I'm with strangeshe, Ad1tu.
Set your boundaries and stick to them, annoying and exhausting as it is.

There you go!

Yep, me too. If "having fun" becomes a goal or even a chore, well, that's no fun!

Mmm, lovely salads & veggies! I'm so glad summer's almost here -- looking forward to all that lovely produce!

Thanks for the support, everyone :) I have noticed that the more I get into my nutrition / exercise program, the more frustrating it is to see / hear ads that say "Diets don't work! Lose weight quickly and don't change what you eat!" as well as the "Oh I could never do what you're doing" line I hear from people. The first one is annoying because all those things are unhealthy, (1) because it's not good for your body to drop weight that quickly, and (2) It doesn't do anything to prevent you from gaining the weight right back because it doesn't show you where your bad habits are. The second is annoying because I didn't think I could do it, but I'm at least trying. Yeah, it's hard, but it's going to be. You have your tastes and your body is going to get grumpy when it doesn't get what it's used to. And if you don't exercise or only do light exercise, ramping it up is going to be hard, because it does you no good to just lift a 5 lb weight with poor form and it isn't even 50% of your max weight. So yeah, you're gonna be sore! It's just hard for me to find ways to say these things nicely. I have the same reaction to that phrase as I do to, "Wow, you were a physics major! That must've been hard, you must be really smart! I could never do that." Ok thanks? I guess it's supposed to be a compliment?

On a more positive note, I just ate the tastiest yogurt EVER. The stores here just started carrying it, the brand is Fage and I bought the Total 2% kind. It's a greek yogurt. I've been having the Chobani yogurt, but it tasted a bit weird, so I didn't really enjoy it, but it was basically the only one that didn't add suar. The Fage is soooo creamy. And rather than the fruit mixed in, it comes in a little separated portion so you don't have weird watery yogurt. Highly recommend.

Got Thai for lunch. Soooo tasty.

Cold and rainy - I don't want to go outside!

Brrr. Cold, rainy day - astonishingly many customers, though, and astonishingly good tips for a rainy day, too. Nice! Also, my mother called me in the morning and invited me to dinner, so I didn't have to cook or do the dishes, and even better - tomorrow is a holiday!

Cleaned the garden yesterday with a high pressure cleaner. It's a completely different garden now! But boy am I sore.

Yikes, nearly forgot the (online) meeting I'm supposed to be running in ten minutes.

So much to do and so little motivation.

I just read my book with all the stories of Mooey the little purple dragon. I miss the bouncy castle!

Gmaen Mint!

* tries to make lots of noise to conceal quietness*

It'll be a bit more quiet, as I'll be gone for a few days.

Had a good weekend. Had the usual weekend fun (cleaning, laundry, groceries) plus we went to breakfast with fiancee's parents, which was nice. They didn't want to stay and visit for a while longer though, because their poor DOG was going to be alone. (I'm pretty sure your dog can survive for more than 3 hrs by himself...) So we played a bunch of Diablo 3. I played a wizard, which was fun. Then Sunday we went for an early morning bike ride, saw lots of ducks in the river. Finished up Diablo. Having never played the other 2, I don't really have a good reference, but I thought the game was overall fun. The dialogue was a bit cheesy.. some things you could see coming from a mile away (Yeah, it's so convenient that one character HAPPENS to have all the answers...) how they do skills is a little weird, but apparently there's an option to change them around a bit, which is good (haven't played with it yet).

So we came into work this morning and the servers were down. Fiancee is sys admin, so he went straight to work fixing it. Coworkers mingle about, drink coffee, I go around writing down everyone's clock in time... Then about 30 min later, servers are up and running, yayyyy! (Our crappy proprietary software doesn't play nice with ANYTHING, and somehow it hard locks the server.) So about 15 min later, I overhear coworker say, "Where are all my scans??" We have a big multi function printer (prints, copies, faxes, scans, etc) that everyone uses for scanning. Once the printer scans the paper, it then transfers the PDF scan over to the server. Well, coworker decided to do alllllllll the scanning (a good half hrs worth) while the server was not running. I literally had to walk away to laugh... the button you push says "Scan to Server"... what did you think was going to happen??
