i've been feeling pretty wiped lately. just haven't had the chance to get on top of things and to feel at rest. so i'm glad that brendan was working this evening because it gave me the chance to do some stuff around the house and have some alone time.
one of the reasons i'm glad we're staying put for a while, is because that when i think something is temporary i'm more inclined to put up with stuff or not deal with things. even when there is no end in sight, i convince myself taking care of my surroundings are less important.
i made fried rice for dinner tonight. i had no idea what to make for supper, but had decided not to make what i'd originally planned. i was so pleased with myself when i had the idea to make fried rice and even extra pleased when i had ALL the ingredients already. including 3 cups of rice. it was good to use up food that may have otherwise gone to waste. i feel like i'm only just starting to get better at not wasting food. we saw a commercial in the UK about how the average person throws out a third of their groceries. i was shocked by that, but also convicted that i frequently let things go bad, then throw it out.
lately i've been feeling more comfortable in my body. i think that's because i'm eating better and exercising at lunch on work days. i feel like i'm getting stronger and notice a difference when i lift my bike. for some reason, i decided to weigh myself, just to check up on that. the dumb thing is that i KNOW i've gained muscle, but i decided to weigh myself anyway. as predicted, i was 175. i have consistently weighed 175 since eamon was born. sometimes i've lost weight, down to 165 at the lowest, but i always bounces back to 175. that said, this morning i didn't let that bother me. i know i'm a different shape since 2 years ago, and i know my arms and legs at least are stronger. so i'm just going to accept that the weigh-scale is a poor judge of these things
over and out. i'm falling asleep as i type.
