Luncheon

January 22, 2010 10:17 AM

A very busy day today, not nearly made busier by the fact that I had a hasty call from my neighbour who has yet another staffing issue and required assitance from me first thing this morning. Oh well. Wouldn't ordinarily be an issue but I had plans for today which I then had to re-arrange to a degree so I could fit everything in.

I did however manage to keep to my lunch meet up with ex-work friends which was very nice indeed. Probably shouldn't have eaten the nachos, but you know what I made a concious decision to eat them so that's ok. I also made another decision at the same time to go to the gym this weekend to burn them off, so that is also ok, but not nearly as pleasurable.

Back at home in the afternoon and I've plenty of work to keep me busy, including the challenge of explaining resolution (display, digital and print) to someone. It's not an easy concept to grasp so I can see why people get so confused with it, but I tried my best.

I also had some harassing to do in terms of the fridge repair people. I can see this whole thing becoming a saga so I've started logging down everything I do in relation to the whole charade in case I have to get really shitting with LG.

Round 2 of low carb dinners tonight and I opt for king prawn stir fry. It seems that those south beach cook books I bought several years ago are being useful again. I am still however unconvinced that what I'm being asked to do is just a form of calorie reduction which in itself will result in weight loss, rather than the type and time of food being consumed acting as the catalyst losing weight. I'm not particularly numerate, but the argument for just eating less than you burn still seems to be the simplest solution so far... You'll have to excuse the scepticism here, but as somewhat of a diet tart I've yet to find any solution that works LONGTERM other than eating less and exercising more (and that includes low carb diets).
