So instead of running last night I decided to stay in, curl up with the hubby and puppy, eat a huge bowl of ice cream with toppings(yeah, I recorded it- accurately even) and we watched/read a Swedish movie about an anti-Santa Clause who had a ton of old, naked, wrinkly men as elves (what did I do before Netflixs?).
That's close enough to exercise right?
Meh, whatever. I was in my calories for the day and my throat was so sore from the head cold that the ice cream felt AWESOME. I still call it a good day.
There was something I read on a forum here that has been bugging me since I read it yesterday....
**fair warning: chances of a rant ahead are very likely guaranteed**
Somebody posted something about "Diet Snobs". For the most part I think that dieting is a lot like religion- I am thrilled for you when it is working for you, but no- I do not want a ten minute long speech about how it is the only way or else you will burn in hell. Or get fat. Or even worse, go to hell and be fat for eternity. Considering the "diet and health" industry pulls in billions of dollars annually, I think it is safe to say that there is no one magic pill/workout routine/diet/hocus pocus/mantra that solves everyone's problems.
That being said- as someone who actually does get very, very sick if I eat gluten, this "gluten free diet" fad is ticking me off. First off, hubby and I do tend to eat healthier than other's my age- but that is because we were poor grad students when we found out that I couldn't eat gluten so we stuck to the cheap and easy stuff that turned out to be more natural; potatoes, rice, eggs, milk, fruits, veggies, etc.
Eating a pack of gluten free chocolate chunk cookies is not healthy and will not cause you to loose weight. I tried it- no dice.
Ok, moving on there was something else brought up in the particular forum that has happened to me and I have left a previous site because of it to come to FatSecret.
Everyone needs support for healthy living- even once you are at your goal weight it is a daily decision to be healthy and the best you can be. Whether you have 100lbs to lose or 10lbs to lose, everyone deserves to share their issues (in fact, I have yet to meet someone who has a lack of issues) and receive support. Being a shortie, only five feet, I tend to not even talk about my weight with others because when they hear how low my goal is they assume I am talking about some incredibly low weight that is unhealthy.
Guess what, 130lbs is overweight for me. And it felt overweight.
Should I receive less support because my goal is so much different? I don't think so. Again- this site I have not experienced this but I know there are some others out there that do deal with this. It sucks. For the record, I love giving support to everyone, and am happy everyone is in a different place- it helps me remember who is who (lol, not even kidding here).
So if you are a meanie, stop it.
If someone is being mean to you, be my friend and we can talk about how sucky it is when people are mean :)
** rant over **
If you seriously read all that, give yourself a cookie. Or a cup of coffee. Whatever's close- seriously. I just wanted to get that off my chest, and say thank you to all my buddies and people who give their support- you are pretty much the bomb-diggity.
I really wanted to squeeze the word "diggity" in there somewhere. It's staying.
XOXOXOXO
Things I am looking forward to today:
- Thunderstorms!!! I love, love, love thunderstorms
- I woke up early enough to chill out in bed for a bit
- Finally going to get somewhere with this one project at work :)
- If the storm is not thundering and lighting up the sky I will go for a run (for real this time, no ice cream. Well, it's a 50/50 on the no ice cream part)
- Hubby and I found another odd, foreign, horror film that we want to watch tonight.
- Comfy PJs
- My old sweatshirt (which is actually a new-ish sweatshirt because my old one finally all but went up in a puff of busted seams and worn out jersey held together with a decade worth's of stains)
