Get out the whip!

I’ve been a Bad Boy, and need to be disciplined!

I definitely need to get back into the discipline of my diet plan. I thought I was doing so well, having gained a mere two pounds over the December Festive Season. But then I got on the scale again this morning, and was justifiably appalled by what I saw! I won’t tell you what the numbers were, but let’s just say I’ve gone back to being Old, Fat, and Ugly again, and leave it at that.

I know exactly what has been happening… the dreaded Snacking Habit has returned, and with a vengeance it seems. It has to be that, because generally speaking my actual meals have been relatively healthy. I will probably keep a closer eye on the portion size of those, as well as changing my snacking habits. This morning, instead of snacking on crackers, cookies, or mixed treats, I’ve got a nice LITTLE bowl of black cherries and baby carrots. Yes, I know they have sugars in them, which translates to carbohydrates, but they are a little bit healthier than the other crap I have been snacking on of late.

So wish me luck!

In other news, I found this interesting:
Every day the Toronto Police Service Property and Evidence Management Unit acquires seized and found merchandise from across the city. Previously, this merchandise has been sold off periodically at an auction event held at a specific location. Now, the Toronto Police Service in conjunction with eBay.ca are moving their highly successful auctions into your home!

And speaking of eBay.ca, I’m thinking of using it to sell copies of the two chapbooks that I have published: Blue Devils by the Toronto Dark Writers Group; and Buy My Chapbook …one more time by Timothy Carter. If you have any hints, suggestions, or recommendations from your experiences with eBay, please let me know!
