hungry and achy

yes, body aches... is it lack of food or sugar?... lack of specific food, like protein (the aches are in muscles)... would meat matter?... i eat little meat overall, that is little meat flesh... i eat lots of cheese and grain protein... to i'm gonna make some meat tonight... i have some pork cutlets defrosted so, that's dinner... and salad... and that's where i am going now, after walking the incredible staring dog again cuz it's going bonkers at the door...

does your life have details?... i mean, you eat, right? :)

sprinting around the bases

good thing i got some sleep as there was a more serious than usual softball practice that ended in sprints... first to first, then home to second, then home to third, then home around back to home, and finally second to home... a couple of the guys did not finish, which is sad, since they are mostly in their twenties... only one caught me and that was as i slowed up to cross home plate, which i'll remind them about next practice to hopefully motivate them to try harder since they all agreed they wanted to play in the competitive division and not in the recreational division...

after the sunday team practice, i headed over to the monday-thursday league practice and definitely was feeling the sprints in the leg and ab muscles... so on the way home i bought protein and ate only protein (mostly... i stopped at boston market and got just chicken and meatloaf, no sides... the legs feel better already... i figure the meatloaf has enough carbs and both have enough fat to be balanced... i'll take vitamins for the missing essentials... i hear my newly turned vegan friend in my mind . . . or is that conscience?... still, i must trust this body to tell me what is best at this point)... and drinking only water after a cup of grapefruit juice... now if i just cut out the extra carbs i've been indulging in since last halloween or so (and the game nights, oh those decadent game nights)...

the sprints tell me it is time to drop the belly and so, for this moment, i am telling myself to stop the madness and focus on scales and that old faithful number 180 (since i did not drop below it last time i decided to actually take optimal weight and conditioning seriously)... we shall see if today is another moment of change... ah, if only i lived with a cheerleader... i respond very well to cheerleaders... sometimes :)

a bit past noon

ok, a few hours past... so much to do, so little time... it's not like we had an appointment to meet here or anything, right?... i'm not that popular, after all... just you few hundred million quiet humans and the dog in the corner who doesn't want anybody to know he can read... stop looking at him, it makes him sad cuz he realizes he's the only dog in the room... at least the only one who has a tail and usually walks on all fours... come on now, be good humans, i told him you don't bite...

so more work got done at work and now i'm only a month and a half behind, or thereabouts... and now, after some yummy food from cheeseburger cheeseburger and a five minute nap, i am off to try to beat the traffic to the batting cages and then practice... it's cold outside, must find something warm to wear under the uniforms... so whatever you're doing, make it fun :)

win some lose some lone some blues some

well, it's better than die some (he's so clever, he kills me, i mean, he just slays me... guffaw, guffaw, oh, hello, i didn't see you there... welcome to thereal... you might be the first guest as most everybody i know has yet to discover this moment-to-moment daily blog i've been keeping for, oh, months now (toss of the hair)... i really am feeling fashionable tonight, really i am...

so anyway, frustrated with the circumcisions circumstances of the previous entry and the fact that the gym was jammed up, i cooked meat and pasta and cheese and rice and onions and mushrooms and nuts and all sorts of condiments and spices and then, i ate… twice what i ought to have eaten, in fact, and then… i went for a walk… impulse madness was ready to do it, if best buy was open i was gonna buy a laptop and a printer (yes, i can be that impulsive, but if you didn’t know that, well, you are not paying attention or you are very new in my written gardens)… best buy was closed, so i walked over to kinko's and printed the letter and dropped it in the drop box, defying the sign that said don’t, and then… i walked into the gym…

feel the tension, hear the clint eastwood music… anyway, even after a big meat dinner and after eleven hours at work and a walk and disappointment and frustration and all that, i did 42 minutes on the elliptical… and where for art thou appreciative partner?... alas, thoust hast forsoothed slayered and missed the boat… yes, so anyway, i’m guzzling water right now to try to persuade the kidneys from stoning me they often do after pushing the body immediately after a meat meal… i’ve been feeling them buzzing around in there ever since i started on the elliptical again… especially the right one… oh, the right one.. when will the right one come along, looking for the right one… la la la…

it is time to go now… though i am a bit too wired to sleep, i shall go write some more somewhere else… you are welcome to join me there, of course, if you ever get here (poke poke :)
