On Apathy:I was working on a bar graph that would visually represent the level of apathy towards staying fit, eating properly, riding, and generally being active (mentally and physically). But. . . I couldn't be bothered. Instead I found the above image instead. It was less time consuming. Meh.
On Being Fat & Tired:
Fatness and slothfulness are at an all time high the past couple of weeks. I'm waiting to recover from having the flue to begin to make changes. While I wait I've been eating and laying on the couch. Whatever.
But change I must! One such change is a visit to a nutritionist. In fact, the other day I put out an e-mail to Ottawa friends who might have experiences and/or recommendations with a nutritionist. The response was overwhelming (thanks to all who responded!). Do I think that they responded because they like me? Hell no! They all think I am fat.
I've been interested in having a nutritional assessment, some testing, and a lifestyle (dietary) plan put in place that will help me maintain a lighter, healthier weight, but also to hopefully boost my immune system and energy levels. Stay tunned.
On Hearsay:
The past few days I've been getting a few e-mails from readers/friends and there have been one or two blog comments wondering about my departure from Misfit Psycles. Let me set the record straight . . . . originally, two or so years ago, Peter and I agreed on a two year stint. Two years are up, I wasn't asked back. There you have it. Simple Dimple. Pimple.
CENTER JUSTIFIED!On Spending Your Money:
I still endorse and recommend a Misfit product to anyone. You should buy one . . . no, you should buy seventy-three point five . . . right now! In fact, as I mentioned last week, a never before diSSent (Fe) review will be posted right here on this here blog. Here, here!
So, there you have it . . . I am presently fat, unmotivated, lethargic, and sponsor'less for next year. The first three I'm working on. The last . . . meh.

Nutrition counselling? I can do that for you.
- No cake
- No booze
- No chips or Doritos
- Lots of veggies
- Fast food / eating out at most once a week; the rest of the time food from scratch (including lunches).
Where's my fee?
I'll sponsor you Rig Ring. I can only offer you high fives and used tubes right now. But if you get results, there might be a Vegan Vagabond t-shirt in your future. Sorry, girl cut only.
For more than a decade my full-time sport of choice was rock climbing. I done it for all of my adult life and knew nothing else. As the years went on I had motivation issues and was not climbing as well as I expected. This occurred along with a career and family transitions, much like yourself. This led to several efforts to "get fit" where I thought "this time for real," but every time it sputtered. Eventually it dawned on me that the weight of all my past experiences was holding me back. What I really needed was a new sport. So when I moved to Ottawa I decided to become a bike racer---in my 30s. I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time and I feel like a total newb at races, but every experience is brand new and exciting---I try to think of it as a Zen beginner's mind.
So maybe you need a new sport or maybe just find your way to that beginner's mind. I know it's unsolicited advice, so don't take what I say too seriously, but I hope it helps. Have fun!
Kim - I need to see some credentials.
VV - holy tubes? that's about what I was getting from Peter. Deal!
Will - thanks for the advice. I agree with you partially . . . a few factors, some I haven't spoke about, for the decline. I'm a seasonal fatty anyway. Don't want to leave riding - love it, just need a kick in the pants! Cheers!
Hmm. I think my "diet" needs a snappy name. The troglodyte diet, I think.
I am a registered troglodytician. Wanna see my card?
Looking forward to seeing you in a girl-cut VV T. Perhaps a costume idea for the Anti-Race?
