I know, I really need to get out of it more often!!
I have another story.
On wednesday, as I mentioned I brought my lunch and one of my coworkers was asking me about chinese food. One thing he asked me was if the breading on stuff like chicken was bad. We are sarcastic & joke with each other ALL the time and i thought he was being facetious - so I laughed and then realized he was being sincere so I told him it was...
So Thursday I felt bad for laughing at him and sent him a brief email to apologize. He wrote back & said it didn't bother him at all, and that I'd inspired him to really look at how much sugar he was eating. He was asking me yesterday about controlling energy slumps and how you avoid them if you can't eat sugar to keep your blood sugar up.
So I sent him 3 links, one to the wikipedia page on the glycemic index, one to a john berardi article about fat, protein, and carbs, and another one which I forget now.
He popped by my desk later & thanked me for the articles then started asking me more questions about my weight lifting and results and stuff. So that was kind of neat.

I read in one of the John Berardi things last night that led me to think about posting at least one good thing per day. I have been feeling lately like my life is in a great place right now, and I've never felt like this. There has always been something that I wanted to change but felt like I couldn't. But right now there isn't - I love my house, I love kansas city, I'm getting married this fall, I'm working out, I'm eating well, paying off debt, I love my job... I guess part of the feeling, too, is that with this whole weightlifting/body transformation thing has come the feeling that if there's anything I don't like in my life, I can change it.
