The pictures peter out (no homo) after about page four or so. But that Jason Statham is a keeper!

Not to keep on harping about my fitness routine this week, but, damn, I'm proud of myself!! Even though my back was really starting to hurt when I was leaving work, I still stopped by the center and got on the treadmill for 21 minutes (a minute longer than Wednesday), and I went a tad faster, too. Then, I stopped by the convenience store on the way home for milk, and I just had to look at the Ben & Jerry's selection to see if they had in the Stephen Colbert flavor, and even though they didn't they had my second favorite one (Strawberry Cheesecake), so I had my hand on the freezer case handle, but took it off and bought my milk, got in the car and pulled out of the parking lot. As soon as I was on the road, I shouted, "FUCK Yeah!!!"

Then I got home and talked to my parents and sister, and now my dad is coming up tomorrow to hang (his wife is in LA this weekend, so he's bored). I must clean tonight!

You go, Kathy.

I'm trying to tighten up my eating. So far that means no toppings on my hamburgers. I haven't yet calculated if that makes me eat more fries or not.

Pitbulls are for wimps.

Yeah, they still don't have Stephen Colbert's ice cream locally either. I keep checking, because yo, I am a fangurl. So I keep buying other kinds of ice cream. But I scooped it out into tiny little containers so at least I have some kind of portion control. And I stepped down to the next size of plate since I've been maintaining instead of losing.

Yay you, Kathy! I should get off my ass at some point in my life....

OK, since I don't eat ice cream (I have lactose, sugar and fat digestion issues that make it easy to avoid,) why am I not losing needed weight, damnit!

Kathy, I so get your triumphs. When I was swimming regularly, I'd come out of the pool and practically evangelize cause I felt so good. Endorphins, I guess. But really, I never felt more at peace with my body than when I was swimming and aching from it.

OK, I know this is ridiculous, but I love being old enough that all of the references on TV are my references! On CSI: "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)" and "Oh Sheila," now on Psych: 227! Ha.

Dear landlord,

My heating unit has still not been repaired, nor have the holes in my bathroom wall, or the broken doorknob.

These things were supposed to be repaired on February 14th, but nothing was done, nor did I receive any notice of when to expect the work to be done.

I've checked the California Department of Consumer Affairs California Tenants handbook, and because you've made no effort at making these repairs, I'm filing a complaint with both the city of Los Angeles, and the state, on Monday.

I'm saddened that you've chosen to treat me so poorly. I've lived here for over five years, and between the 10 days of used bathwater pouring into my apartment and the broken heat, I think I've been a patient and understanding tenant long enough, and now I have no choice but to file a complaint.

Sincerely,

Allyson

Whoo! Hit a motherlode of Wentworth Miller. I was beginning to feel guilty about the taking and the stuff, and then I hit a block of WM pics that were all from my sites.

Lust. It's what powers the internets.

My sister's evangelizing from her swimming high is the reason I was able to join the fitness center/pool (she wanted me to feel like she did after swimming, so out of the blue, she sent me the money to join). Lately, though, she hasn't been working out at all, so after getting "Hell, yeah!" e-mails from me all week, she got her fiance over the Y with her today and signed him up so they could work out together. They spent almost two hours there today, between the treadmill and weights.

Speaking of weights, when I was talking to my dad, he said he had some 3-pound weights I could have, so I'll use those for my reps. Oh, and when I was on the treadmill tonight, I made it a point to get my hands off of the support bars and start pumping them to burn more calories. I still leaned a bit (2 minutes on the bars, 3 off), but it's an improvement!
