Singing the Skyand rockin’ tha house

I have never been able to pronounce the word “refrigerator” in Spanish. Unfortunately, that’s not the only problem I have with refrigerators. I also have the problem of standing in front of them far too often. I’ll get to that in a minute.

Don’t you just love that orange fridge? I want it. It’s about $2300, which in my messed up little mind, somehow seems reasonable. It’s totally ME. Of course, the red one would match the kitchen appliances that I have been collecting for the past twenty years. Click on the photo and you can see it in all of its glorious colors.

Anyway. If I did buy a new fridge (which will probably happen in a year or two), I should probably buy the invisible model. At least if they’ve invented an invisible fridge by then. Because, you know, they really should. It would solve all sorts of problems, and the person who came up with the design would win some sort of award for solving much of the country’s obesity problem.

I’ve been thinking about self-control. Try as I might, unless I eat practically nothing but nasty meat (not real fond of meat…), I get the hungries. An almost no-carb diet is the only thing that gets rid of them, and I just don’t think I can maintain that for the rest of my life. So, since I can’t control hunger, I’m going to focus on what I can control.

I can control what goes in my mouth. I’ve switched to only eating healthy foods (again…) and of course this is a good example for Sage, although the low-cal stuff really doesn’t help Greg much. We are like Jack Sprat and his wife. Nuf said.

More importantly, I can have the discipline to get up off my butt and go to the gym, which I have been doing. It really feels awesome to know that I can control burning calories, even though sometimes I just can’t help having that midnight snack. Because I’m really hungry!

So I’m doing a couple of things right. I’ve lost four pounds so far, which is reasonable for two weeks. I’m trying to get into the “lifestyle” mindset as opposed to the “lose 30 pounds in 30 days” mindset. I figure at the very least, I’ll build endurance and be a heavy woman who can kick ass.

Sage walked three miles on an incline today with me. He goes with me whenever I go. It definitely counteracts some of those video games!
