February 24, 2009

I realized it's been a while since I posted anything, so I thought I'd just drop by and put in an update. So far, Weight Watchers is going well - I've lost 8 pounds. Not bad, especially considering I still haven't been exercising like I should. I'm going to start soon, I swear. Talking with a counselor every week has been, well, interesting, I guess. I've started to realize that I can be very negative about myself, and that I tend to ignore my feelings a lot. I'm not quite sure how to fix that, but it's only been a few weeks, so hopefully I'll gain more insight and some knowledge of how to fix things in the coming months.

I've been reading a lot, after not reading much at all in January. I've finished a couple of P.D. James' mysteries, a biography of George Washington, another Discworld novel, Coraline by Neil Gaiman (more of a kids' book, really, but the movie looked intriguing and I wanted to read it before I see the movie), and now I'm working on Arabian Nights. I've enjoyed all of them, although the George Washington bio was a little slow starting out and I didn't really get into it until close to halfway through it. I think I'm going to try to go see the movie Coraline sometime this weekend. It doesn't look like it follows the book, but I'm hoping it will still be good. I'm not sure what possessed me to pick up Arabian Nights, except that I was buying some other Barnes & Noble classics, and they were buy two get one free or something like that, so I picked it up as my free one, since I've never read it. I'm enjoying it, but it can get confusing, keeping up with all the stories within stories within stories.

Anyway, I don't really have much to say, so I guess that's it for now.
