I have real issues with the word "diet". It implies something temporary. Something that will change eventually. Something out of the ordinary.
To me, it's the splurge or binge that's the out of the ordinary thing. It's the days of rest and prolonged sedentary activity that is a break from the norm. Being healthy and staying healthy is a long, sustained effort. It does require some sacrifices, but the payoff is worth it. It's a question of whether you are in control of your life and your actions, or whether there just isn't any thought to your actions.
Just a thought that perhaps I used to write at length about, but now it feels like an afterthought. But for that same reason, it's important to annotate now and then.
I suggested to the girl that she consider cutting back on her gluten intake. She has a rather sensitive tummy, and I thought about Victoria's gluten allergy. People can live with food allergies for years of various degrees without realizing it. Who knows. But the nice side effect is it'll heavily cut carbs, as it means pretty much cutting out wheat out of one's diet. I'd also like to watch my gluten intake, if only because it means an easy delimiter for processed food.
I lost three pounds over the weekend. It's like I say, I always lose weight when I go on vacation. I know, I suck. Still, I need to stop being paranoid of losing muscle mass if I don't eat enough when I simply DON'T HAVE MUCH TO LOSE. Too much broscience has gone to my head. As an american, my diet is chock full of protein. I just need to stay active and eat healthy, and my body composition will take care of itself.
The girl's friends Kristin and her boyfriend Shawn have made new toons on everquest2. Nothing gets me back into that game like NEW CHARACTERS. OH YES. The addiction continues, if you'll excuse me.
