minor victory
Although I may be unemployed and living with my parents and geographically trapped in rural Wisconsin, I have lost 20 lbs from my workout plan, aptly named “Walk/run 20 miles a week, lift some weights and eat baby carrots as your main snack food”. First time I weighed myself the scale read 233 lbs in late May, and today it said 213 lbs. I feel a bit like a cheater since there’s probably a lot of food/water weight in that equation, but hey real results!
Tangential but whatevs: Here’re some of my running jams:
- They Might Be Giants, “We Want A Rock” (like multiple times per session)
- Dirty Projectors, “Stillness Is The Move”
- Brian Eno, “Here Come The Warm Jets”
- Mission of Burma, “Academy Fight Song”
- Crystal Castles, “Insectica”/“Seed”/“Mother Knows Best”
- The Wake, “Plastic Flowers”
- Talking Heads, “A Clean Break (Let’s Work) [live]”
- Fuck Buttons, “Flight Of The Feathered Serpent”
When I first played “Warm Jets” it had been like a year since I last heard that song, so it hit me right in the gut and made my eyes tear up in one of those unexpected oh-god-what-is-wrong-with-me kind of ways. It was weird.
