Not Much

Friday is finally here. Despite the fact that I'm not working, I still look forward to the weekends with almost the same glee I did while working. Old habits are hard to break, I guess. Today is a HC BBQ picnic. I didn't know it was happening until D forwarded me the reminder yesterday (though he claims he told me several times). While pets are welcome, there is no off leash area of the park, so I won't be taking the dogs. I would consider taking just one if we only had one, but I certainly cannot take one and not the other. Besides, I'm not sure which one would be easier to handle in that type of situation. You would think Turtle would, however, when she meets new people, she gets so excited and tends to start jumping.

I just looked out the window and realized there are no clouds, which means it'll probably get pretty hot today, which means I should get up and take the dogs for a walk now since waiting too long results in two very hot puppies. But I don't want to go! I feel like Vic and her not wanting to run. I have lost my motivation for walking. I am still doing it and not even questioning whether it is an option to do, but whereas it had gotten easy for me to take them last month, this month it's not something I want to do. Yesterday was really the first day that I could have easily taken them on two walks, but I stayed home during the time period for walk #2 and did crossword puzzles and watched Sleepless in Seattle. All of this lack of motivation is probably because I'm sick of the 1400 kcal thing. This always happens. It's not that I want to binge. It's just that I get sick of eating the same things. Normal people could just think of other things to eat. Not me. I can only think of extremely high calorie things to eat. This is why I think it's a load of crap when celebrities say they had to work to lose weight. I have no doubt they had to workout just as much as the rest of us and that they enjoy it about as much, but I most certainly do not buy that it's difficult to maintain good eating habits when you can hire a private chef to cook you delicious and well-balanced meals. I do enjoy cooking, but I think if we had a ton of money, having a private or personal chef would be lovely. Not to have to think about it. Come to think of it, I'd settle for someone who just came up with the meals and then I did the cooking.

Now see what I'm doing here? I'm just blathering on about things in an effort not to have to get out of my chair and go for a walk. It's like if I keep typing, I'm justified. OK, I'm dressed and I am updating my iPod: two steps in the right direction. Wish me luck.
