My Apologies

[wild_place_king]

I've been insanely busy this past week so I did not have the energy or brain cells to log onto LJ. Please let me know if I need to review something important. All of you are important to me and I don't want to miss anything. I dread, however, going back over the mountain of LJ posts

Comments

I've found that the useful technique, when you're behind, is to go through your friends list and read the critical people *in their journal, as opposed to on your friends list*, so you get all the stuff at once and in order, and then, you get to who you get to and you skip who you skip, and life goes on. :-)

Thanks, I will do that.

I'm glad that you posted. Last night I was thinking hard about sending you a gentle verbal prod to ask about your workouts during the last week or so. Not to induce yucky guilt, mind you, but to let you know that several of us are rooting for that muscular, healthy self you are building. : )

Honestly, I log on every day wondering how you are doing in terms of your workouts and hoping that your life is allowing you to squeeze in a little activity in on a regular basis. I picked up a spiffy new pedometer for you to try out at FG---you'll like it; it's cool.

hugs,

Ban Yucky Guilt!

Yeah, I was feeling kind of guilty. But, honestly, I figured everybody didn't want to know all about me. I am not feeling humble, just that we all have lives (well, most of us do anyway) and who wants to know the trivial details of some old guy in Minnesota

Spanking you

I would be happy to oblige, as long as Beth says it's OK.

About getting eating under control - it's hard when the people around you are eating whatever they like. Living with FD is a challenge for me. He eats ice cream and cookies for desert every night. He also puts huge amounts of butter and oil in everything he cooks and enjoys things that are breaded and deep fried. I was losing the battle to maintain my healthy weight until I decided that I absolutely had to stop following his culinary lead.

As a result we are cooking for 1 x 2 instead of cooking for 2. It's more effort, but it's necessary if I don't want to blow up like a balloon. And I don't.

I imagine it's hard for you to be around Ravenstar feasts while you're trying to lose weight.

Please, ask Spouse!

What's wrong with FDs eating habits?

I've always said that Blue Star eats well, Raven Star in particular, bu, I am biased.

I've been picking up recipies and trying to prepare some of our dinners. In a few cases, I prefer my preparations to Spouse's.

One salad requires a special tool, a julianne slicer. Until I figured out how to use it, I cut my hand badly, twice. Now I am a pro.
