Well, it was shocking to go to my olde blogge and find that my last entry was a MONTH ago! I blame twitter. Seriously. Lately there have been things/ideas I could possibly feel like blogging about, but if it would take more than 140 characters to express it, then FORGET IT.
For sure I can say that I am one of those I predicted who would not complete the 100 day raw food challenge. We got derailed in August and never quite got back on track. I know for sure I got derailed, I don't know if I caused B to stumble as well, I can't speak for him. But as I sit here and think about it, I feel okay about it. I'm still eating more healthily and taking better care of myself than I have for most of my life. One of my downfalls is really enjoying eating for entertainment. And I know I said I didn't want to do that anymore, that I want food to be fuel, but I don't know about that. I mean, I don't know if I want to give up eating for entertainment. Sharing the experience of the art of food is something that B and I enjoy doing together. It makes life feel kind of drab if we cut ourselves off from that. I think realistically I need to acknowledge this and structure/discipline myself accordingly.
My back started hurting before I started this job, and it hasn't quit. My health insurance coverage starts 11/1, so I just have to keep living on ibuprofen for a couple more weeks until I can get this checked out. It's definitely made it hard to want to be here at this job, sitting for 8+ hrs/day. And not really concentrating on it. It was a temp job until last week, when I was hired permanently. While I was a temp, I can honestly say I was only making a "temp" level effort. But now that I'm permanent, I really need to give it some more, and being in constant pain (sometimes low-level, sometimes more) doesn't make that easy. And I'm starting to feel guilty about it.
OK, I can't make any promises, but now that I have access to update this blog here at work, I'm hoping to write more frequently. The end.
