Another week, another half inch

Not bad, especially when you consider this last week included Christ’s Mass Eve, Christ’s Mass, and Boxing Day; since the 21st, when I posted that 6 inches blog, I’ve gone down another half inch. Yes, that’s right, one week. I was 46 inches a week ago, and am now just a pinch below 45.5, and no, I can’t get more specific then that because I seem to have this annoying habit of breathing while measuring.

I have already begun reducing my Pepsi intake. In approximately another 19 weeks I should be totally independent of my Pepsico addiction. I was going to go cold turkey, but then I considered the possibility of detoxing. When I brought up the thought of me detoxing from Pepsi to Paul, his only thought was, “geez that sounds like some scary shit, I really don’t want to see that”. So, I’ve decided a de-escalation process would be best. I’ve taken my average consumption a day, and over the next few weeks, will cut one out until I’m down to nothing. Today was one of my 2 can days (as opposed to 3.) No headache. No shakes. Nothing to crazy out of the usual, but typing about Pepsi is really not helping right now. I never really thought about how much I really drank until recently. I didn’t think it was that much, but then again, I suppose that’s what true drug addicts say about their substance abuse also. The bad news continues, hot news agency girl (the New Zealander) …ya, got some more Intel on her. Underage, even by Australian standards... sigh… fail.

Holiday’s being over, I’m doing better. Managed to talk to 2 out of the other 3 turtles plus Andrew, so, that helped. Tomorrow Paul and I are going to a butcher with a “Moo-Map” to show what part of the cow we get Tri-Tip from. I’ve really really been craving Tri-Tip. I think that if I could just get a sandwich, it would help easy my craving for the ocean.

We are apparently going on a road trip in a week or so, in which! Yes… I will get to see the Indian Ocean. Not just the Ocean, the Indian Ocean. First time I will have gotten to see it. (Nairobi, Kenya was to inland for me to see it last time I was in this quadrant of the world).

Oh ya… and I started cooking again. Made individual pizzas last night and fried rice tonight. Pretty decent for having forgotten a few things here and there, nothing major, but enough for me to notice a difference.

I feel this was a fairly un-eventful, uncreative blog entry, though it did start off strong with my great news of progress in the quest for weight loss, so, I will leave you with this awe inspiring quote that ties in with that I am doing down under (which just happen to be said by a famous explore of this land)
