Spring Challenge, Week #3
Just a quick update: I’m down 0.7% from my spring starting weight, and James is down 1.6%.
I’ve been having some weird fluctuations in motivation and mood lately. On one hand, I can see how these fluctuations are directly related to what i eat and when; on the other hand, it’s damned hard to change habits sometimes, even when they’re detrimental to one’s well-being. Basically, I need to eat lighter in the evenings, and lay off of the carbohydrates late in the day (even whole grains), otherwise I’m more inclined to munch all night (or until I manage to make myself full).
CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

Meme: Diana Needs…
I haven’t done one of these in a while; and, no, I wasn’t “tagged” for this one, either. I was just looking through some old blog entries yesterday, and came upon the “Diana is…” meme from a few years back, so I thought I’d do the related “Diana needs…” meme just for fun:
[Edited To Add: The idea here is to Google your first name with the verb “needs” or “is” and post the first several hits — particularly the amusing ones.]
Diana needs a wealthy husband who can provide her with the high life she craves while sheltering her from the media clamor that follows her every move.
> [Um, wrong Diana. Sorry.]
Diana needs a hug.
> [Always.]
Diana needs to come over and turn my charming studio into a warehouse loft!
> [Diana needs to paint her own living room first, kthx.]
Diana needs to make an announcement.
> [I do? Very well… I AM GOING TO HAWAII IN 35 28 DAYS.]
Diana… needs outa this town!
> [See above.]
Diana needs help.
> [Always.]
Diana needs to learn respect to the refs.
> [I got a rope… I got a tree… All we need is a… nevermind.]
Diana needs to take a trip to the museum to see all the beautiful paintings of women ten times bigger during the Roman/Greek times.
> [Maybe she does. Maybe Diana would feel better about herself if her likeness were dropped into a Boticelli or Bellini painting.]
Diana needs to get a few clues.
> [Again, always.]
