beckie is a freakin' genius....
for many reasons really, but she's given me several tips about food and fitness, and it makes me think she's very clever. for example, she told me that when people eat, they let out a subconscious sigh that indicates when they're full. she told me to listen for the sigh and that way i won't over eat (i've been thinking that my portions are too big). the next day as i ate, i totally noticed the sigh! and then the next time, and the next time! it's really quite reliable :D she also advised me to only have snacks when my belly starts to grumble instead of when i think i feel hungry - i've become quite the snacker at work, so that was a helpful tip too. and lastly, she suggested at the Y on the treadmill i walk one minute, then jog one minute, and again i tried it and met with great success :D i've been feeling quite well over the last few days, not quite fit, but better, less bulky.
this last week of work before christmas is my favourite. hardly anyone comes to work and it's usually just me and about 4 other people. it's so great. the introvert in me is very gleeful by the lack of people. i get a lot done, i'm not stressed out at all, the atmosphere is relaxed and people seem more happy. a lot of my colleagues think i'm crazy for working up until christmas, i tell them i don't have any vacation days left, but truthfully... after 7 christmases like this... i really don't think i'd want to take these days off, it's a really easy week of work. plus, i wear jeans the whole time :) i like it, because i get all my files archived and ready for the new year. i kind of wind down the work year, so by the time i'm finished the week i'm in the holiday-headspace. it's wonderful.
usually, i get christmas eve off. on that first day of vacation i wrap gifts, bake cookies, pack my overnight bag, watch gone with the wind. but this year, xmas eve is a work day, so i'm going to have to do all that stuff tonight. i have a feeling it's going to be a late night. i'm looking forward to it though. it's exciting to see all my gifts laid out on the floor.
still no luck finding the diva cup. i'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy another one :S
our december sun is setting because i'm not who i used to be.

I picture a small dog finding it and chewing it for a while until he decides to bury it in a garden.
I think I left mine in Watertown...not that it helps YOU at all.
you are an enormous nerd :) who is gleeful about archiving files?! :D hahahahahaha thanks for making me laugh all alone in my parents' house.
Okay...I totally listening for the sigh now!
Oh no - you lost your cup!? That sucks. My first one got left in a provincial camp ground. Lucky cleaning person who got to find it sitting on top of the paper towel dispenser.
i like order too, and though i don't archive files, i do like to have them sorted... which is kinda the same. a good idea for the end of the year.
and, i am totally going to listen for the sigh, too. thanks for the tip!
