Wednesday, 1 December 04 :: FINALLY!

the past month or so i've been eating like its going out of style. eating everything in my path. and gaining weight. too much weight. for awhile i just let my body do its thing, but then i began to get a little horrified that my body's thing seemed to be determined to get itself back to where it was pre-baja.

no no no no no.

last week i decided to start doing combat with my body's need to consume large amounts of sugar based material. i went out and bought juice pops, sugar free jello and fat free, sugar free pudding. we (my body and i) went through that stuff in a weekend. not good, but better than going through a half gallon of ice cream and a bag of hershey's chocolate nuggets.

this week i notched it up a rung. i went and got sugar free chocolate--- hershey's kisses, reese's cups, and sweet 'n low coffee candy. (and some juice pops, love the breyer's juice pops). well, the sugar free chocolate doesn't taste that great, and the coffee candy-- hahahahahaha- gives my body gas (take that body and your cravings!).

the last few days i've not eaten nearly as much. see, my body knows that if it decideds to stop eating in such great amounts, and if it sheds the pounds i just gained, that it can get the real stuff, but in smaller quantaties.. and i know it wants the real stuff, cause i gave it some last night and me, oh my, it just loved it. it wanted more, but i was having none of that, so i gave it the sugar free kisses instead... hahahahahahaha.. take that!

it appears that *i* am winning.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
