recycle

brendan and i have been really into mad men season 2 this week. unfortunately, 2 nights ago brendan accidentally put disc 4 into the dvd player instead of disc 3 so we unwittingly watched the finale before finishing all the episodes. it's ok, it's ok. we're still watching the missed episodes, they make the others make more sense. without giving too much away, i really am enjoying the introduction of the character anna. i love how she knows everything about don. he is known to her - fully. it's kind of sad because betty knows nothing, she's completely in the dark. he is withdrawn from her, there's a barrier and a tension there because she doesn't understand or know him. but how could she? he hasn't let her in. i dunno. i've spent time in my life withholding, and i've spent time just letting it all out. i like being transparent. that being said, i am selective on who i'm transparent with. i kind of feel that the areas of my life that i'm most transparent (social life vs work life) are my most favourite, i'm the most invested in those.

i met up with meg last night for a cup of tea at sipps. i don't really have a lot to say about that other than the fact that i really enjoyed myself. i feel that meg is a safe person, i feel really free to be myself with her. which is pretty amazing considering we've only been family for a short period of time. when i got home brendan asked me "what did you talk about?".... "boys" i coyly told him... "figures" he said.

since i began my new workout regiment, i've gained approximately 3 pounds. i'm not so much discouraged as much as i'm super annoyed. people keep telling me that i'll soon or eventually begin to burn fat. i have to admit, it feels as though my body is confused or speaks a different language. i don't suppose it matters. i bought the membership so i'm going to use it anyways. it just would be nice to fit comfortably in my pants. that being said, i AM developing some serious muscle.
 
things have been really busy round here lately. if you're finding that i haven't been emaily or posty lately, that's why.
 
i don't really know what i was so mad about,
but the full moon is about a week away.

I feel the same about joining the gym and gaining weight. I just keep telling myself that muscle weighs more then fat. it is ok. but i still dont feel that way.

the extra 3 pounds is muscle. things will shift on the scale soon. odd fact - when i stop working out for a while, i usually lose 3 or 4 pounds (of muscle).
