Random Wednesday #15
Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl).
- I’m not sure if it was a good idea but I went to TWO boxing classes back to back in the evening and ran in the burning sun at lunch on Tuesday. I’m not sore but I’m not moving quite as quickly as I usually do.
- Now that both kids are away at school, both California Girl and I have lost a little weight. We’re not quite sure why.
- I’ve become an expert at texting on my new phone. Because they have class, lab, recitation, etc. and can’t always pick up a call, it’s the best way to reach the kids.
- I’ve been watching “The Ultimate Catch” of and on for the past few weeks. I’ve never watched reality dating shows in the past; but this one as captivated my interest for some reason; perhaps because I’m a fan of 85. He’s quite a character both on and off the field.
Maybe you’re losing weight because you guys are cooking less food. Since the kids have left us, I’m not eating as much as I used to either. Weird. I’m not consciously doing it. Plus, there’s less food around to tempt me into having seconds.
Just a thought.
My thoughts exactly. No longer feeding teenagers can make a huge difference. After my siblings and I left home, my mom complained that my dad (who did most of the cooking then) still tended to cook for 5 instead of 2, then didn’t want any of the leftovers. It took him awhile to adjust.
Mountain Girl: California Girl does a good job of preparing meals for two; but there isn’t quite as much “extra” since it’s much easier to predict what the two of us will eat than two kids who may be very hungry or just have normal portions.
Mr. Manic Depressive: We’re not sure what the cause is; but, it may just be because we’re not around the house as much since we’re done so many road trips. Plus we have leftovers more than we used to because it doesn’t take so much to feed just the two of us.
Weight loss? I guess you two are just getting even more horizontal exercise.
Alfie: Not a lot of change in that area.
i bet it is all the extra sexercise!
Oh wait I see someone called that already- well maybe your’re doing it a little harder?! :O
Viemoira: It doesn’t seem like it but we’re probably not eating as much. I wonder if that happens to anyone else?
