had a couple mt dews through the day- just two so I was glad about that.
Then I made dinner- I tried a new recipe
potato pizza. I made the dough from scratch then threw a couple potatoes in the mircowave. I think I left them in there too long as they were supposed to slice nicely but ended up crumbled.
I had already covered the dough with crushed rosemary, olive oil and garlic/. I sprinkled the potatoes over the crust and then covered them with moz and parm cheese and 1/2 cream. It was amazing and Timony and I could not stop eating it. Ate way too much and stayed up way too late

april 18&19

had a good weekend.
very productive and kept the food mostly healthy and light. Did have two sodas on sat and sun. But also rode my bike to work on sunday to clean the plant and the rode it back home a couple hours later. weather looks like it will continue to be excellent all week. Drank lots of water all weekend. My nephew helped me put on a rack on my bike so I now have these bags that hook on. That will make the ride in easier as I won't have to have a back pack and can tote more. It is mostly the clothes as I were more layers in the morning and then peel them back depending on the afternoon weather.

Will have a mt dew with lunch but will really work on that being the last one of the day. I really blew my soda intake this weekend so I am aware that I will probably get some headaches tonight but I really want to get back to two or less a day.

Dinner is leftovers from this weekend.

april 11&12

Wish I could just write off this whole weekend- no control or self restraint on food or soda. Worst part about it was I didn't just say "okay I am having a crappy food weekend' I just kept eating more going- ugh- why am I eating. I bought more ramen.
Saturday started off good but quickly ran away with chocolate and peeps. Then the soda came along to make me try to recover from the sugar crash. GRrrr- I say grrr at me.
On the good side, the weather is nice so I can be riding my bike more this week.

April 4 &5

Did very good this weekend with caffeine, however I bought Ramen- why did I buy it? I don't know but I did buy three packages of it on sunday. I had on sunday afternoon and the other monday morning. Thank Goodness Timony ate the other package.
I had a bunch of busy work for myself with weaving planned. I got a bunch of warp chains made up and labeled, I went hunting in the scarey closet and found the stuff for a different project, I also was reminded of who much silk I have and that I should make it into stuff, I sewed two new garments for the SCA a linen underdress and an overdress, I did all my regular weekend stuff, warped up two of the small looms and finished weaving my blanket.
Food wise, I ate moderately and drank much water and watered cranberry juice. I did have a cup of coffee on saturday with enough sugar and milk to make it drinkable. had just two mt dews all weekend. That makes me feel good.

april 3

Jim is very funny about me sleeping in when he is home. They changed his days off this week and so he had thursday and friday off. I usually have the alarm set for 5 but he wakes up before 5 and shuts it off. The he comes up a bit after five and says to me - why don't you sleep in this morning.
When I just wake up- I am very susceptible to suggestions and so I do. Then when he comes to get me two hours later, I am a bit frustrated at missing that time for weaving or whatever else I do in the am. But he says he likes it if one of us gets to sleep in. So I guess he is using me for vicarious sleeping in.
Up at 7:00 glass of oj and bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.
Having a cup of mint tea at 8:30
lunch is a green salad with blue cheese, craisins and poppyseed dressing. With 16 oz of water and 1/2 a bagel. I was hoping that I was only going to have 1 mt dew today but the second one is open and leering at me, like it knows all my weaknesses.
