Dinner was vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Yep I am so aware of how not good of a dinner that was. But it tasted good.

march 24

I think that I am just going to resign myself to sleeping in on mondays and tuesdays with my man. He seems to like it and I know I do.
Slept in this morning but once up had a cup of tea and two pieces of toast with butter.
Having mint tea and water right now. I was think about the pizza thing and what I came up with as an image harkend back to when I was first pregnant. One of the things I liked about being preggers was the sense of fullness that I had. And during taht time I had a lot of cheese sandwiches on thick and fluffy bread. After I gave birth I was very dismayed by how empty I felt. And that was not just a figurative thing as Timony was an 11 pound baby. I was very empty. One of the things I found myself doing was eating thick and fluffy bread to fill myself back up. I think Pizza still has that role in my life- at least the deep dish kind.
Lunch was 1/2 of a order of tofu with garlic sauce and 32 oz of water.
dinner is Arancini de Riso and steamed asparagus. will have a glass of milk as well
did have ice cream tonight with fudge sauce mmmm
But on the plus side made it through the day only drinking ***1*** can of mt dew!

Dinner was a bowl of soup with a home made spinach ravioli, and a bowl of mushroom risotto. I picked out as many mushrooms as I could. A bunch of gouda cheese and some grapes. I drank just tons of water as I was at 9000 feet and not inclined to dehydrate

Sunday I was up at 5:00 again the wind was too much so I crawled back into my sleeping place until 7:00.
breakfast was a bowl of rice pudding a some more cheese and two mt dews. I had a nasty bad head ache and so drank much water and a glass of oj.

Dinner was 4 pieces of cheese pizza- what the heck was up with that? Not sure but it was tasty and felt like just the right thing to eat. of course it was too much.

march 19

even though I try on a regular schedule to get up at 5:00am, I was up this morning at 3:30- that extra hour and 1/2 seemed obscenely too early. I had to get Timony to the airport by 5:15. I did end up having two strawberry poptarts and a glass of milk. I also had a mt dew on the drive home.
Then I crawled back into bed and over slept. Woke up and jumped into a shower and scarfed a couple lettuce wraps and another mt dew. That will through me off for the day. :( I have been wobbling on my soda resolution lately. Will have to really work on that. I have reason to want to work on it. I put on a shirt I bought a couple years ago and hadn't worn much lately. Usually it gets caught on my tummy and I have to pull it down to it's regular length. But today it slid over me belly and went to it place all nice like. That was very thrilling.
Had a cup of tea and multi vitamin and now am buzzing along happily. ]
Not sure what lunch will be but will make sure I drink some water to offset the over caffeination.

now I am trying yo back fill this blog and have NO CLUE as to what I had for dinner this night.

Up early and sewed the towels that came off the loom yesterday.

breakfast was oatmeal with butter and milk and brown sugar. I had a glass of cranberry juice.
rode into work this morning! I packed my water bottle and tea cup!
So now I am enjoying my am cup of tea. mmmm peppermint.

Whoa- so where did the rest of the day go? I have no idea now what all happened the rest of this day. I think I might have made sukiyaki for dinner but recall not being hungry for dinner until much later.

march 16

started up bright and shiny at 5:00 water and weaving
then took my shower and snuggled into bed with sleeping husband. That was a mistake- well not a mistake as I enjoyed the extra sleep with him but did get the rest of my morning off bumpy. I was about 15 minutes late for work. Left my water bottle and tea cup at home. :(
I have had a bagel with cream cheese and a mt dew for breakfast
lunch was a lettuce wrap with brown rice and tofu and a multi vitamin.
ended up having a total of three mt dews today- phooey
dinner was left overs and the nice thing about that is I tend not to over eat.
I played a couple games of tennis on the wii- which is fun and funny as I really am pretty darn crappy at time. I actually swung into the bookcase for the first time and really understood the warnings they give at the beginning of each and every game.

march 14 & 15

Spent most of saturday reading with little nibbles through out the day. I made popcorn, had a couple slices of baguette with brie cheese, an orange, couple glasses of water and of cranberry juice. I did have two glasses of coke. Watched a couple episodes of next gen curled up in my hunny's arms.
Sunday was regular work stuff. I made cookies for next weekends event. Anise seed and meringues. I also made colcannon for dinner and even served corned beef to those in the house who eat corned beef. went shopping and started laundry. Realized that I should dust occasionally.
I also used the wii to bowl and play tennis. Now people laugh about the wii being any good for fitness but I broke a sweat playing tennis. so I guess it does get me up and moving. I should also not that the computer kicked my hiney at tennis.
I know my life is not the stuff of high drama right now- And I am so Okay with that.
Weather looks like it will be great this week so I can ride my bike in. I am asking me mum for bike bags for my birthday as that will eliminate one of the issues I have with carrying different clothes.

march 13th

up at five but really wanted to sleep- weaving with water to drink and I cracked a can of mt dew. that was when I realized that I had had four of the insidious drinks yesterday. so I did take a few sips from the can but mostly drank water.
Breakfast was swiss cheese sandwich and a glass of milk. I find myself longing for ham lately. No other meat, just ham. I will make sure I take my multi vitamin today.
bringing my lettuce/tofu wrap for lunch today.
Tonight is d&d and I am sure I will make some kind of snack food stuff- I am thinking artichoke dip- hot and garlicy might be helpful for the cold. Then tomorrow I can sleep in all day. In fact I think I will plan to block out the day from doing too much of anything.

march 12

up early had water and cup of tea
rice and tofu wrap for breakfast with more water
had another cup of tea and am now drinking a mtdew
lunch is a black bean pastie, multi vitamin and water
tonight is a scrounge night penne ala vodka left overs
grrrr to me- I had 4 mt dews today and a tea-grr grrg rgrr
I am feeling a bit down with a cold and I guess I just thought that the soda would wake me up. What I should probably do is stay home and sleep- but will I? not so much. I will try to be very cognizant of what I drink tomorrow and take a couple extra tea bags of lemon ginger with me to work.

march 11

Up at 5- yippee- it was a hard fight for me to get out of bed but i did and I had water with my weaving.
7:00 1/3 cup brown rice, 1/4 tofu 1tablepsoon peanut sauce, 3 lettuce leaves and more water.
put on a pair of jeans that have been sort of my running weight gauge lately and sadly they are not as loose as they have been. I can still get them off without unbuttoning them but I have to do this wiggle. but I have been eating a bunch of crap this weekend and week.
had a cup of tea
lunch was a swiss cheese sandwich and a small bag of b-b-q potato chips.
had a can of mt dew and am now drinking some water.
Dinner tonight is black bean pasties, garlic green beans and milk. I am making extra for a friend who just got out of surgery.

march 10

THEN ate a bowl of penne ala vodka and more milk
I was so full- I have been full since sunday.
I think I am going to try a fast on the weekend. Me and fasting don't do well when I have to actually think.

march 9th

Had a crap night of sleep. I almost am getting worried that the nights that Jim is home I am having troubles sleeping. It is almost like I have to get used to him in the bed again and I am super sensitive to any of my movements. I worry I will disturb him. He also has that same concern, that he will disturb me. SO I did not get up early- did not have water. Feels like I am pulling my limbs through mud. Which has the effect that I want to drink more caffeine to shake the muzzy headed feeling from me.
Breakfast was two piece of swiss cheese on a roll and mircowaved for a minute. can of mt dew.
Here at work having another mt dew -yes already. I am frustrated at myself for drinking it but can not pull my head out.
I did not pack a lunch so will probably have a yogurt as I have a couple here at work. and I am looking forward to having a light meal after yesterdays crazy foodness.
Lunch was a blueberry yogurt
We are having dinner with a couple of friends at a chinese restaurant tonight.
I hate the time change. I wonder if that is also a part of my feeling thick. It also means that the sun won't be up as far yet for a bike ride into work. We are supposed to have snow tonight so maybe that will answer that problem for a week at least. Then by next week it will be up earlier and all will be right with the world.
Dinner was nice- ended up talking for about three hours.

March 7 &8

Saturday was a good day- pretty much typical for what I normally do. Ate well had plenty of water. Now sunday was a very different beast. Started ok but around 4 went to pot. I went to a frineds house to play wii with them and they had all sorts of wonderful bad for me food, pizza snacks, jalapenos poppers, vege eggrolls, vegetables and hummus, I made little french bread pizza thingys, soda. I will take some comfort in the fact that I don't eat like that every day and nothing had been re-deep fried.
We had a lot of fun and laughed a bunch. I brought my wiimotes and so four of us could bowl at a time. It was fun and nice not to have the weight of the actual ball.

march 6th

Up at 5 wasn't really thirsty so had a tea cup of water.
Breakfast was a couple lettuce wraps and a glass of tea. Now even though i really wanted a mt dew I went with tea instead. You might think- tea has caffeine so what is the big deal. And Yes tea does have caffeine but but nearly as much as mt dew or as much sugar.
Lunch is a big green salad with tomatoes, blue cheese dressing and a smattering of baco-bits. I do get a craving for that fakin bacon flavor now and again. Will have more water and tea. I did have a mt dew this afternoon and I am trying hard to keep it at one. just one.
Oh the irony- so I did only have mt dew all day! Yeah me! But and here is the ironic part, when I got home I was hungry and nothing was satisfying me. I munched on some popcorn from the night before. While it tasted good I still felt hollow. We had chinese take away for dinner. I got tofu with garlic sauce- again good but not filling. Then Timony shared her Lo mein noodles- I ate about half of them. I don't know if it was the taste or the texture but they felt right. Very reminiscent of ramen I suppose. But also hit the -ah yes I am not full spot. Of course by the time that was tripped I had eaten way too much. phooey

march 5

I had a very hard time waking up this morning but eventually I drug myself out of bed. No weaving or water. I think I like having deadlines as I feel that I am much more driven if I know it has to be done.
breakfast was 2 leaves of lettuce, 1/3 brown rice, 1/4 cup tofu, 1tsp peanut sauce and some cilantro. I really really am grooving on having this in the am. I was sort of reluctant to try it but it is more satisfying than I thought it would be and tasty!
Had a cup of rose tea with too much sugar and 8oz of water. I rode my bike in today and got stopped by a train. That took the steam out of my ride and man-o-man I was wishing I had driven in. It was beautiful but I was having a hard time on the last stretch. The wind has picked up and I have gusts up to 60 miles per hour to look forward to. As long as it blows east/ south east I will be happy and probably will make excellent time.
Lunch was a cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mayo. I had two mt dews. One before and one after lunch. 8oz of water
I had an extra soda before my ride home. I told myself I was fortifying for the ride. I think I tell myself stuff I want to hear sometimes.
Dinner was 2 lettuce wraps- I think that they have taken the place of ramen- what a great thing.
16 oz of water.
Ended up making popcorn so had a bunch of popcorn with butter and nutritional yeast. Also had 24 oz of water

march 4

up at 5:00 water by my side I only drank about 16 oz this morning as I spilled the rest and spent most of the morning cursing as I had to clean it up.
7:00 oatmeal with milk and butter
cup of tea around 9:00
mt dew at 10:00
figuring out what for lunch
Lunch was 2 pieces of cheese pizza and a mt dew. And oh yes it tasted good.
16 oz of water in the afternoon
Dinner was UFO's ( biscuit dough around brown rice and black beans) cauliflower and cheese sauce. I had two helpings of the cauliflower and manage to eat about 2/3rd of my UFO. Timony ran off with the rest of mine, smothered it in cheese sauce and eat it up with glee.

march 3

Started the morning nearly on time. 5:30 got my big loom all warped up and ready to weave on. But, here is the funny part, I have to warp up the little n downstairs instead. I am taking a weaving class at the end of March and will need it empty in time to warp up before the class. So the project must be on and done soon. If I get it done with plenty of time I will not warp anything back up on it. That will be hard for me.
Anyway breakfast was two lettuce leaves, 1/3 cup brown rice, 1/4 cup tofu 1/4 cup salsa and about the same of shredded cheese. The cheese makes it too much I think. I am going to just have to do some more experiments with it all. Big glass of tea with breakfast.
Rode my bicycle into work this morning and the wind was not my friend. Having 32 oz of water right now with a mt dew chaser
lunch was tofu and garlic sauce with rice and more water.
Did have another mt dew this afternoon
Dinner was 2 slices of cheese, a pickle and lettuce leaf with a small amount of mayo

march 2

Jim home today so I lingered in bed. Love those mornings and also have a smidge of guilt with them as I feel so unproductive.
Breakfast was 1/3 cup of brown rice, 1/4 cup stir fried tofu, 3 pieces of lettuce, 1 tbsp peanut sauce and a delicious sprinkling of cilantro. Then I ruined it all by having a cup of coffee. You see by the time I add enough sugar and milk to make it drinkable- I might as well be drinking a soda. Did also have some water. My hunny made up some of the coffee from Kauai so we had a nice morning drinking it and discussing the budget.
9:00 brought around my cuppa tea
11:30 lunch was a nice green salad with the last of the blue cheese and craisans. I also threw some spinach in with the greens and a small number of croutons. Had a soda and 23 oz of water with it. Did also take my multi-vitamin. I take a wonderful multi but I don't remember to take it daily- sometimes it is only monthly that I take it but since I am working on better health- well multis are important. so I am also taking notes on when I do take them.
I really like the brown rice for breakfast as it is so very filling
Dinner tonight is Moroccan potato casserole and cous cous. Will probably have a glass of milk with it as well.

March 1st

Again up early with water and weaving. I cut off a set of towels this morning. I am feeling pretty good. I have not had ramen but the risotto might be what is helping me there. I got a bunch done this morning as I had to finish the workshop. Every seems pretty happy with their pieces. Lunch was a half piece of banana bread.
I did have a soda early in the morning and one later in the day
Dinner was crap- I admit it completely corn chips and salsa and a cherry poptart. Fortunately Jim is always willing to jump on the grenade of the second poptart so I don't have to eat them both.
We fell short of our goal for february and ended up missing 6 days. I am still thinking that 22 of 28 days is not bad! A wonderful benefit is that we now know we can find time even with our crossed schedules. Even better we are looking forward to time togetheron a regular basis.

feb 28

Strange day. Up early with my water and weaving
breakfast was risotto and milk
had my two mt dews early as I was teaching a stained glass workshop.
