Back on Track - My Track
Thankfully I seem to have recovered from my ridiculous bout of distraction the other day, and can finally work a bit more efficiently again. These kind of waves come over me every so often, and there really is no use fighting them … I just can’t focus on anything and my mind starts spinning like a Rolodex. Every idea I ever had, everything I ever read, said or heard, everything … they all just line up in my head, put the pedal to the metal, and start dirt-racing through my brain.
Weight? That’s Private
As I wrote a few days ago, my two high schoolers each saw a nutritionist recently. Very different experiences for the two of them.
I went with #1 son to his appointment, while my wife had the pleasure of accompanying #1 daughter to her session. Our daughter had been adamant that she would only see a woman nutritionist (why? No idea whatsoever, it’s the first time she’s ever cared one way or another about gender when it comes to doctors, health care etc).
Nutritional Values
We had a busy week in the OmniScientist household last week, since both of our high schoolers had appointments with nutritionists.
In both cases, they were initial appointments, sort of to get a baseline as to what exactly we need to do to improve their eating habits and get them both to a healthier place in terms of their weight and body mass index. The appointments really could not have been more different.
Family - A Weighty Issue
Sadly, the diet didn’t start the next day, nor the day after that. I just cannot get my head around making sensible food choices, however much I know I should. To make matters worse, my lousy eating habits are matched by those of my wife, and between us we’ve managed to inflict those same horrid patterns on our kids.
Oh that’s right, I haven’t mentioned the family, have I? OK, so here’s a quick digression from what was going to be a “I hate my body but not enough to actually do something about it” post.
What’s Eating Me?
On the assumption that you are what you eat, I thought I’d let you know a little about my usual diet.
Since I was a kid I’ve struggled with my weight, and sadly the struggle continues. I have a pretty sedentary job (more about that in another post perhaps) and I work long hours, so exercise has really never become a habit for me. Most of my efforts to control my weight revolve around my eating habits, which is of course only half the equation. However, I figure it’s at least worth doing what I can.
