Idiot! Gosh!

I was out of town for the weekend and I did pretty damn well considering all that was going on. Family time is always stressful for me, but this time it was okay…and my eating habits reflected this. I was able to eat sensible meals and not binge. I even went on a couple of walks! The weather was nice and cool, and I really have to say that I miss Central Oregon. At least the nature. I miss the high desert. I miss the sage brush, the juniper trees, the volcanic landscape, the smell of the air after the rain, and my beautiful mountains. It’s different from the valley. In the valley all I smell after a good rain is mold. HAHA.

I don’t think I could ever move back to Bend, though. The place stinks. It’s congested, sprawling, and expensive. Whoever is running the show over there is letting money get in the way of good city planning. The reason everyone wants to live there is the close proximity to unspoiled nature and primitive recreation. With the population exploding like it is and the city boundaries constantly being pushed out…the reason people live there…will be gone. Then you’ll be left with this blemish in Central Oregon where beauty used to be.

I’m so upset about this that it’s all I can think about.

Either way…I left my shoes there. At my step-dad’s house. Idiot! This does give me an excuse to buy new shoes, but I hate breaking them in. It hurts. Maybe this time I’ll get the wider pair of shoes that I almost got last time and have regretted not buying ever since. Maybe that will make my workouts less painful. I dunno…maybe I just have to work through the pain!

I weighed myself this morning…and I think I may have lost two pounds since last week. Woo! My usual weigh-ins are supposed to fall on Sunday mornings, but I didn’t have access to my scale the other day. I can’t just weigh myself on different scales…I mean…the one at the gym reads ten pounds heavier than mine at home. So, while the actual, accurate number isn’t that important to me, I do want to at least see a number, any number, on a scale get lower. Perhaps I should get a lighweight digital scale that I can take with me when I’m gone for the weekends?

Anyway…sorry for the non-weight related rant!
