Stomache and eating

So my tummy is doing strange things.

I ate a sandwitch today. (and I went out for dessert... we'll see how well that stays down.) Thats it. A sandwitch.

and yes; I did wake up in the am; staying awake all day. I even shoveled the walks; my body's doing a little repair job from the weekends minajerie of fun (just activity, not drinking) and should be starving for wicked awesome food.

And it made me sorta sick to my stomache.

Last night, I was out for dinner with a friend. And we left 1/4 through the meal. Just had everything wrapped up and took off. So strange. I did eat that morning; though I hadn't eaten for almost 24 hours before that.

Thats right... looks like my body is craving less than 1 meal a day.

Maybe there's something in the tea I'm drinking?

The Game

So the internet out in the field doesn't support you tube. Which is good... cause I don't think I would do anything else if I had access to it.

I remembered looking for something and stumbling on this link (hoping to play it but couldn't) and figured you all would love to check it out.

Tell me your thoughts.
(the book's pretty good, it was on last month's "to read" list.)

Diet

My diet has gone from medium to crap over night. Literally not eating anything but meat, bread and pop since I got out here.

Enough of it.

I went to town 2 days ago, bought some vegitables and maybe a little chicken and have been attempting to eat a little healtier.

Its the pop I decided not to drink any more thats hitting me with cravings. I got up 3 times so far tonight to grab a can of whatever I can find. *smile* instead, I've decided to substitute food for pop... I know its not the best for my waist line but still; I have to do something to relieve the cold-turkey I'm feeling from not drinking the 4-5 cans of liquid awesome I'm used to.

catching up

Whats going on you all might be asking!

I was getting alot of readers; some good stories piped out to my wonderful blog... and all of a sudden it all dissapeared.

Well! I've been going through a few personal things, things I don't really know how to share. Never mind knowing if I want to share them.

Maybe I'll try to work from what I can remember now back to the beginning of my motivation loss.

I've identified a few Very Major aspects of my personality; named them 'the Cat' and 'the Wolf'.

And perhaps it sounds strange; but these characters (along with 'me') will be re-occouring througout the next year of posts.

Smile!

Funny thing; I was up in the dog house (off a rig floor is a small shack - often suspended 20+ feet in the air with computers and stuff in it) and the driller - who is usually pretty happy - had a sour look on his face.

The difference between his smile an hour earlier and his frown was something tangeable I could feel.

I've been reading a book about interaction and group dynamics; one of its biggest suggestion to generate friends and rapport - when you walk in a room make sure to smile. That people who smile belong; people who don't smile are uncoumfortable and thus lower on the totem pole.

They say that if you smile (even a fake smile) your body will be tricked into thinking your happy. Like a pavlov's dog situation I guess.

3 good reasons to put a little effort into your face and bust a smile when I don't think you can.
