Operation Do Not Eat So Damn Much

[ishte]

Is having a 'measured' success if you will pardon the pun. As in, I measured it this morning and I have dropped 5 pounds now. It's amazing how you can gain 20 pounds when you are sick for months. I really thought I was watching what I was eating, but no being able to exercise really makes it difficult, and also I imagine I was eating a lot more comfort food, and stuff that requires 0 effort. Most of what I cook is pretty simple to make anyway, but often I didn't even feel like the 5 minutes of prep to cut up some veggies to steam. I just wanted to nuke something and be done. Also, since I wasn't able to use my trainer all winter due to these ear issues, I also didn't get any exercise. 5 weeks total that I spent primarily in bed or in my chair without the energy to do much else. My finances are a mess now, but being back to work will get that in order soon. I have a raise coming in another few weeks. I thought it was supposed to be another 40¢, to total 80¢ in the first year, but I've been told by some that it's actually 80¢ for the second raise. Either is fine, but 80¢ would be grand. That works out to about $60 more each pay check. Also I am one of the center's sales leaders, so I get a decent sales bonus too once a month.

Now I have to get on my bike. I need to go to the bank, and also I want to go to CVS and use my $10 extra bucks before they expire. Then down Maple to the library. Then home again.

P.S. My bike says I went 57.1 MPH today.
I don't think this wireless speedometer is completely accurate.
