Sleepless And Demented

Sigh...
Who knew - positivity's a bit of a bitch to maintain. Slept badly last night, because I kept turning over what I don't know in my mind. Having gone back to not weighing, and sticking to it, I'm driving myself absolutely mad wondering what I'm weighing. If I tell you that I was tossing and turning, running my hands down the contour of my belly time and time again, trying to judge whether it felt bigger or smaller than last week, and that when I drifted off to dreaming, I woke myself up with dreams of Xenical attacks, I think you'll agree I'm having issues with sublimation of my neuroses.
So, when morning came, and I finally found myself drifting into untormented sleep, I slept hard and long - I didn't end up getting properly out of bed until gone 11.

Today wasn't really a house-progress day, because we pretty much both decided we wanted to go see a movie. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was both a choice and a convenience. Both of us had seen all the original Apes movies, and both of us together had gone to see the Tim Burton/Mark Wahlberg version some years ago.

Neither of us saw the end of the Burton/Wahlberg...effort...because it was just horrible and meandering, and appeared not to give a damn about either characterisation or plot.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes...is not that movie. In fact, I'd go so far as to say, if you're gonna make a 21st century Planet of the Apes movie, this is the way to do it. CGI that barely ever looks like CGI, solid characterisation, a growing sense of tragedy, plenty of tiny, unobtrusive nods to the series' history, and an entirely satisfying ending. Go see it of you're at all tempted, you probably won't be disappointed.

As for the rest of today...did the biking (at least a first session), eaten more fruit than is probably wise, about to have a pasta dinner, and may well take a sleeping pill tonight, to shut my own insanity up. Got quite a big and complex week ahead, with of course, a weigh-in just about 36 hours from now.
