had an Acapulco Chicken Salad from Taco Mayo today, which was almost awesome. i say almost.
they are gettin' cheap on us, and using smaller bowls. so, almost awesome. haven't had one since i was still in weatherford. i've missed them. heck, i actually lost weight eating those things. speaking of which, i'm gonna get my old diet journal updated and back online again. as soon as i get it re-activated, i'll link to it. the goal of getting down to 220 by mid-summer, and 200 by Christmas is achievable again. i was almost halfway to the summer goal until two months ago. since then...things haven't gone well in the food arena. i've eaten things (and amounts) that i should be ashamed of. but, that's changing, starting tomorrow. back on the horse.
although, i have to be a bit happy....i bought some jeans in a size that i couldn't have worn a year ago. and i'm wearing them comfortably, even with a little room. so, that's progress. if i could just stop sabotaging myself, i'd be great.
beyond that...looking forward to this week. on vacation from one job (the horrible, horrible grocery job i've been working for....ten years?) and beginning the first leg of a couple of years of training in what used to be my part-time job, now full-time as of tomorrow. (when i get back from this 'vacation', i'm going part-time at the other job, just until i'm making enough to tell them to die and can quit forever.) i'm not going to say exactly WHO i'm working for, just yet, because i know of at least one person who still reads this who would probably be sick to their stomach when they see what corporation i've joined. i will just preface this by saying: they're not as bad as you/we/everyone think/thought/thinks.
friday and saturday, Richard and I are going to be in Dallas, checking out a couple of Rangers games. it's always nice to get to take someone to the park for the first time in their life. gonna be a blast. won't exactly help with the diet, but i'll just have to be extra good beforehand (plus, if you consider that we'll probably do several miles of walking while down there, i'll work off what i wind up putting on by the time i get back).
otherwise...i dunno. i'm calm right now. mostly at peace. not exactly happy, but as happy as i think i can be right now. hoping to figure some things out. doing a LOT of writing right now. realizing there are things from about 11 years ago that i need to get out in the open and size them up to see how that point A made this point B.
and mostly, a lot of the writing is dealing with the fact that i left home about seven years ago to figure out who i was, and once i finally did, i realized that i'm the same person i always was. i just had to stop running from it, and let myself be happy. and while i was able to do that, for those couple of years....i really, honestly did have some peace.
but more about that some other time. spring cleaning, some tv, and probably a bit more boredom await.
