(DAY 2.12)

Tonight, I'm going ON A BOAT.

For the Evan's School Spring "Ball" ... I haven't been to one yet, and I thought maybe I should participate once before I graduate.

(DAY 2.11)

So when I was little, I used to forget to chew my food.  And then I'd forget to swallow it.  I would put it in my mouth and chew it a little bit, but then I would just stop and kind of suck on it and daydream until one of my parents interjected with, "Riley - CHEW!"  Or, for some reason with the case of french fries, I would continue to put them in my mouth and kind of half chew them, but not really realize it until I had my face stuffed with somewhere between 8-12 fries, suddenly realizing that I couldn't really get anything else in my face.

So the french fry thing doesn't really help me much.

But the sitting and sucking on your food is a really great technique if you've only got paltry amounts to work with, which is the case for the higher density meats that I get, i.e. beef and veal. Also, beef is like my favorite flavor ever, so sucking all that flavor out of the protein before I send it down seems like a pretty great thing to do.

You get that arm!!!  Jonghyun's such a stupid dinosaur.

(DAY 2.10)

Actually today has been fine, that's just been stuck in my head. I'm missing a lot of my DVDs that I need to collect from people before I leave, and that may be one of them.

Totally forgot to take my drops last night (HATE THAT), so have been spacing them out more evenly today hoping to forestall some kind of... deficiency or something.

Also have discovered a fabulous new way to eat white fish - I reheat it (I pre-cook 90% of my meat) in a bowl, then dump apple cider vinegar on it (like, 1/4-1/3 of a cup?), then mash it up so it looks a little like cat food, then heat it a bit more 'cause the vinegar was cold, then I eat it wish a spoon so that I get ALL THE VINEGAR. White fish has never been more to me than a vehicle for vinegar (and ketchup, once upon a time when I was very young yet and hadn't been introduced to malt vinegar) - and this is a delicious new way to make sure I get every last bit of that fish absolutely saturated.

(DAY 2.9)

So this morning was kind of a wtf moment - because the scale decided to jump UP 3 pounds?!?

Dislike.

I felt kind of oddly bloated last night so I'm not super surprised, but I am confused.  I think maybe I've been over-doing it on vitamins / vitamins-in-water or something.  So I'm hoping its mostly water weight or something and it will go away by tomorrow.

It also may be my body saying "hey you're not getting enough calories" and trying to store up fat, so I will endeavor to eat my vegetables today, which I've been neglecting for the past few days.

So, like, for once in my life I would like to have calves small enough to allow me to wear moon boots. I know that they're ridiculous, but I want / love them anyways:

--

Nehbermind. I think I figured it out - I'd skewed my internal clock so much over the last three days that my body still assumed it was the middle of the night when I weighed myself this morning. Now that it's wake-up time and I've appropriately emptied my bowels, I feel much lighter :P
--
Yep.  Just weighed myself at 8:30pm and had dropped the 3 pounds. I manage to fuck myself up time-wise SO BAD on 3-day weekends.

(DAY 2.8)

So, in avoidance of writing my Capstone project, the dishes have finally been washed and the laundry has finally been folded.

Also, Aloe Vera FTW! My legs don't feel like desserts for the first time in weeks!  Also because I'm definitely starting to see quite a bit of loose skin, and I'd like to help that tighten up as much as I can. I'm hoping it will bounce back within 6 months or so, because it's not such an egregious amount of weight that there will be that much loose skin, and because I'm still under 30 I'm hoping my "youth" will help snap things back into place.

This weekend has mostly consisted of me wearing my ridiculous new heels and dancing around my apartment in new underwear. I'm not gonna lie, it's been relatively glorious.
