misdirection
Twice in the past two months (I know that's not frequent, but bear with me here), I've been told I have nice skin. What's with that? Do I actually have nice skin or is that the only nice thing people can think to say about me?
So, yeah, I have a pretty fragile sense of self.
I went to a wedding this weekend and wore a shirt without a tie. It looked okay beneath the suit. Before finding the shirt I ultimately ended up wearing, I thought I'd go in a t-shirt under a suit direction. I tried that out and it didn't work at all. I got a light blue "athletic fit" XXL t-shirt from GAP. The fit was all wrong. I'll need to lose at least 15 pound before I'm comfortable wearing that shirt.
And I wish I'd had the camera in the kitchen this morning. Normally a phrase like "camera in the kitchen" is about food someone has cooked but not in this case. As I think I've mentioned before, that's where I keep my scale. I was under 250 lbs. by 3.4 lbs. I can only attribute that to last night's meat-free dinner - a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch sprinkled with a few chocolate chips.
Don't get me started on my lack of soda intake. I had about 10 ounces of Sunkist this past Saturday at the wedding. That's it since the previous Monday. I'm doing well, but I haven't fully eliminated my sugary/caffeiney soda intake. But that Sunkist was mixed with Maker's Mark. Fantastic stuff.
