I climbed today. I made it to the first clip. I know that is meaningless to you, but it is significant to me. It's been a little bit of a goal. Despite what is going on at work, which I won't bother talking about, I've been managing to climb twice a week. I notice such a big difference when I climb twice a week as opposed to once. Anyway, it was my best climb to date.
Other than that, I don't have much to say. I don't want to complain about work so I'm just not saying anything.
It's almost my AA anniversary. 5 years. Wow. December 14th. I'll go home for it - so I can spend it with the people who were there when I first showed up. I can't wait to see them.

14,000 calories I didn't eat
Hi folks. I am back. Sorry for going MIA for a while - I just don't have much to say. I still don't, but I'll try. I didn't really realize how long it has been since I last posted. The only things I have had to say in the past 3 weeks would come out as complaints about my job and I am trying really hard not to write about that. I can tell you though that nothing has changed. In my mind, things are maybe worse. Can't tell really. There is a lot going on there though and I am extremely busy.
I am doing this wacky diet. If you know me in real life just zip it - I know what you are thinking. But I have gained like 15 pounds in the past few years (I think it is a combination of taking medication and sitting on my ass all day). And no, you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at me most likely and yes that means I am probably at a normal weight for my height, but, my preference is to be slightly underweight. I am not going for anorexic looking or anything. I just want to go back down to my preferred weight. So I did this diet for 2 weeks as an experiment just to see what I would lose. I only lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks. I was disappointed. I thought for sure I could get six out of it. But then again I am already pretty thin so it takes longer to lose weight because it doesn't take as many calories to maintain my body weight. I am going for two more weeks to see if I can get 4 more pounds. I admit that I have cheated a little so maybe I would lose a little more if I stop cheating.
And then I thought about it. 3500 calories equals one pound of fat. That means in two weeks I cut 14,000 calories out of my diet. What the hell was I eating before.
