Cause I can't sleep
Stayed out late on Saturday and STILL haven't quite gotten back to my usual rhythm. Yeah, I know, staying up late night after night isn't going to help, either. 
From my friend Raspberry Cordial:
From my friend Raspberry Cordial:
On your own blog, copy and paste these questions, fill in your own
answers where mine are and then leave a comment on my blog saying
you've done so. In your own post, ask those who read your blog to then
answer the same questions on their own blog, leaving a link/heads
up in your comments as well to let you know who has responded in kind.
Let's get to know each other!
1) What ritual do you have to de-stress?
Mental/emotional stress, I prefer to lose myself in a favorite book. Physical stress (like driving home from work in a blizzard on glaze ice roads, yuck!) I need a hot, HOT shower or soak in the tub.
2) First thing you do when you get up for the day?
3) Last thing you do before going to bed?
Usually either read a little, watch a little TV or "snuggle" with hubby. 
4) Are you a Cat or Dog person?
Mostly cat. Cats are nice and low-maintenance, funny and occasionally snuggly. I like dogs, and there's nothing quite like a dog's selfless devotion, but we haven't found the perfect one for our home yet.
5) Favourite television show?
Currently on the air: Scrubs. Of all time: Friends!
6) Favourite movie?
Demolition Man, with Miss Congeniality, Legally Blonde, Empire Records and 50 First Dates all tied for second. 
Yeah, I love dumb movies!
Yeah, I love dumb movies! 7) Favourite form of exercise?
Horseback riding. And yoga. I wish I were more diligent about doing both every day.
8) Favourite weekend activity?
no such thing as weekends in my life these days! Honestly, I have no good answer for this question.
9) Favourite healthy meal?
Meh. Don't really have one at the moment. Applebees had a grilled chicken sandwich that was awesome, but it's not on their menu right now.
EDIT: I thought of something! I
steak or chicken fajitas. Whole wheat tortillas, fresh peppers and onions, lean protein, pico de gallo or salsa, a smear of FF sour cream and a sprinkle of RF cheese...heaven.

Sweet: Reeses Pieces or chocolate-covered raisins. Savory: Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
11) I am most proud of...?
that I never do things halfway. Once I start a task, I do whatever is necessary to complete it to the best of my ability. Now to figure out how to apply that quality to bigger-picture efforts!
12) I am least proud of...?
my lack of discipline, in a number of areas of my life. I know this sounds contradictory to my answer above, but it's not. If I decide to exercise, I give 110% for that 30 or 60 minutes. But I'm not consistent about it.
13) I chose to start a blog on EP because...?
Good question. Off the top of my head I have no idea, and if I think too hard about it I'll probably conclude that it's all a big waste of my time, or something, so I'm just not going to answer this one.
14) Three blogs on EP that I read on regular basis are...?
Gettinfit, Rasberry Cordial and...everybody else on my friends list. 
I love that Friends Updates box!

Hmmm...gut reaction is to say "weight" because, don't we all want that? But I think in the long run I'd be a happier person if I had that discipline I was talking about earlier. 
Then I'd be able to acheive the body I desire AND so many other personal goals!
