Don't try to live your life in one day

I'm loathe to make one of those "no time to post" posts. After all, I had time to watch Dark Angel last night and time to pull one off after. No, no, I wasn't thinking of Jessica Alba when I yanked it. Well, maybe a little bit. I am extra busy this week, though. My "associate" is on vacation so I am one man doing the work of three. You knew he was the worker and I was the slacker, right? Despite all that, a few anniversaries rolled around this week. The blogging thing? Apparently I've been at it for about a year. I say "about" because there were a few hitches in the beginning. Like when I first realized someone was reading and I deleted everything. Eventually I put it back up and here it is a year later, and I'm still so fucking reticent to divulge lots of personal stuff. Dunno. I do think that I've made a little progress. Like lots of you know who I am, what I do, where I live, what I dream of. Change doesn't happen in a day. Well, it does, but it's the little things each day that add up. It's not castles and kings, it's the little things, my babies. It's been a year. I'm not sure there'll be another year. I LOVE these blogs, don't get me wrong, but what I really love is reading them, maybe leaving a pithy comment or two (often, tragically, trying to shift the spotlight to ME). For now, I can't express loudly or warmly enough what a treasure y'all have become to me. Some of the coolest people I know, I know through this lil' community. Is that sad? I think it's awesome.

Here's another anniversary I noticed last night. I've been doing the Fitday thing for four months now. Yes, yes, THAT again. I mention it only because it's been a boon to me and I if it can help someone else, what's a few extra lines on here? Just skim, bitch. Anyway, here's the chart of what's happened to my weight since I started. Yes, despite all that talk about abs from last year, I was steadily creeping up in weight. Now 188 on me is not bad at all. I'm 6'1", but I feel so much better now. My aim now is to gain five pounds or so, but preferably lean mass....some muscle, and if it's ass-centric muscle, the more the merrier. WAY more importantly than weight, though, is the Fitday has allowed me to track my nutrition stuff more closely. Make sure I'm getting all the nutrients I need. I decided when I started that if I had THAT down, the rest would be what it would be. And here again, each day is a brand new life. Nothing I can do about yesterday, but lots I can do about today. Little changes, most of them practically imperceptible, add up to a lot. But again, it's not about the outside, it's about taking care of the inside. Our insides are what really count, right? I almost kept a straight face on that one. Heh.Thanks to Kyle over at Freakgirl for pointing me to my boo.
