Sheepy

So, I have a new laptop because my previous laptop is nearly five years old. It still works and is a good machine, but it just isn't keeping up like it needs to in my busy school life. This one is the same brand, but a sleeker and faster model with three times the storage capacity on the hard drive. I barely took up an eighth of the space on the last one. I'm not sure what I will do with all the space on this one. I'll find out, I guess.

I went shopping tonight to buy fruits and veggies and generally better-for-me food. I'm hoping this works and I start to make better choices. I've never been good at tricking myself to eat better food, because I know I'm tricking myself, and I'm too smart to outsmart myself. It's very existential, these conversations I have with myself, "Hey, this is a better choice! We can freeze grapes and they taste just like healthy candy!" "Yeah? Healthy candy is an oxymoron and doesn't exist. Let's just go eat real candy and be happy." "Okay." That's how it goes. Currently, there are no candy or cookies or cake or any other tempting foods in my apartment. Well, unless you count the two month old package of Oreos I never ate. I keep forgetting to throw them out. Stale Oreos probably taste just like they sound.

I've been figuring out the points values on all the foods I ate today. I'm proud of myself, because I tracked it all in my little stupidsmartphone app they give you for free at WW if you sign up to pay all this money a month because it's the best value ever and you lose more weight if you do all this stuff they say to do. Yeah. I ate all my points, and only went over by 3. That's not so bad considering all the meals I ate today were restaurant food. And we get those extra 49 points per week. I'm still trying to figure out the points value for this post-nasal drip my allergies have turned on. I think I'll ask at my next meeting.

Now, it's bed time. Right after a hot and relaxing shower.
