Mind you, since right now Ryan and I are at more-or-less starvation level, living off dry cereal, instant oatmeal, and the kindness of friends (mostly the Grr and Scott) right now would be a poor time to start dieting. It is a GOOD time to start getting some exercise, which will mainly consist of a few blocks' walk a day, although even that may have to wait until I talk to my doctor next - the side pain is getting worse again and her nifty plan of 2-vicodin-a-day for me is REALLY making my life suck since I am now OUT of vicodin courtesy of enough pain that it takes 4-6 a day, sometimes more.

Anyway, as soon as it's even possible to eat something other than carbs and sugar, I'm going to do a variation on Grr's menu plans - I'm going to figure out how much I can eat each day, and damned well stick to it!

Hrm. My usual obsession with elipsises (no, I'm not even going to TRY to spell correctly tonight) has been replaced with an overfondness for dashes. What next, semicolons? Quotation marks? You'd think I could write without getting all hung up on one particular piece of punctuation.

Ehh.

Anyway, painkillers are starting to wear off again slightly so I'm off to pummel my body into acceptance of its current state again.

Oh, and if anyone out there happens to want a new message system, check out this one... 's pretty nifty. If you get it, let me know and I'll quite happily share space in my world.

update: 260, not 160. I wish. If I were 160 I'd be trying to GAIN weight, I suspect - with my body structure, around 180-190 is about right. Um... that's all. Go away now.
