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.

Getting back on the good foot permalink

So, I have now had my weekend of extended food debauchery: I've had pizza, I've had beer, I've had BBQ brisket, steakfrites with bechamel sauce, fried chicken and mashed potatoes, banh mi and huaraches.

Needless to say, I feel like crap. Really, really, feel like crap. And I'm ready to start ETL all over again.

Sort of. I have this problem now: I have a fridge full of leftovers of these meals, and they taunt me. They taunt me! I can't bear throwing out perfectly good food, and so there they sit, everytime I open the fridge to get lettuce to make a salad. Clearly, I can't bring this stuff home: I need to figure out how to shut up the voice in my head that is all, "VJ, you paid good money for this, and you only ate a third or half of it. Aren't you going to take it home?"

And it's that sort of issue that makes me wonder if I do need to make a break with meat and dairy fulltime. And french bread from the bakery.

For the past couple weeks, I've been completely obsessed with gardening, as in, I want to plant a vegetable garden. I've also been obsessed with the easiest way to build a raised bed garden. I mean, how cool would it be to just go out to the backyard to get the salad greens rather than going to the overpriced health food store down the street.

It just seems like there isn't enough time. I just want more time. I want to be able to do PFit, and garden. Do I ask too much?
