Fighting the Dark Cloud of pudge!!

Well, I finally started reading my Total Body Makeover (or something like that) book by Bob Green.  I bought it a while ago and never wanted to start it.  So far, I have read the introduction and part of Chapter 1.  He seems to make sense (as they all do at the onset) because he wants to address “why we are overweight” before starting any food changes or exercise programme.  I will keep you posted.  One line from the introduction that struck me was “I won’t let anything stop me from reaching my goal”.  (ok I paraphrased as I do not have the book in front of me).  Simple words, but in some ways quite powerful and empowering.

In the meantime, I have to write this g-d awful essay for my principal’s course practicum.  It is unlike any NORMAL essay as I have a series of boring headings I must use and which, for the life of me, I cannot drag 2000 - 2500 words under.  It includes such riveting topics as legislation related to my practicum, board policies related to my practicum (and all to be listed in appropriate essay format).  Am I to list them or talk about them how they influenced me (or more appropriately make up how they influenced me).  It is terrible when you have to deconstruct common sense and put it into a restrictive format.  If they just asked me to talk about my project it would be far more passionate and interesting…or maybe not to the ‘bean counter-types” who will be reading this. Obviously they are preparing me for all the bs I will have to face if I am a school administrator!! (I cannot imagine why else they would do this!!!)

Alright, I am actually going to head down to the gym and read more of that book while cycling on the recumbent bike.  I love exercising without noticing!

Cheers!
