Today Phil and I are starting on Nutrisystem. We decided to go with that for the pure convience of food being delivered to us, and since I have school 3 nights a week, I can't really take a long time to cook. We do add in salads, fruits, vegetables, and dairy each day. And today we are going to join the gym. I'm all motivated to hopefully lose all of the weight I've gained since I stopped working retail. That's 60lbs! Pretty much all in my thighs too. We had breakfast around 10, and it was so much food, I'm not even remotely hungry now. We had scrambled eggs (nutrisystem meal) orange juice, and yogurt. Phil is supposed to also have a serving of carbs, but I haven't gone shopping yet, so he's just going to have two servings at lunch.
Last night I bought a pair of sneakers with support to use at the gym. Inside the sneaker it said it was made with "Cantilever technology." I don't know what they think cantilever means, but it's an architectural term. I looked it up on dictionary.com to see if maybe there was another definition and got:
1. any rigid structural member projecting from a vertical support, esp. one in which the projection is great in relation to the depth, so that the upper part is in tension and the lower part in compression.
2. Building Trades, Civil Engineering. any rigid construction extending horizontally well beyond its vertical support, used as a structural element of a bridge (cantilever bridge), building foundation, etc.
3. Aeronautics. a form of wing construction in which no external bracing is used.
4. Architecture. a bracket for supporting a balcony, cornice, etc.
-verb (used without object) 5. to project in the manner of a cantilever.
-verb (used with object) 6. to construct in the manner of a cantilever.
Now, I don't know about you, but I see nothing in that definition that would benefit a sneaker...
