Return of Charlie

It's 1227, Monday. 206am. The sky is pinkish, but there is
no snow falling. Or at least, none that I can see. I
guess, pink skies are not always indicative of snow. It's
13 degrees Fahrenheit, and "feels" like 0 degrees
Fahrenheit. -11 degrees Celsius. There's maybe an inch to
two inches of snow on the ground. The roads are not plowed.

It's ... been a long while since I've had the chance to
update my journal properly. I would have done it
yesterday, but I didn't get the chance really. I woke up a
bit late, and I talked to a few people on the phone. The
Thespian and Echo. It was quite an enjoyable conversation,
actually. Later, Lori called and she said she wanted to
come by after I told her that Lisa got the "Return of the
King" DVD. So we watched that for a bit, and just pretty
much caught up on the past few days. Her cousin didn't
show up.

Right now, I feel like utter crap. I think I have a reason
for that. I've been looking at my nutritional logs for the
past few days, up until Wednesday. I've managed to gain
about 3.6 pounds or 1.6 kilograms in a four day period.
That's pretty unhealthy as it gets. I mean, I didn't need
to look at the logs to figure that out. I mean, I've known
that I've been eating pretty unheathily the past few days.
The reason I've had junk food is because there hasn't been
much time available for me to make my own meals. So, I've
resorted to eating fast foods. It's just more convenient.
But, I mean ... I think in the future I will sacrifice
convenience for better nutrition. Because, if it makes me
feel like this ... I'd rather have the added inconvenience
than feel so sluggish. It's not even so much that it's
junk food. It's just that when it's junk food, I have a
tendency to pig out. I always feel so utterly sick
afterwards though. For instance, we had pizza. I had like,
two slices and I was stuffed. But, after a few hours I
decided to have another two slices. The thing is, the
amount of calories and fats in that slice of pizza was
enough to cover two meals for me. I pretty much had four
meals in the period of a meal. My body disliked me much
for that.

I think, it's not so much that I feel bad because I've
been not eating healthy ... it's more like I feel bad
because I can actually "feel" the junk food circulating my
system. It's made me feel duller and not as quick witted.
Not as reflexive. Although it's just a 1.6 kilogram
increase in mass, ... I already feel like much heavier.
Luckily, I'm only 1.6 kilograms from my target weight, so
it's not as if I made the past 3 months a waste.

So I'm happy about that. But then again it's not as if I
could really destroy 3 months of work in four days. Lori
still made a flirty little comment about me, and I just
smiled at her. In fact, ... alot of people have, which is
really nice. Lisa's mother and the Rock both said I was
looking rather nicely. Actually, I have a story about
that ... which I will get to in a bit.

I have to shovel snow later in the morning, so I'm not
sure how much time I'll have to write before I start
feeling awfully tired. But ... I'll write as much as I
can.

I'll check the NextPosT's for the things I wanted to write
about next. But, first I thought I would archive the
annual Christmas trip. So, ... that's what I'll do, in my
next entry.
