I started college feeling rather proud of myself. Of course, that first semester, I got mono and dropped another 40 lbs. At any rate, I'm being a little more healthy than I was then, but I'm hoping to be just as focused. One of the most important parts of this plan is to try and move away from eating when I'm bored. I'll search the house or go to the corner store whenever I don't have enough to do.
Eating fills up a lot of empty time.
So I came home and started putting my groceries away. I usually catch the first 20 minutes of Oprah before I head out the door. It's usually pretty interesting, but I'm not so drawn in that I can't bring myself to shut off the set. Today, she had a bunch of people on who decided to make some positive changes in their lives before the year 2000. One woman got a family portrait taken, the first in the ten years since one of her daughters was murdered.
