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.

a new try permalink

So, after deciding that my life is dominated by passive media, I turned off the powerbook, and I went through the TiVo and killed all of "my" shows. I then turned off the TV, and did some knitting. Nice.

This morning was similar. I never let myself sit on the couch (other than eating my oatmeal). I'm going to carve out some space on the kitchen table and eat there soon! No TV, no powerbook. I was still late, but that was more about not having done some prep last night, and getting up late. Even so, I managed to start the dishwasher and do a load of laundry. Yee ha!

I walked part of the way in today, which was very nice. The sun was out early, very pleasant. I'm looking forward to checking the scale, hopefully after my hill-climb walk at lunch, and seeing if I gained (likely) or lost (I wish!).
