books and stuff
many times i feel like i shouldn't be writing because i have nothing to say. i like it when i have entries that are sparked by some grand idea or theme. but hey some of them are just about nothing and thats the way it goes. this is one of those entries that really isn't about any theme or grand idea. ok?
today i purchased 3 books:
1. Marathoning For Mortals.
2. Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork : A 12-Stop Program to End Bad Habits and Begin a Healthy Lifestyle
3. Sly Moves: My Proven Program to Lose Weight, Build Strength, Gain Will Power, and Live your Dream
Both #1 and #3 were suggested by amazon...#2 is the book i actually went online to order. the others looked good too though. Quit Digging... was featured in Runners World a while back. Remember? The Mayor that got in shape by running and eating better? Sounds good to me.
Today's gym adventure featured about ~1.5 miles on the 'mill and 15 minutes on the elliptical. I should probably take time off from running completely, and I think I will. Lots of hot girls today. Many were so tiny, I think I can fit them in my pocket.
Tonight: Shoulders. And maybe some more elliptical action.
---
Lifted shoulders but no ellipitical. I tried to deny the fact that I (over)snack when I'm stressed out. I don't want to admit it because it makes me feel like a weak person. But its true, I do it. That's not cool. But I finally admit to myself that I do it. Hi my name is brent and i snack and snack when i'm stressed out. So now the next stage can commence.

I'm getting to be like Dawn ... I saw a hot girl today, and thought: I wonder if Brent would think that was a hot girl?? Too funny.

Those books look excellent. I’m looking forward to hearing your reviews. ~ I can’t remember if it was you or not, but did you happen to read The DaVinci Code a few weeks ago? I went to a seminar last week at my church discussing the book (even though it is historical fiction), so I think I might get that book and more important, the book Cracking the Da Vinci Code by James Garlow. ~ Also, I was wondering, what do you plan do for cross-training on Sundays? I hope your shins are feeling better!

I just saw a blurb about Knife and Fork in Men's Health (I bought a single issue for Bucko, it was pretty good). Let us know what you think.
Also, some bad news: I just read an article (sorry didn't save the URL) saying how diet sodas give the same insulin response as real sugar, and cause you to be hungry all the time - maybe that is part of the snack snack cycle. Or possibly you aren't eating enough at your designated meals? Sometimes I go overboard with the calorie-cutting and it takes me a while to realize I'm HUNGRY because I'm not eating any FOOD. Duh.

I thought of you this week because my fridge is completely empty and I noticed that when I don't eat an actual dinner with protein, the ver next day, I'm hit with the never-ending snack attack. I think there was one day where I downed half a box of crackers and 4 granoala bars. Then there was the attack of the peanut M&M's...
Anyway, just a thought about the snacking. I'm discovering how hard it is to work many, many long hours and not snack your way through the day. Good luck!

Those sound like great books. Heh, I saw a cute t-shirt on my way home. No, a hot chick was not wearing it...lol. Anyways this average looking guy walks by and the shirt said "Drunk Chicks think I'm hot!" Made me laugh the rest of the way home from my run.
