"My resolve has never been stronger"
Sep. 1st, 2005 07:20 amJust forget I said that last month. This month it's true! I WILL start exercising again and I WILL stick to my diet, with very minimal cheating. Go me. I forgot to weigh myself this morning though to get a good starting weight recorded. Dang. I'll have to make a good estimation based on what I was the last time I dared step on the evil scale.
I feel a little dumb focusing on a diet, or on Star Wars, or anything, really, with what's going on in New Orleans and other cities in that region. I don't really know what to say about it that the media hasn't already said. Um... it sucks. Bigtime. I don't know anyone over there personally so I feel very removed from it all. I feel grateful that I have my health and my house and my possessions. I will donate $ to help the victims (but since I'm me, I will donate to an animal shelter helping animals in the region... the people will receive more help than the animals anyway). People who bitch about the gas prices just need to shut up. I don't know if we're getting ripped off or not (someone said 65% of our oil comes from Canada?), but we're lucky we're able to go fill up our cars and go about our merry business.
One thing I read in the paper this morning that particularly struck me... a mother said she was given 2 diapers for her baby, and told "when it gets dirty just scrape it off and use it again." Ewwwwww. Those poor, poor babies. Poor everyone. And lucky me, sitting here in relative luxury.
