is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face. 
Lies & Illusions
Ok, this is the strangest movie that you’ll ever see.
Our hero (Christian Slater) is a recently famous self-help book writer, who’s fallen in love with a gorgeous blonde he doesn’t really know too well – although he doesn’t know that. After announcing his engagement at a public event, the pair are mugged outside and the girlfriend is kidnapped/killed, we don’t know what’s going on.
Christian is told by her lawyer that after a year has passed, he will inherit the dead girlfriend’s stuff, so we then see him after a year. After the year, he finally takes his friend’s advice and starts dating again.
This movie is way too obvious. We know that the new girlfriend is a bad guy who is probably just after the diamond’s the dead girlfriend has stolen from Cuba Gooding Jr. – we found that out in the lawyer’s office once our hero left and the bad guys came in to cut off the lawyer’s finger in a paper shredder.
It’s also not totally unexpected that SPOILER ALERT: the girlfriend is not really dead and comes back to save Christian from the bad guys and collect and share the diamonds with him.
The ending was really dippy. I wouldn’t bother even renting this if I were you. You hope that it’s going to turn into something and it doesn’t.
Now What?
I think my cold has completely gone away, I don’t feel sick in any way, however, I still do have this cough and I’m thinking that it’s as a result of quitting smoking – not the cold. So I think that my lungs are trying to break up WvTF is in there and get rid of it, so I’ll say that’s the reason I’ve still got a cough now.
I’m just waiting – hanging around until it’s time to go to Aquafit. I don’t normally do it on Mondays cuz the woman sucks – she gets down into the water with you where you can’t see an effing thing she’s doing. How are you supposed to figure it out that way? Anyway, I’m just going to that cuz I figured I’ve got to work out when I’m doing the weights and machines so that I’ll have a day off in between doing those to rest the muscles, and since there are no good classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays, I’m going to use those days as the weight days, which meant I had to do a class tonight.
In the 8-9 weeks I’ve been working out again, I haven’t seen any results in my body. I still feel like a big fat pig (and look like one) and I’m a little disappointed in that. I’ve got to get using the weights and machines in order to make a difference and I obviously haven’t been doing that enough.
And I’m also going to be tracking my eating since I know we started snacking at night since we quit smoking (anything for that constant hand to mouth habit). I think I’m going to have to chew more gum and forget about having some popcorn when we’re watching TV, especially since we don’t even pay attention to how much we put into the bowl.
Of course I could have given up beer and that might make all the difference in the world. But on my way home from work tonight, I decided that we should have some beer in the house – what’s a house without beer (my beer… my honey’s got some). If I can get it through my thick skull that I’m going to lay off beer for a while, then maybe I could knock some serious calories out of my weekly diet and actually see some results from all the working out.
Anyway, enough ranting. I should try to do something productive before I go to the club. Like maybe playing farmville or something.
Cold be Gone
Well the cold is not quite all gone – I have a cough now, just like when I smoked, but at least it’s a helluva lot better. I even went to work out again last night for the first time in a week. I took it a bit easy and just did a little warm up and then the machines – gotta build those muscles if I ever want my body to turn into a fat burning machine. I hope the cough hurries up and goes away – its kinda disappointing to have a cough again. I’d gotten used to it being gone.
Anyway, I’ve got a meeting tonight at 7:00. The good thing is that I don’t have to go all the way downtown for it, they booked a spot up here close to me. According to google, the fastest route for me to get to the meeting will take 8 minutes, and the longest route will take me 12 minutes. So I’m taking my sweet time, having a tea and dinner (I had a turkey breast sandwich on whole wheat) and then I’ll probably head out around 6:30. These are those meetings with the yappy people. But I think they’ve given the boot to one (or at least that’s what we all agreed to at last meeting) and one is away on vacation, so perhaps things will go quickly.
The problem when I get home around 9 or 10:00 at night is that I start my 8 or 9:00 routine of sitting and relaxing in front of the TV. So all of a sudden it’s 11:00 and I haven’t had enough time to relax in order to go to sleep, so I have to stay up til at least 12:00. It screws my timing right up.
Oh, and BTW, I’ve never liked whole wheat bread. I’ve never liked the taste of it although I’ve eaten it before they came out with multigrain, just because it was supposed to be ‘good for you’.
The last couple of days for lunch I’ve had a tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread and, you know what? It was delicious. I’ve been liking this whole wheat bread. It’s Wonder bread! Wonder Plus, 100% Whole Wheat Bread! And it’s got 190 calories for 2 slices with 4 grams of fibre there and only 4 grams of sugar. That’s not bad. There’s another kind of bread that I’ve been eating mostly – I think it’s called Body Wise – which has fewer calories and more fibre, but as far as a whole wheat taste goes, I think I’d stick with this one for a change every now and then.
Ok, I guess somebody better start paying me sponsor money or something for those kind of plugs
