And...

Shoes are here!

And holy crap they are light.  Like, really light.

Gonna just go out with them tomorrow and see how they feel in everyday use.

Also DLed a couple TV seasons for my iPod.  Something different and lightweight to play while working out: Search for the Next Elvira and Who Wants To Be A Superhero?

Anyhow, I'm gonna watch a bit of TV.  And then watch Hall Pass.  Because I need something funny.

Later.

Still no shoes...

Dude at Foot Locker said seven days.  It's been nine.

Maybe he meant business days.  Or maybe the Nike Free Runs are harder to find in clown size.

Just finished day one of the GNC 2-Day Body Cleaning Program.  Immediately after the first dose, I got a major case of the boom-boom-squishy-squishies.  Now I have the farty gas.

Yes, I know I'm the king of TMI.

Anywho, I can't wait to get the new shoes so I can go back to working out.

BTW, I entered my screenplay into a contest.  I'll find out the results in November.  Next paycheck, I'll have enough to enter it into another...::fingers crossed::

Okay.  Gonna relax.

Good night.

I'm waiting...I'm waiting...

So...

Still no shoes...

Hopefully they'll be here soon.

I don't wanna go to the gym with my old ones, because I think they helped contribute to my gout flareup.  They're so worn down that they're practically tie-up slippers.

C'mon shoes...get here...

Later.

Another "moment of clarity," or something...

This gout is the worst flareup I've had in three years.

I was around this weight three years ago.

And my diet was just as shitty.

Because of my lifestyle, I ended up losing around $260 this past week.  $150 in lost wages from calling out.  Another $110 in doctor visits/meds.

This has to stop, dammit.

I took today to make a step.  Not necessarily a complete overhaul, but a step.

Half a sandwich instead of a whole for lunch.  Grilled chicken and rice from Chili's instead of Chicken Crispers and double fries.

Also ordered some new shoes.  Nike Free Runs.  They oughta be here by next week.  My feet will have more support and I'll feel better when I exercise.  Hence, I'll be better equipped to bring Sexy Back.

Okay.  Lemme get this last piece of my screenplay reworked before the Wednesday deadline.

Later.

Back from doc...

Got a bunch of prescriptions.  My foot should be better in a couple days.

Also got a painkiller.  First time I've ever been prescribed one for this.  Yeah.  It's that bad.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna conk out.

To the doc...

Going to the doc tomorrow.  My foot is throbbing.  Practically has its own heartbeat.

Gonna end up missing 12 hours of work because of this crap.  Something new has to happen.

Doesn't help matters that I haven't had caffeine of any kind in two days.  And on Sunday I had two NOS energy drinks.  That's like a massive eight ball before going to rehab.

Kill me.

Well, not really.  Just cut off my foot.

BLARRGH

No gym lately.  Last week I felt like crap.  Today I'm having a gout flareup that's driving me to the moon.

Gonna probably try to detox myself again sometime soon.  At least get the diet back on track.

I need to do something.  Crappy diet and sedentary lifestyle is turning me into a total bitch box.  When my foot gets better and my work schedule lines up again, it's off to the gym.

Okay.  Propping my foot up.  Maybe try to add this scene I feel my screenplay needs before turning it in to Screamfest.

Later.
