It is so. Damn. Gross. Outside today. Yuck. I hate liquid air, especially when there's also that much damn pollen around. It really needs to rain, like, yesterday.

They keep promising a chance of rain, but they lie. Also, when they keep having the change in temprature coming the day after tomorrow, I get suspicious.

I don't own a scale, so I rarely weigh myself, but I just saw someoen weighing themselves in the nurse's office and decided to also. I am down 7 lps from this time last year and 10 lps from the heaviest I got around September/October. That's nice to see.

I am staying inside and eating gazpacho mmmm.

I started, once I got over my stupid issues, weighing myself every time I hit the gym. I have the consistentest weight ever. Once I start training my weight oscillates around and then settles on 147 +/- 1/2lb. So when I was on those stupid migraine-preventing meds and dropped to 143, it was strange and unsettling. A couple days after quitting them, I was right back up.

Someone at krav called me really strong pound for pound. I felt sad disillusioning her -- I might be strong inch for inch, but I'm not running that low on the poundage.

Age or weight -- those are the numbers I seem to be startling people with these days.

I can watch him in perfect safety and comfort.

Everyone can watch him from safety and comfort, JZ. He's just mine is all.

Sigh. I hate to say it, but I want to see it again. Not right away, but when it hits the $1 theaters.

I'm packing up my classroom library. I have 10 10-gallon tubs and 2 14-gallon tubs full. Those are the books my kids have access to and check out frome me. this does not include the myriad sets of books, nor curriculum.

Teaching is a high paper sport.

flea and I were talking about perceived age a couple days ago. I think we both got the "not many wrinkles" gene, because both of us could pass for younger than, say, Dawson Leery (who is my age), based on forehead wrinkles. That dude has canyons, where I have one vertical line and two short horizontal ones.

I am notoriously crappy at estimating dress size among friends, so I do not even try to guess weight any more.

Hmph. My post didn't post, and I couldn't come back to get it.

After years of talking about weight numbers with my good friends of many shapes and sizes, I have a pretty good sense of what stuff looks like, so I'm not surprised by ita.

And Kat, I can only imagine how much paper teachers have -- I'm about to need another file cabinet, and I'm only a student!

Christian Bale is on Fresh Air today!

I am trying to be much more focused on size and feeling, rather than weight.

I was weighed everyday of college and the weight was always never what my coaches wanted, so I developed compulsive weighing myself issues and decided it best to not have them around (thank dog that is the only issue I developed).

I still think of myself as my college graduation weight, but really is cuurently 17 lbs more than that, shape is 2-4 inches different depending on where. I am still learning to accept that my body parts are shifting and falling all without consulting me.

I'm overweight. And I'd be bothered by it. Except I'm generally not. I was weighed in college and had both my weight and my percentage of body fat posted in the locker room in the atheletic department. Weekly.

I was the official fatgirl. That was 30+ pounds ago and I get angry when I think about how much I worried then.

I worry more about the acne.

No more paper!

I feel you kat. I'd kill for my college/high school body.

OTOH, if I'm going to kill, I might as well aim high and ask for Gina Torres' body
