Enough!

Today is a much better day. Though I need to put this out there. I am struggling to eat all this damn food! I’m going to get a candy bar or a gas station brownie on the way home to make my point total. I know all the food is supposed to increase my metabolism, but who has the time for all the chewing that goes into eating all these damn vegetables or all this damn fruit that has low or no point values? My boss is giving me the fisheye because every time he looks over my shoulder there is me with something in my mouth. Minds out of the gutter please. I know obese people who say they don’t eat much and then cook an entire pack of bacon for themselves, but that aint me. I really don’t eat like that. I eat 1 real meal a day and snack the rest of the day. I suppose it’s the snacks that are doing me in…..

As far as how I’m feeling today, it’s a much better day. My tongue has a little coating on it, but that’s it. No headaches, no nausea, no nothing. I drank all that god forsaken water early. There is an apple on my desk that needs to be eaten because I already took it off my points. I really think yesterday’s unpleasantness has something to do with all the bread and cheese I ingested. I have noticed over the last few years that me and bread and me and cheese weren’t all that great friends anymore. Actually me and a lot of things are parting company. I’m just hoping when I get to the other side of this thing, that I’m not walking around all slung out with hunger the entire day. It took me a minute to get to the point where I wasn’t a-hungered all day.

Next week I’m either adding vitamins or exercise. But it won’t be both. We shall see….


Peace

Peace Queen,
This was interesting. I use to be a vegan for about Build years (no junk snacks, soda nada). I gained more weight during that time in my life than ever before, a bit less exercise during that time though. But Over the past few years I went back to poultry, 3 meals a day, exercise and word bond I'm in the best shape of my 29 years. I was also reading the last blog about your knees too. Depending on the pain fish oil is good, and w/exercise and stop the snacks I bet in a week you would see a difference.

Peace God!

I like what you have said. Folks do not believe that I have not eaten meat in 9 years when they look at me. And I'm not a 'starchatarian' anymore either. I am personally offended that my weight is an issue at this juncture but I suppose we all have our crosses to bear.

Peace

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to
