about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

cabin fever permalink

Thank you all for your kind comments. You know the worst part? Well, there are so many worst parts, but one of them was that the treadmill had a 60 minute limit. So, I ended up breaking the workout into 3 mile segments, which meant after every three miles, I had to start again. It was just one opportunity to quit after another.

The streets are finally getting passable, now that it's almost evening. I have just a wee bit of cabin fever. Nothing like a little ice storm. I have so wanted to go outside for a walk, to the store, to get a bite to eat. But no tree limbs have fallen, and we haven't lost electricity—just haven't been able to leave the house.

I haven't been able to accomplish anything today. I think I spent three hours half-heartedly looking up online patterns for shrugs (which are arm warmers with a connector across the back), and running through TiVoed stuff. Oh, and medicinally eating chocolate (Chocolove 65% Rich Dark Chocolate, and Peet's Major Dickason's).

Did you know that medicinal chocolate has half the colories of regular chocolate? ;)

Hi Vicki,

I just wanted to write and say that I am very inspired by your journal. I found it a couple of days ago and have read through all the archives. Thanks for writing! You are now at the top of the blogs list so I will be checking back obsessively. :)
