I hate pancakes, but I love me some pie.

superbadgirlSomeone here bought a giganto bag of pancake mix from Costco and fixes herself a few every day for breakfast. Every. Day. People are free to eat what they want. The problem is I loathe pancakes, and the stench of them wafts up the servants' stairs and right into my office. I'm left gagging and retching. Yes, I hate pancakes that much.
If I were an elected official, I'd try very hard to ban pancakes. Or at least ban pancake breakfast fundraisers put on by the local Jaycees.
Health and fitnessy:
The mini-elliptical is actually working out quite well. It took me four sessions on it before I had to up the tension, though, so I wonder if I'll reach a threshold pretty quickly. It still sucks that I sweat so much for so little gain, but my knees love me for this purchase. Life pre-elliptical had me in pain going up and down stairs. I still crackle, but I no longer hurt. This is a huge benefit.
So, I've been diligent about using the machine and am up to 40 minutes on it. I also make sure I do yoga at least four times a week, and I'll go for a long, brisk walk on Saturday or Sunday to change it up just a little.
I've seen no physical appearance benefits. It's only been two weeks, though, and I struggle with the food. Someone brought me an individual apple pie last weekend, and since then I've been pie crazy. Mmmmm, I thought, look at that little pie tin. I'll recycle it by using it over and over and over as I make fresh peach pie, oh, hey, I wonder if I could make a blueberry pie, or what about a peach/blueberry pie?! Oh, the places I'll go!
Diet FAIL. Those little pies must hover around 600 calories, which is more than I burn exercising in a day. I need to stop with the pies.
Mmmmm, pie.
