An Eating Epiphany I had my first Krispy Kreme donut today. I'm in trouble. There isn't a Krispy Kreme outlet within 1,000 kilometers of here, but one of our staff just flew in from a store in Quebec and brought a box of Krispy Kremes with him for all of us to try. Oh my. Okay, this box of donuts has been in transit for hours, and yet it is still the freshest, tastiest donut I've ever had. I don't like cake donuts for the most part, but this... oh my. I was fine after one. It was good, I was satisfied. Then I walked past the box and saw only two left. I grabbed one. I ate it. Now I want more. My stomach has found something it truly desires. It's like it's become my stomach's One True Love after only two tastings. This is NOT good. Rumor has it there will be some Krispy Kreme outlets coming our way in the early months of 2004. Tim Horton's is in so much trouble. Being a Canadian icon only gets you so far. I don't normally whine here about my weight, but I'm getting awful sick of being so big. We can't afford a gym membership, and, unless it's real convenient, I'll totally slack off on it. Plus the motivational trick of 'if you're paying for it, you'll use it'? Nope. Totally failed me. We have a gym here at work, but I'm struggling against this internal flow of laziness that's throwing up tons of excuses in front of me. I don't have time in the day. It's too inconvenient to come in early or stay late, and it's probably packed then anyway. I don't have the right clothes for the gym. Blah blah blah. I know it's all in my head, but I can't seem to break that cycle. What I'd really like is something good to work out on at home. An elliptical trainer or treadmill that I can plonk in the living room and exercise while watching TV or something. In the short period of time I had my World Health membership, I found the distraction of the TV enabled me to actually complete my cycle without wimping out early. It was great! It's got to have enough little widgets and gizmos to enable my inner geek, but still be something we can pack away when folks drop by. You know? Of course, we can't afford any of that nonsense. Hey, if the family wants to pool funds and get me a decent exercise machine, go nuts folks. I'd like that over nearly anything else. I know what it will really take to turn around this trend. Willpower. But I don't have a lot, especially when it comes to changing my sedentary ways. But I've got to find something. I can't continue this way. Certainly not when Krispy Kreme hits town.
Ryan O. got the boot, which makes some sense, as he is a big threat. But what I want to know is why everyone is turning on Rupert? He is a tough damn competitor, I grant you, and stands a hell of a good chance in the final vote if he gets that far. I just hope he keeps winning immunity. My picks for this week. Man. I'm hoping the teaser is misleading, because once again it looks bad for my man Rupert. I'm still hoping the worm will turn and Jon will be the next gone. In fact, I'm calling for it! Joooooooon! You're a loooooooser! Get off my island! In Ancient Times...
