Resulting Insanity with a Plan

Peace.

I’m not going to blog like crazy about this self imposed food restriction. I ain’t. I swear I ain’t. But I have made some goals and had a few experiences in the last 24 hours that I want to share.

First…. I have decided on a loss goal. I ain’t sharing the number because y’all don’t get to be all up in my business like that. No. Not really, Teehee… I’m ashamed of the number and recognize that this must be done in phases. So for the 1st phase I have decided to go half the distance to the 1st goal. That is the short term. And since this is January, I expect to be done with phase 1 by the end of the year. A year is enough time to complete phase 1.

Now. I KNOW some of that weight was cycle weight. Yeah I still have one of those!!!! Because I am 3lbs lighter when I got on the scale this morning. And NO I will not be getting on the scale every day. It was just so disturbing yesterday I had to be sure.

Here is another thing, and this is why I’m so shocked at the weight gain…. My clothes still fit. It’s not like my style is super loose. But I have noticed that my midsection is thickening. Especially in the front. Also, my feet have grown a shoe size. I have been the same shoe size for 30 years. And I have been having headaches, which I only get around my cycle, for over a month now. But my cycles still comes when scheduled. Me and the God have been having a ridiculous amount of unprotected sex. I will take a pregnancy test just to make sure. I would have taken one this morning but I forgot. When you gotta go who is thinking about catching it?

I ate well yesterday, but not nearly enough. I blame yesterday’s and today’s headache on that. I managed to be high raw yesterday. I ate a hard boiled egg and a few chick peas in my big salad. And I shamefully munched on double chocolate covered peanuts while shopping for raw food fixins in the grocery store. Oh well. Baby steps. I did eat breakfast this morning. Kim chi (sp) and crackers. I packed a big salad and some fruit. For dinner I probably will eat some cooked food. Doubles. But I’ll build on that in another post. I’m good today. Let’s see how this holds up. And I won’t be getting back on that evil scale until Monday!



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
