Numb Fingertips

See what a weekend off can do? I started playing my guitar yesterday after I got out of work at 3:30 (after which I gorged on sushi....lets not go there again) and played it for like five hours straight, and now I can (almost seamlessly) play "Eleanor Rigby". I have a poster of guitar chords and I looked up the progression and its a really easy song. By the way, I can't play guitar at all but I've always wanted to so I've decided to really start practicing chords and stuff. Starting yesterday.

Hence the numb fingertips. Gotta build up my callouses. Feels like playing razorblades at first.

Well, I did end up going to the mall, I just got back. "Pumping up the economy", as my dad would say. Gotta do my consumerist part, ya know?

Probably spent all the money I made in OT pay yesterday in one fell swoop. But I haven't bought myself new clothes since October and it was kind of fun. Got some cute Aeropostale tshirts and two American Eagle ones. I'm usually not that preppy but every once in a while I like to dress cute. (Usually I'm just in jeans and a ratty sweatshirt...I know, classy.)

I have been 98% successful in not letting any solid food pass these lips today. I say 98% because I DID have a few wasabi peas...but the calorie content of 10-15 of those is negligible. Otherwise I've had a skinny latte ~150 cals (after cleaning out my calcified espresso machine), ~65 cals of spicy V8, H2O, anddd......I think thats it.

So....I'm pretty pleased with myself today.

Did I mention Mr. Scale told me I'm 148.8 right now, after he told me I was 149.6 this morning?
I am a pound away from hitting another goal! (147!)

I'm rambling....sorry. Suffice it to say I'm in a good mood today. Having a day and a half has made a big difference. Try having only four days off (if that) a month for nearly six months and you tell ME what kind of mood you're in.

Off to read and comment for a while...then I need to CLEAN!

love you XOX

::EDIT:: Josh called. He's stopping at Subway because he's hardly eaten today and he's getting food. He wheedled it out of me that I haven't eaten at all today (he sprung it on me...I didn't have enough time to make up a fictional meal I ate) and now he's going to force feed me a sub. He doesn't want me eating less that 500 cals a day and he gets mad when I fast because its "not healthy". DAMMIT DAMMIT asdfjdlkw;ojafdfjaoujhefbn. There goes my fast. Other than *that* I did really well today so I guess I can't be too upset. I picked one of Jared's 6 grams of fat or less subs, so it will be healthy-ish. I'm off to weigh myself to see what progress I made today, if any.
