Diet, Exercise, etc.

[hsapiens]

I'm going to start using my LJ in a new-to-me way: as an exercise & diet diary. I plan on recording my thoughts, struggles, victories, defeats, books I've read, etc. about food & eating, exercising, and my battle to get fit. And then STAY fit.

This has nothing to do with the usual content of my LJ and I suspect it will contain little interesting content so my current plan is to take it all private. However, others on my f-list may be cutting a similar path and find that having a place to talk about it might be useful.

If you suspect you might want to read, think about, or discuss these sorts of issues, please comment here. If there's interest, rather than making my entries private I'll f-lock them and make a special filter for those who want to wade through it all.

This is going to be mostly navel-gazing, so consider yourself fairly warned.

I'm in. Hopefully it will inspire me to add more exercise to my efforts.

(Don't notice the chocolate cake sitting next to me. No, that's not there...)

Screw the cake -- want the mole!!!

Um, I got tired after filling three pans of enchiladas, so there's still some of the filling in my freezer...

Mole is how I get my chocolate these days! I may have to learn to make it because I love it so much.

I've added you to the filter! :)

Chocolate cake is eeeevil. OK, it isn't, but my reaction to chocolate cake is evil counterproductive. It is my all-time biggest love and moderation is nigh on impossible for me.

I've created the filter and added you. :) Exercise is the modern day tonic, good for heart problems, blood sugar issues, cholesterol levels, mood disorders, and so on but without side effects like liver damage, inadvertent sleeping/driving in the middle of the night, or increasing risks of breast cancer.

Now, if only I could figure out to make it something I *want* to do! ;-)

But I don't like tonic! OR gin!!

;)

Neither do I -- which makes that metaphor particularly appropriate for me since I have yet to like exercise, either. ;)
