Comments are now closed on entries over a month old, and trackbacks are disabled on all entries. Take that, spambots!
I suppose if I had looked around a little bit, I could have found a script that would close comments automatically after 30 days (and if anyone knows where I can find and install one for MT quickly and idiot-proofedly, bring it on), but I sort of wanted to back through old entries. In doing so, I have learned some interesting things. For instance...
*There are some aspects of this weight loss thing that I "get" immediately (lots of water = good, strength training is important), and there are some things (lots of refined carbs = bad, what my trigger foods are, that I will never get my money's worth out of Champions Fit because I cannot magically become a morning person) that I seem to discover over and over again like it's the first time.
*I'm horribly, abysmally bad at following through on any kind of challenge. Or following any regimented diet plan, even if my body responds really well to it.
*My long range plans very seldom work out the way I expected them to, mostly because I forget about them after about a month.
*I bore easily.
*I will sign up and participate in about 1/2 to 2/3s of the events that I intend to participate in per year. I will forget that I ever intended to sign up for the other 1/3-1/2 of these events (I wanted to do a triathlon this year? Are you KIDDING ME?)
*With the exception of the wedding pictures (because someone else did my hair and makeup, and my abs were bodyweared into submission), I haven't really liked a picture of myself since 1993.
*When I say that I'm not going to worry about the number on the scale so much as the healthiness of my body, I'm totally lying.
*I weigh the same amount now as I did in April of 2004, and I'm perfectly okay with that.
*I think I've finally found a plan I can stick with. (Though now that I've called it a plan, I've probably doomed it to failure.)
