More Blogging

More Blogging:

I would like to do more blogging, but I just can't seem to find the time. I considered dropping a quick entry tonight -- but gave up on it, because I didn't want to potentially flag myself as an internet abuser at a sensitive government job (I love the job -- but the particularities -- and the high profile potential image, are a bit tiring at times like these :-)).

I actually ate two (small) pieces of chocolate cake today. I did it at the end of the day -- and, yes, I did feel pretty guilty about it. It's not the end of the world, but it's not the get tough variety. I think I just feel powerless at times over the calling nature of sweets that get parked at the end of my desk. I honestly wish no one would bring that sort of food to the office -- I simply eat it. Period. If it wasn't there, I wouldn't eat it. Therefore, I guess in some measure I do feel a bit out of control about it -- much like an alcoholic who can't turn down a drink if it's put in front of him (I can easily do that. . . that's like nothing to me).

It also doesn't help that the new girlfriend likes to make ice cream -- from scratch at home. I don't think she understands that while I will gleefully eat it: a) I do actually wish she would NOT make it; and b) it's really NOT good for me.

I'm convinced more than ever that the road to abs (or 6% body fat) -- is paved with less food rather than more exercise. My demon is purely caloric -- not exercise.

On that note. . .

1 MILLION METERS - ROWING

In spite of (above), I made ~990,000 meters today -- another ~8,000 meters and I'm over the top. I'll be pretty stoked to get the t-shirt.
