Hmm...

So I’ve been logging my diet/exercise process with this cool iPhone application called “Lose It!” though it should be renamed as “This Is How Much Weight You Keep Gaining Back!” because I don’t know how much it has helped. It logs way less calories burned than what the gym machines tell me, but I can’t tell which one is the liar. I like to think it’s my iPhone, based on the fact that the less weight you lose, the longer you’ll use the application…right?

Anyway, I was looking for the various exercise activities that I could log (like breathing, eating, sitting, napping–seriously, ANYTHING to keep that calorie number down) and came across this. And I blushed.

Sexual activity? Does that really burn enough calories to matter? Isn’t it different for girls and guys? Doesn’t it vary with positions? Only 10 calories for a half hour? That can’t be true! And the longest amount of time you can log is 55 minutes. What if you do the whole Tantric thing?

3 Berry Pie

This is the berry pie I baked on Monday night for my dad. Unfortunately, I am on an actual diet where I cannot eat any sweets so I was not able to even TASTE this baked good. Since I didn’t get to, that meant B couldn’t either and my mom whisked it away whole the next morning.

Next time, I’ll be sure to use more blueberries, raspberries and blackberries because there weren’t enough from the 3-pack we got at the Farmer’s Market for a complete filling. I was worried the pie would look all deflated by the time it came out of the oven, but I was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to puff up instead. I need to work on my crust edges though; I don’t understand how other people can make theirs all pretty and perfect.

I want pie so bad.

Diets are awful. This is the longest I’ve ever gone without a yummy, sugary snack all to myself.

I almost want to cry when I think about it (really hard).
