Getting my (fat) butt into gear

After a recent dip into a mood slump that I was terrified was going to turn into another depressive episode (and in true depressive fashion I had convinced myself *was* another major depressive episode) I made up my mind that I needed to get healthier.

A few days ago, I spent too much money on things like *gasp* a scale and *gasp* a food scale, and a few cooking gadgets to make cooking more easy/pleasant/fun (grating carrots and zucchini is more fun when you have a BRAND NEW GRATER, etc, and now OMG I HAVE A MANDOLIN SO EXCITED). I weighed myself for the first time in like a year and set myself some realistic long and short term goals and started keeping track of everything I ate in private journal posts (private because while I'll probably post a few recipes as I go, I doubt anyone *really* wants to hear how many dates went into my salad).

I'd like to say I'm focused more on health and mood improvement than weight, but the first thing I've got to do to improve my health and mood *is* lose some of this weight.

Other than an upset stomach this morning (whether from the diet change or the fact I had milk yesterday I'm not sure) and a distressing tendency to stare over my laptop at the kitchen, come about ten o'clock at night, everything is going very well so far.

Four pounds down, yo. *airpunch* This is rather unscientific, considering it's been only a few days, but whatever, I'm taking what I can get.

fic update

Finished writing something I've been working on for a while. Eeeeeee I'd almost forgotten how good it felt. I've been in such a slump! 

Waiting for beta on that one, later, so I'm going to go try and tackle something else for a bit. PORN TIME! 

(and yes, shiny_glor_chan , the thing I finished is for Kings Among Runaways. I am heading you off, lol.)
