sam_gamgeeToday I had one of those moments where I wondered how things in general got the way they are. I had just come home from doing a few things and had let my dog out after I put the groceries inside. When I turned back to her, she was on her back, rolling around in the grass, looking happy as could be. Then she looked up at me as if to say "Please rub my belly," so I did and she had this look like, "Yep, this is it - life is good."

In other news, I lost .6 lbs today. Not much, but it's *something*, so I'm happy. And given that I ate more bad stuff than normal this week and only rode my bike to work one day this week, I'm not very surprised. The fact that in the past three weeks, I've lost 2.6 lbs should be a good indicator that my metabolism is good, if not great, and that if I ate better than I do and excercised more, I'd be well on my way to losing the excess weight. On the upside so far, I've been eating less in general, so I think that's helping a lot. I've just got to push myself to do the rest of it.
And another moment of "why my family's insane, but not in a good way" - when I told my grammy last week that I had lost a pound each last week and the week before, she told me that I should be losing more a week. I told her that a) *at least I'm losing* and b) doctors say that 1-2 lbs a week is the way to go for safe weight loss. *shakes head*

I've been working my way through season 1 of "Torchwood". (I'm now through episode 9 - "Random Shoes".) I like the show a lot. I'm having a tough time with Gwen, though. I'm not sure why, but something about her just puts me off. On the other hand, I like how she interacts with other people. For instance, I like her and Owen together a lot. And I like how she interacts with Jack - she makes him more human, I think.
Also, I'll admit that I was prepared to not like Ianto. From the way people were talking about him, I had the thought of "*pfft* Great. He sounds like a British version of Justin or something." But then I got to meet him and I'm glad I was wrong. I quite like him. :-D
