eater.  My eating habits get awful around finals.  I start justifying eating horribly by saying that I deserve it or some such thing.  I need to somehow talk myself out of thinking that food is a reward so that I can't use the I deserve it argument.  I think that I need to find a way to think of it in a more functional manner. 

Hmmmmmmm

What to do....

(also known as my too frequent journal posts)

last night after work i met a friend to go see 2012.  we were given free concession tickets once we got there for free pop and popcorn.

i stared at mine for awhile. i pondered whether i should get some.  i mean, it's free.  free stuff is almost always pretty awesome, even if i don't much like popcorn.  but it was free!  .

..and then guess what i did?

i threw that bitch out.

edit: i threw the ticket for popcorn out.  never got popcorn...

that one of the guys in the boardroom for the meeting today looks a lot like matt damon.

clearly, this is big news.

*begins plotting on how to convince him to move to vancouver and get married*

I have been trying to switch up my running with the stair stepper, elliptical, and bikes.  I have been getting shin splints developing in my left leg.  I don't want to over stress it because I got shin splints really bad the first time I picked up jogging.  My quad on my left leg has been acting up too.  I think that this is my body saying that I need to do better warm-ups and stretch more.

I have lost a total of 10 lbs over about 2.5 months.  I know that is about the pace that I am supposed to be doing.  I need to learn patience.  I want to loose this weight healthy but I also can't wait till it's gone.  :P

I am going to take the time this week to asses my expectations and start to set some smaller goals so that I have more to be happy about between here and my overall goal.  With the holidays coming up, probably several of my smaller goals will be to maintain an overall weight loss trend through the holidays. 

(just following the trend here)

i like:

-granny things. (ie: tea and soft yarn)

-candles. (except scents like "after the rain", etc.  stop trying to mimic that smell, dammit!)

-bath stuffs.

-chocolate/candy. (but remember, i'm on CC for a reason :P )

-something small and souveniry (like a shotglass) from where you live. (y'know...the north pole)

-cooking.  i love cooking.

-reading.

-oh, and in case you're amaaarican, i love orbit sweet mint gum.

ok yay.

love, SLO.

PS - sending me matt damon would definitely be the bestest present ever :P
