How is your Health? The State of Being Thread

I have, for the second time in my life, hit my highest weight evar of 160. I don't mind the weight itself (it's still within guidelines), I just mind the belly fat and lack of athleticity. I know a lot of folks are going to say I gots no reason to complain, but I'm at that point in my life where I could be looking back 20 years from now and say, "...and that's when I just gave in and rolled downhill to where I am today." And I don't want to do that. So...I'm teetering, but haven't fallen yet, but am also not sure I'll get mad enough at myself to work at building sufficient long-term healthy habits.

I thought the shock was from you disliking something fade....

Also damn you americans, We only had the Famous bowl and Double down for a few weeks each down under. A few weeks of bliss!
(double bliss for those rare few days when both promotions ran at the same time. 1 of each for lunch. My god was that awesome)

The famous bowls are just A KFC version of shepherd's pie (albeit a ridiculously fat-saturated version.)

Had to use the 8 year old inhaler again. It works, which is nice, but it leaves me feeling very jittery and almost anxious.
 
Good: I don't need the nitro pills very often, so they just turn to dust in the bottle in my pocket.

Bad: when I do need one, they've all turned to dust in the bottle in my pocket.

Fortunately, the good has far outpaced the bad.

Ate a bunch of junk over the weekend. But am actually seeing some improvement in the gym!

Also, haven't smoked cigarettes or marijuana for a couple months. Drinking just needs to take a step down.

I live about 4-5 blocks away from my grocery store, so I walk there whenever I don't have a lot to carry and it's not too dark. Last week I ran all the way there!! I could always run for a long time on a treadmill, but not outside. That was a proud moment. However my final months of progress have been so slow that it's hard to tell if I'm doing enough to lose or simply maintain. It is really hard to eat much les than I do now with my job. I don't stop between 7 and 5. Hell, I eat my lunch standing at my lab table setting up lessons.

Shin splints, both legs. No running for a week or so, I guess. Biking for now. Problem is that biking never feels like a real workout. I did about 20 miles tonight, and yeah I sweated and huffed a little, but it was nowhere near the good endorphin pumping torture of a 5k run. (Yes, that's copied from FB, bite me.)

That reminds me, I had the shepherd's pie at the Stone of Accord in Missoula, MT during last year's MisCon. Fucking delicious.

We made some last week.
And by some I mean a lot.
And by a lot I mean everybody kept asking for some, yet it still lasted a few days.

On the health subject, I may be getting my insomnia back, possibly. I haven't been sleeping more than about 3-5 hours a night lately, if that.
 
Eh, I'm ok, I need to lose some more weight though to be in the shape I want to be in. My wife is ready to freaking pop right now though. Poor thing, she's at the stage where everything just aches right now and she's less concerned with labor than with getting that baby OUT.

Throwing up and other stuff at work. Hope they finish up with their training stuff soon so I can go home.
 
Does she got the baby waddle going on?


That always amuses me
Ha! You know, she doesn't. She's actually worried about that because she thinks it might mean she will need a c-section... but you know, we will deal with whatever comes our way. It's been a really good pregnancy, and she's been really happy with how she's carried the baby, from behind you can't even tell she's pregnant. We still have a few weeks though so duck waddle may very well come.

I've seen the waddle thing pretty much only when the time has come. It's kind of a sign.

Home now. Using phone to send this though. I reeaaly don't want to sit up.

Oddly enough she will feel better when this happens. Our due date is May 7th but I suspect that we are actually a little further out from that so her duck waddling may come soon! Muahahahahaha!

Tried to make soup... why did I try to make soup? More importantly, why did I try to eat it?:puke:

Yesterday, just before going in to work. I had to leave early and call off today.

Blech. I usually just drink a bunch of sprite and watch through an Arrested Development season in those cases. Good luck, Ms. Relm.

Going the ice cube route to remain hydrated. Not a fan of arrested development, but I've been watching dr who.
