Thoughts for Today

1. I did something sort of crazy today. I worked out for four hours. And oh wow I am sooooooooore! It started when I got on the scale. I don't know what possessed me to get on the scale in the first place because that thing causes me serious angst. So, I thought seeing the number would make me cry. It didn't. I thought it would disgust me. It didn't. I thought I would be angry at myself. I wasn't. It did spur me on to do something. I started the food journal today, and I got moving. Moving moving moving. I walked for two hours and almost eight miles. I took a break for an hour, ate some lunch, rested up. Then I was off once again, doing an hour long boot camp workout and another hour long walk/run. I might be crazy, but then again, I might be just really really tired of the struggle and ready to change it. So I ate about 1,400 calories and worked out for four hours. I'm going for it again tomorrow. I want to see what happens at the end of the week. It's my little Biggest Loser experiment. If they can work out seven hours a day, I can do four.

2. More about baseball...don't lynch me! So during the game Punto, a Cardinal, made an error. It was rather ugly and as a result, the bases were loaded. I know I'm rooting for the Rangers, and I'm happy that they won tonight. BUT...I just really hate seeing the faces of the players when they know they've committed an error during a critical moment of the game. His error probably led to the Rangers scoring two more and winning the game. The look on his face said it all. "I just lost the game." Ugh. Poor guy. I may be a Rangers fan, but I'm not heartless!

3. My sister-in-law, Leah, has the nicest sister. Her sister Angie brought me a watch tonight. I planned on paying her, but I didn't have cash on hand when she came. Actually, I forgot all about the watch. What a nice surprise! It's only a ten dollar watch, but it was so thoughtful of her. And she wouldn't let me pay her! That stinker. I'm going to have to come up with a little something to say thank you. I love surprises like that. And I think Angie might have to become my new best friend. I told her so tonight because I miss Leah soooooooooo very much!
