Who Loves You, Jane?

Hey Jane, Gerard loves you. December 28, 2004 apparently will be a day that will be remembered forever.

Gerard is my 15-year-old nephew and Jane is his girlfriend. She is an older woman for him, although he is so much bigger than she that he looks like the one robbing the cradle.

The pair are so in love (or at least he with her), that when I IM him and he is away, the following message appears: "jane i love u so0o much babe* 12.28.04 - 4everr"

I swear he is a very intelligent kid, even though it seems he has little in the way of spelling skills.

What this all means is that he is becoming a man now. I'll only have my ShopRite buddy around for a few more years, then I'll have to rely on others to take his place or (dread the thought) actually go to the food store alone (ughhh! - are you getting the hives, like I am?).

I finally made it back to pilates today. I figured it had been more than a month since the last time I was there, since my friend, Brooke (the instructor), told me her birthday was June 6, and I knew I had not wished her a happy birthday. That means I have not been working out nearly as much as I should.

Rather than watching the diet and getting into a good fitness routine, it seems the route I have taken has been to periodically complain about my inertia via this blog.

Thanks for listening.

Nutrition problems can work in myriad ways. Most of the time (like me) we eat way too much. Sometimes we eat the right amount of stuff, but not the right stuff. Sometimes we eat too little, and other times we just do not have the right idea what we're doing.

It can cause all sorts of different problems, but the one that seems to tie them together is unhappiness. When we have these issues -- long term or short term, it makes us feel worse about ourselves.

I do not think it's superficial. I think it has to do with the way the body chemistry is working in response to the nutrition.

That being said, I cannot seem to keep myself on the wagon forever. I am always looking for the next thing. I can hang my hat on the fact that I have done well with some plans in the past. The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure was tremendous, as was the South Bech Diet. Live Right 4 Your Type made the most sense of all, but I just could never get on a roll with it.

I recently looked for a new version of The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure, but the update came out in 2001. I was really looking for something that has come out more recently.

Damnit, I need to get this part right, and then get into shape and feel good. Like Gerard does. And he loves Jane.
