January 4, 2010

     Time to admit it:  I'm probably trading one "addiction" for another.  Last year, the addiction that I traded was smoking for the ever-popular Farmville.   When I tell people that Farmville helped me quit smoking, they usually give me one of "those" looks...yeah, ok, right.  I did Farmtown too -- yes, I had two lovely farms.  Actually, there were three farms because Farmtown had a second farm that supported my other farm. 
     Why did I need to support one farm with another farm?  Because I turned one of the farms into a beach community...I mean, what else do you do with an extra farm?  But this really isn't about farming...this is about trading "addictions."  Notice, of course, the quotations.  I think that means that I don't really think it's an addiction but it probably is.
     Anyway, I might be trading Farmville for something new: Netflix on Wii.  This is set up in my basement where I have my gym equipment from when I used to be a gym owner.  Hey, that's a good thing.  My current viewing pleasure is picking up where I left off with Nip Tuck.  Holy Moly.  How did they get away with putting that show on tv?  I almost have to stop myself from working out...I'm transfixed.  Not a bad trade-off, I think.  Farmville for Netflix. 
     Now to the point of this blog (for me).  Today was Day 4 of the diet.  Once in a while I have a craving for chocolate, but other than that, this is not bad.  I already feel that my jeans are not spray-painted to my butt and there's actually room for simple things, like breathing.
     (There are a lot of butt shots on Nip Tuck.)
     Today's workout: 1 mile with the dogs, 3 miles on the treadmill.

     I have to check out my mileage.  Let me know how you're doing. 

    Tomorrow's Wednesday !   Will there be snow for the weekend?
