I'd like to maintain that I prefer the miniature snickers candies over a whole snickers bar, because an entire bar is just too much. But, if I end up eating enough of the minis to equal a whole bar, where does that leave me?

I'll be glad when there is no Easter candy in sight (i.e. other people in the building need to do their parts and finish all of the secretary's candy).

So, apparently my advisor does P90X and thinks that it's "really cool". I need to step up my game. Granted, she is an active person, but she's got at least 20 years on me. I know that there are also people with 30, 40, and 50 years on me who could kick my tail in sports, fitness, etc. too, so I should at least try to do SOMETHING (besides yoga). I did start a home workout yesterday, so we'll see how Day 2 turns out.

I've decided that while it's nice to see those numbers fall on the scale, I'm going to try to rely less on the scale and absolute numbers and focus more on my endurance and how my body changes (i.e. can I fit into that dress or those pants again). We'll see how it goes. I know that it's something that I really have to want to do, otherwise, I'll just give it a little lip service and keep doing what I'm doing now (which is nothing besides). I hope that it sticks. The nice weather should help, and I hope to get out and start doing more outdoor activities. Wish me luck!

I'm pretty sure that I should start leaving Michael Jackson songs out of my day to day shuffle. I get too many urges to start dancing at work. The urge is amplified on the weekends when I'm the only one here. I resist the temptation, though, because I know that as soon as I bust out a moonwalk (a sorry excuse for one), I'll turn around and someone will be there.

Thank you Tech for being inexpensive and having out of state fee waivers. One of the undergrads here told me that while he'd like to go to grad school, he needs to get a job, because he's about $130K in the hole from his time here as an undergrad. WTF?? Education should not be so expensive. It's really ridiculous.
