Interesting night.

After getting news of the fire at Steve and Noelle's (they're okay, the fire was confined to their neighbor's garage, go see demeterschild for details), I spent about 2 hours catching up with them to make sure that they were okay, and in general catching up on things.

Victory: Blue Jackets shut out the Red Wings. Yum.

More important victory: I impulse-bought some 3/$.99 packs of cookies at the gas station last night when I needed to clean up my car and refill the car for today's trip to Columbus.

Those cookies are still uneaten. In fact, I didn't have any sugar after lunchtime. I ate a decent dinner at the college's Thanksgiving special, and exercised as I was supposed to, and I didn't /need/ the sugar.

That feels good. I know I could potentially be bad tonight (c'mon, I'm going to see a movie with a bunch of friends!), but I'm breaking my dependency on wanting sugar during the day.

Am I going to lose all the weight I probably need to lose just by eating better and walking? I'd love to, but honestly probably not. But I will lose enough. And the more I lose, the easier other things will be, and if I decide to take more intense dieting steps, that will get easier, too.

The pain in my leg is getting better. I will bring those muscles back into shape, and even if it will always be a bit weaker than the other leg, I will make it stronger than it is.

I will win.

Way to go!

I'm thrilled by your outlook. Really a day-brightener (not that my day's been bad) to see someone being that reasonable about something :)

*grins* Well, in the choice between 'make a real effort or probably die', it's not very hard. And I'm already seeing positive results, so I'm very pleased.

If you are not allergic to shell fish Glacosamine does wonders. I should probably get some for myself.

*nods* I will write that down for after I get paid.
