Such Crazy Gimmicks

I hate it when I put off writing until right when I start to get tired (which is precisely what I did tonight). It's 11pm and I'm just now doing what I should have started 2 hours ago. Oh well, at least I'm writing at all.

So, I said I'd write about what I missed from yesterday. I must be getting old or something, because now as I'm sitting here, I can hardly remember anything noteworthy from yesterday! Maybe I just need to try a little harder...

As I was coming into the gym yesterday on of the regulars (on her way out) said to me "watch yourself, there are a lot of men here today". I have no idea why she felt the need to tell me that. There weren't any more men there than there usually is on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday (the Y has "noonball" on those days. Organized basketball games that always make me wonder why all these men aren't at work). Later into my workout a guy did try to talk to me, but I just put my "bitch face" on and pretend I can't hear anyone because of my music (I totally can hear everything). I wear a 2.5 carat wedding set, every day, never take it off. I think it's obvious that I'm married. I'm not at the gym looking for a date.

Rhonda took my "after" picture for my Y Story yesterday morning. It wasn't one of my better pictures, that's for sure. It's not awful, but I can't say I'm happy with it. I didn't feel like it was okay to ask her to take it again, though and it did still illustrate the change in my appearance, so I guess it will suffice. I need to stop being so critical of myself (particularly in pictures). When I'm 80 years old, I'm sure I'll look back on the few pictures there will be of me at this age and think I looked great :)

Have you heard about the latest diet fad? The HCG diet? For reasons that make no sense to me at all, one of the woman in childwatch felt the need to tell me about her success with it. She's lost 25 pounds in three weeks giving herself synthetic pregnancy hormone and eating 500 calories a day. She seemed to be trying to talk me into trying it. I don't need to lose 25 pounds. If I did, I'd be underweight! If you ask me, the HCG diet is just insane and I told her so. I'm done with diets, especially one's that go against nature and everything I've learned about healthy living and moderation. I bet money she's going to gain weight as soon as she goes back to her old ways. I don't wish that on her, but sadly that's what happens when people reach their target weight with such crazy gimmicks.

The rest of yesterday was uneventful (mainly because I can't recall anything worth writing about). Let's move onto today...

I had a lady at Starbucks totally violate my space! I was waiting for my drink and she came up behind me and started touching my purse! She was rubbing it and even asked me to take it off so she could see inside. I'm not a shy person, I have nothing personal in there, so I let her look. It was just weird. Who touches another woman's purse and asks to see inside of it?

While I was at the gym (sitting in the sauna, actually). I read a review for a book I think I'd like to read, so once I got the strange lady's hands out of my purse, I went to Barnes & Noble to find it. It's called This Life is in Your Hands by Melissa Coleman. Unfortunately, it doesn't release for another 5 days. I can't help but wonder why last week's issue of People had a review for it if it doesn't come out until April 12th. Didn't it occur to them that people might want to buy it after reading a review for it? My mommy-brain is liable to forget all about it by then! Hopefully not, it sounds like a good read. I did get books for everyone else in the family. The kids love reading, but Snookums not so much. I don't want to change him, but I make no qualms about trying to influence his behaviors.

Wow. Even less happened today than yesterday... I went to the gym (uneventfully), took Keenan to therapy, got purse-molested at Starbucks, bought some books at B&N, picked Keenan up, came home, put Keenan down for a nap, cleaned the kitchen, made dinner, sat around for a few hours... DONE! My day in a nutshell :) I need to go to bed.
