Well, I've got the night to myself at home tonight; Dana is out with the 'girls' having their office Christmas get-together.  I did my second workout... I am so totally out of shape.  The 'dialog' between myself and my virtual fitness trainer went something like this:

• Maya:  "So, how was that?"
• Me:  "AAAGHH!  I can't feel my legs!!  OHHH the humanity!"
• Maya:  "Ok.  Workouts aren't meant to be impossible, so I'll make these easier next time.
• Me:  "Oh good."
• Maya:  "Oooh, actually... I can't really do that because that *was* the easiest setting.  Well, just do as much as you can for now, don't get frustrated if you can't do the whole movement.  It'll get easier with practice."
• Me:  *cries*

All in all, though, I don't feel too bad *now*, so I guess it was ok.  I already want to see how tomorrow goes, so that's sort of like looking forward to it.

I did use the deep-fryer (probably my biggest weakness health-wise) tonight, but even that I tried to do better.  Normally I would have had two fish sandwiches and like 24 tater-tots, but tonight I made myself only one sandwich, more like 16 tater-tots, and had some baby carrots with it.  I still got full, but with just over half the fried stuff.  For dessert, instead of ice cream, I think I'll have some Frosted Flakes.  Those things are great. ;)

I also did most of the dishes until the drainer got full, so Dana won't have that to come home to.  I decided I'm kind of taking over that chore just because I don't mind it and I know that's her least favorite household chore.  I'll work on the rest tomorrow and that should catch us all up.  The way Dana is, the hard part is going to be convincing her to play along and let me do it.  She told me yesterday "not to worry about those dishes", and I think I did that, since never once did I feel the least bit concerned for their welfare.

Anyway, what with doing some things for my health, to better myself, and then doing some stuff to make myself feel more useful around the house, I'm feeling a little bit proud of myself.  Now all I have to do is keep it up, and maybe I won't feel so much like I'm just the baggage around here.  Wish me luck!  :D
