142.4 lbs. I know. It's just water weight. Had a conversation yesterday with a colleague who is trying to lose weight before his wedding. "I just look at the last number, " he said. "I don't even see the first two anymore." I like this strategy.
Woke up optimistic today. I really seem to be enjoying karate now, even considering adding a little Tae Kwon Do. Which would probably just confuse me but I would be getting a hell of a workout several days a week. I haven't given up the cricket idea yet and I haven't quite gotten back to running. Which adds up in my mind to, if I had the time I would probably do nothing but work out and learn languages.
Went to bed at 11. Woke up at 5:30, 5:50, 6:25. Should have gotten up the first time. I felt okay then. 6:30 left me kind of groggy. But much like the weight I tend to concentrate on one number. In this case the first and I would not mind my days of getting up with a 5 as the first number being over.
Date tonight. Someone from Match. I have no illusions of soul-mate-age but maybe he will be someone nice to add to the small world of people I know here.
Having more settling downy thoughts today. Want to look into what's affordable to buy. Can I get into a condo anyplace that would make my life livable and my home someplace I really wanted to be?
Wanted to start a school again today. Little kids. All language and physical activity. It's interesting to me that I want to work with younger children. I also thought of developing an entomology class at my current school. Maybe working up one day to a rotating set of electives cell biology, microbiology and entomology.
Thought of JL last night and was almost sick to my stomach. The one who got away. I would like to write something about him. Also made me think of going back to fencing (since I on this combat arts kick anyway). Then I thought of a bright sunny day and being indoors swaddled in a 3 piece fencing uniform versus being out on a cricket pitch. I think I can meet the same breed of man that JL is at cricket so I'm going to vote for the vitamin D producing hobby.
I wish I had more time to write in the morning. I use bullet points then :)
