I'm breaking my new rule about no blogging after dinner because I'm too embarrassed to have skipped this blog for this many days in a row. Also, it's not good for me--I started this blog for accountability, because without it I keep screwing myself over.

I'm still doing good on not eating the Bad Things available at work--candy and pastries. I even had leftovers for lunch yesterday so I didn't have bagels. Today I wasn't organized about lunch so I had bagels. I'm not going to beat myself up about bagels.

I'm not sure what I want to do about ice cream. Ice cream has more nutritional value than you might think (flavors differ, of course), and it is good for the soul. I think that ice cream as a leave-the-house treat is perfectly fine. I also know that I'm capable of blowing through a pint of Ben and Jerry's in a day. (When I was thru-hiking, a pint of Ben and Jerry's was a snack.) For the record: I went through a pint of Coffee Heath Bar Crunch over the weekend and have dipped into the pint of Stonyfield Farm chocolate that's in the freezer, but I haven't demolished that one. We wound up with two pints because A. and I bought them simultaneously on different errand runs.

I think I'm going to throw some more embarrassing stuff on this blog, like how often I have sex.

Of course not.

But how late I go to sleep might respond to public airing. Last night it was 1:45, despite keeping to my resolution not to blog after dinner. Instead I finished the book I was reading (reasonable), finished another book I had idly started while reading the first book in this sentence, which meant reading the majority of it (it was short), and then wrote, longhand, for about another hour or so. None of that needed to happen last night.

Exercise: I was a blob all weekend. This was partly because on Sunday I was in a slough of despond, and partly because Saturday I was lazy. Friday and Monday I drove Z. to school and back purely because I was running late, so altogether I missed four days of regular exercise. Today I got my 16 blocks in. Today I expected to blog. So I think that keeping my appointment with this blog is important, but I am going to try to do it earlier in the day.

I need to start doing sit-ups. My back aches when I sleep. So that's another new thing to report on: when did I go to bed last night, and how many sit-ups.

I am currently reading P.G. Wodehouse.
