02.09 & 10 - Omega-3 Overload & Chubby Cheeks

I had way too much fish this weekend, it's almost disturbing. I've never been a big fish person. I think it stems from my parents trying to feed me so much of it as a kid and having those stupid fish bones get stuck in my throat. As an adult, I've slowly reincorporated it into my diet, but never as much as I have this weekend. I'm slightly disturbed. But I suppose it's a good thing. Omega-3 fatty acids are supposed to stimulate blood circulation, lower blood pressure, alleviate depression or anxiety, and reduce the risk of stroke. So yeah. Good job, me, I guess.

In other news. I am the biggest procrastinator when it comes to working out. I think it's this horribly cold, messy weather that has eliminated all motivation to go to the gym, but here's something that has suddenly revved up my desire to go: The mother looked at me Sunday morning and, without saying anything, patted her right cheek and then patted her left cheek. Then she very solemly said, "You need to start working out." Ha! My mother has no shame when it comes to discussing my weight. I'll definitely go to the gym Tuesday . . .
