You make me feel so la la la la la...
I've reached my first weight goal. :)
To celebrate, I opened my weight goal reward (Season 1 of Star Trek: Voyager).
Dorky?
Yes.
But it was worth it.
It's been strange. In the mornings and through mid afternoon I can keep myself on track and sensible. I have a container of yogurt and a granola bar for breakfast. A mid morning snack if I get hungry (usually a string cheese or a pack of crackers). Lunch I make myself something small or I have one of those healthy choice dinners. (quite delicious :)) I might have another afternoon snack and then have a reasonable dinner. But after dinner I can't help myself but graze on anything that gets in my hands. I've been trying to be good and watch what I take in. But I think it's the comfort of chewing or just feeling it in my mouth rather than the need to actually eat. Maybe gum or something else will help. I've been trying cups of hot tea, with some success... but not much.
I enjoyed my season of Voyager... there were a lot of episodes I either didn't remember or hadn't seen before, so that was kind of awesome. It was great to put some of the pieces together. And some of the special features where the actors were discussing their roles or production were facinating to the theatre-enthusiast in me. The way they could piece together their characters and discover them right along with the audience is facinating to me. A lot of people don't ever think about it... but the more I watch of Star Trek, the more I see the talent in the different casts. Adding depth, humanity and meaning in a bunch of scientific mumbo-jumbo that they don't even understand half the time. I've always enjoyed Star Trek just for the story lines and action... but I feel as I'm re-discovering the franchise as I'm getting older, I can see more of the hopeful vision that it was inteneded to be, beyond just the entertainment value and into the idea of humanity.
... I know I keep going back to this point, but I miss being on stage. Theatre Camp this summer sort of helped, but it's one thing to direct and teach... it's another to participate.
Did that make any sense? I don't know if I can quite explain what I'm thinking... I hope someone can make sense of it, haha.
Anyway... Now, I'm sad that I've watched my reward... and I have to wait another 15 lbs before I can watch season 2. I'm just glad there wasn't a cliffhanger at the end of this one!
