Anymore I just go "Still living? Still have all my limbs? Fair enough. Try to ease off on the carbs, woman" when it comes to my numbers.

I have no idea what my numbers are or what they should be. My doctors tell me and I try very hard to retain at least what, say, my blood pressure ought to be (note to self, drop by a pharmacy and check it) but it's pretty much in one ear and out the other.

Yeah, I look at how much my veggie intake has increased since January, and I'm pretty happy with that. I do need to get back to the gym instead of just walking outside, but that's mostly because I'm like a junkie for endorphins. I'm lazy and would rather not work out, but then the endorphin rush when I'm done is AWESOME. I should download the zombie run app (which in my case would be zombie walk faster than a stroll).

Yes, you should! And it'll totally work with strolling most of the time and walking briskly when the zombies are after you if that's what you want to do. The story is quite good, I often want to go for a run just because I want to find out what happens next.

There's also The Walk, if you want to incentivize yourself to park farther away from stores and things like that. It counts total minutes walked in the day (when it's on/tracking). Not so much with the endorphins, though.

Seriously, the switch to working from home has really reduced how much I walk throughout the day, because my bathroom is 20 steps away, instead of all the way down the hall (or in the other office tower, which is what I did to add steps in).

Tim suggested that every time I go to the bathroom, I head outside and walk to the corner and back. Because the neighbors don't think I'm crazy ENOUGH already.

Oh, I think I've asked this before: does the Zombies, Run app work if you're on the elliptical? That machine is evil and yet it's my BFF. I can haul way more ass on that than I can when I'm walking.

I have not tried it, but I believe that it does, you'll just have to use the accelerometer, rather than the GPS>

Stupid oatmeal. You had one job.

We went to the zoo on Sunday. At the front entrance we gave Ryan the map to carry. We got five paces before he dropped it. Hand to God, I looked at him in mock outrage and said, "Ryan! You had ONE JOB!"

It is possibly not my finest parenting moment. Biyi, however, thought it was hilarious. (Which is possibly not her finest parenting moment.)

Ellipticals are of the Devil. At leasat for me. I think it's my shitty sense of balance--as soon as I try to use one I'm struggling to maintain my balance and my thighs get super tense and painful. The longest I've been able to manage on one is two minutes.
