July 29

Such a bloody slacker.
I have not be blogging as regularly as I had been. I guess I have hit a slump. Part if what is slumping me is seeing recent photos of myself. Most the time my vision of myself is in my head and then I see a photo and it just is depressing to see that image that the world actually has- not how I feel I look.
Slumping on food too, eating far more than I should and not good stuff. I have only been riding my bike one day a week for the last month or so. What is up with that- I like riding my bike- it helps reduce my stress and makes me feel good. Could blame it on the rain, but I know that getting rained on will only make me wet and I will dry.
Summer yuckies?
sigh- I need to work harder on getting to work on my bike more, cutting out more bad eating habits and encouraging better habits.

july 22

up early sewed the hems of the towels I finished weaving.
had a breakfast burrito and a mt dew.
work has been crazy frustrating.
have had two mt dews during the work day part
no idea what I am having for dinner. Will probably be too hungry and eat junk. I will try not to do this. We have lovely fresh lettuce so maybe I will get over it and eat something healthy and good.

july 21

Up early but had had wicked ramen for breakfast.
had two mt dews during the day and fought myself to not drink a third.
lunch was tofu with garlic sauce and much water
dinner was spinach feta noodles

july 20

up early and wove, put away all my laundry.
I had a potato and egg burrito for breakfast
rode my bike into work but have felt blah all day.
had two mt dews and water
lunch was leftover ragout. sauce still makes my toes curl even in gummy pasta.
Not sure what I am making for dinner tonight. Probably scrounge, which could mean that I eat a bowl of peanuts and have a glass of milk or that I actually make something.

July 18-19

had an event on saturday so brought grapes, bread and cheese and then was also fed noodles with peanut sauce and grated carrots & cucumbers. Yum. I also had a mt dew in the am tons of water through out the day and a coke in the afternoon.
Sunday was a fun cooking day. I had two pieces of toast with peanut butter for brekkies. then for lunch I made grilled cheese and tomato soup. Then I cookies chocolate chip cookies, breakfast burritoes and dinner was a lovely french dish with a complex sauce that rocks my world. I made the mistake of putting it over egg noodles. this is a mistake because the lovely lovely sauce gets all gummed up by the pasta. Next time I will make either rice or polenta to use as the starch because they will soak up the sauce but not get gummy. I love having a day to just cook. I also made crescent rolls and ended up eating more of those than I should, with thick slices of havarti cheese.

july 17

made scones for breakfast. Avalon has some friends over so want to be sure they all get food.
had two mt dews and fighting myself to not have a third one
had a scone for breakfast with blackberry jam
lunch was a pbj and water
making zucchini ankara for dinner- nice dish of zucchinis, chickpeas and onions served on couscous with feta cheese, flavored with garlic and lemon. It is a yummy dish and will mean more water

Timony came over yesterday afternoon and ate most of my leftover tofu with garlic sauce. But she left me about a 1/2 of rice and four pieces of tofu.

Had expected to have extra but my hunny came home hungry.
got a little off the soda thing as I had 2 cokes on saturday and washed my downstairs windows and then later had a mtdew
sunday was much better regular breakfasts and lunches and only one mt dew. I guess that makes up for saturday. Went up to friends house and we did some dyeing with natural dyes. I was amazed at some of the colors we got. Will have pictures up on the facebook page

july 7

slept in today as the dreams were in full technicolor and intriguing. Skipped breakfast- bad i know but since it was tuesday figured I would make up the calories in chinese food. Had some water and a mt dew earlier.
I am eating seame tofu and am not very happy with it. For a long time I used to order it and then I switched to tofu with garlic sauce. Now that I am eating the sesame tofu again I find it way too sweet and oily. So skipping breakfast might have been good for calories, it sucks that I am stuck now with being hungry but the food I have is not very good.
will be drinking more water to at least wash this down and will have another dew later
I didn't make quiche last night so it is on the schedule for tonight!

July 1-6

Not sure where the days went but I have been pretty good. making healthy food for dinner and bringing my lunch. I have been keeping to 2 sodas a day and watching portions. I have ridden my bike twice in that time frame. I had friday off and wove up a scarf for timony and some trim for the sca. I am hoping to get pictures of it all. I got some housework done and the lawn mowed. We have had these freak afternoon storms the last couple days. I mean really freaky- the thunder just keeps rolling without us seeing the lightening flashes. yesterday started warm and calm and then around 3 this wind storm whips up and then the rain and we get 1 1/2 inches in about 1/2 hour and then it goes away. then late in the evening anotehr storm blows through that leaves hail drifts on the sides of the roads. Crazy.
Colleen and Patrick came over for lunch on sunday. I made spinach dip which they both like, deviled eggs, and potato pizza. I also bought a chicken for them to ingest and some pinapple for dessert. It was nice.
I was up early today weaving. I had oatmeal for breakfast and water
lunch was a pbj and a banana more water and a mt dew
not sure what I am making for dinner- probably do quiche again as it makes good leftovers.
