Diet, Fitness, Clothes, Hell's Kitchen
I hope you all had a great holiday weekend!
My left eye is itchy, dry and red. I suspect allergies but boy is it bugging me. It’s better than it was half an hour or so ago, so maybe whatever got in it is clearing out now.
My workout schedule this week has gotten all turned around. I think that is a good thing. Shaking things up every once in a while can actually help. I have been trying the elliptical a time or two every week and last night it finally felt right rather than weird and off. I was able to get my heart rate exactly where I wanted it and keep it there the whole time I was on it, so yay!
Our lunchroom has 5 full boxes of donuts and kolaches in it. You can smell the sugar when you walk by. :(
Clothing Buying Woes:
I have developed a clothes buying phobia. I cannot bring myself to actually go shopping and try on clothes in a store. I can get myself to order some things online, but only after a lot of working at psyching myself up to do it. I’m afraid that if I order clothes in a smaller size, they’ll be too small and I’ll get frustrated and give up. And this is after I’ve ordered clothes in a smaller size and they were loose on me when I got them. Part of the problem is that my measurements, when translated to sizes using various company’s size guides, don’t actually reflect what fits me. The size guides tell me I should be wearing clothes at least a size larger than what I’m actually wearing, but what I’m actually wearing is almost too big for me. It’s confusing and upsetting. To make matters worse, the size guides also tell me that my top is 2 sizes smaller than my bottom. And yeah, I’m a bit pear-shaped, but not quite to that extent, IMO. And I haven’t been buying smaller tops because I don’t care if my tops are too big. Honestly, I sometimes get so angry with American clothing retailers and their weird sizing! I am at a point where I don’t have any clue what “size” I am.
Hell’s Kitchen
Why in the name of all that is good and decent is Matt still around?! Louross gone before Matt? That’s insane! And actually it appears that Matt is going insane next episode, so I suppose they’ve kept him around for the drama. *sigh*
I want Jen gone, as well, but I can sort of understand why they’re keeping her around. Some of her cooking has been okay, and they are setting up a big showdown with her. Fine, but I hope it happens soon. If there is any justice in this world, Matt will go next week, then Jen. I could handle a final four of Pettrozza, Bobby, Corey and Christina.
Also, Ramsay and Jean Phillipe playing in the surf -- oh, heck yes! Gimme more, show!
