Jan 23-24

Had an event on saturday that I was running. SO I was up early and had everything packed in the van and ready to go. I pull out of the drive way to discover, I had a flat tire. My kind neighbor down the street came over to help. Fixed the flat and then my battery was dead. Jump started the car and off I went. Did a good job of eating small portions and had only one soda through out the day. I was exhausted when I got home. The girls bought some chinese take away and I found myself eating it.
Sunday was round the house stuff. Tried a new recipe of cinnamon popcorn- it was not very good and yet I ate far more than I should have of it.

went grocery shopping and kept ot the list but I have many savory recipes dancing about in my mind.
had a dr. pepper
Lunch was an egg salad sandwich
the the afternoon happened. I dithered and that is bad because when I dither, I eat on kind of a permanent graze setting. I munched on popcorn and smoked almonds and a cup of peach tea. Not the same one I had from breakfast. Watched a lot of tv and just really frittered my afternoon away.
Then I made dinner. I was calling it Mockzagna. I sauteed some onions and garlic in olive oil and then added red wine to them. I then added some Quorn crumbles and tomato sauce. Cooked up some noodles, mixed them all together with mozzarella cheese and baked for a little bit. Had a helping and 1/2 with a glass of milk.

slept in this morning. I had some upset tummy stuff last night. I did end up having a Quorn sandwich for dinner with lettuce and pickle.
Had a piece of toast and a glass of milk last night around midnight to help make tummy feel better.
Breakfast was a glass of water and a piece of butter toast
having mt dew right now and will be going to help a friend move in a little bit.
I have started taking a fiber supplement before meals. It does make me feel full and so that will aid portion control and the extra fiber will help to cleanse me internally. I am not keen on those colon cleanse products. they usually make me feel pretty damn awful the two time I have tried them. I think being a vegetarian, helps keep the crap fro building up as it were.
Lunch will probably be pizza as we are helping some one move. Had three pieces and a cup of sprite. sigh
Dinner was doritoes and a glass of milk double crap

jan 14

not so early up
Had no breakfast
I was poking around in my cedar chest looking for pictures and was amused that my hair style has not really ever changed. Except when I was a blonde for a couple years. These days I am growing my bangs out a little. That is creating all kinds of crazy hair photo opts!
Have a dew now. The goal is that by June I will be done with sodas all together. Except maybe special occasions. When I can whoop it up.
Lunch, lunch will be.... unknown at this point, became known and is a cheese sandwich and water
Dinner is Corn chowder and a glass of milk and probably some bread.

I have been thinking about using a diet supplement to aid my weight loss game. I do eat good, I don't get enough exercise and I am down to one soda a day. What the hell, why can't I drop some pounds. My husband loves me as I am, and while that is reassuring, I still would like to be to have less of me. I want to fit comfortable in theater seats, buy the stylish clothes I see and not get stuck with what passes in the big ladies sections. I don't hate my body, I really like it and all the things I can do with it. I would just like to do more with it. I am not longing for what I looked like as a teen, but as I age I know more issues will come up do to extra weight. And gravity works.
Why did I put on weight- many different reasons, one to be unattractive to the opposite gender, including my husband at the time, but also to keep myself from sleeping around. I have always been attracted to strong men. Sometimes that got confused with aggressive men and I would find myself in a position, literally, that I couldn't say no. I have said no, but sometime temptation and my own curiosity have worked against being faithful. And there were times when I think I was hoping that would lead me out of whatever the current boyfriend situation was.
Being pregnant was a wonderful feeling but I also found myself liberated by being able to eat food, I was not just gorging, but really enjoying food. After the babies were born there was an empty place in me. Both Literally and figuratively. I found bread to fill that void for a little bit. I had the girls so my life was not empty. But eating did change.

Up early with a cup of lovely island cola tea. Nearly out of it and can't find a good source for it grrrr.

up not so early, as I was trying to stay in dreamland. You see I was living on this island in the Pacific and needed some help so a young Robert Redford was the only boat captain I could find to help me go, someplace and do something. It was all terribly important and urgent. I believe there might have been a storm brewing.
But I did get up and had a cup of cranberry juice
Breakfast was a quesidilla with a scramble egg in the middle
had my mt dew
lunch has been hot and sour soup and 1/3 order of tofu with garlic sauce and water
Dinner tonight is twice baked potato and salad and a glass of milk

Up early and had a lovely cup of cinnamon tea. I have been working on this web on my loom for over a week now and decided this morning that i really did not like it and then found this HUGE major flaw that would require me cutting a dozen metal heddles. Instead the web was cut off and I was greatly relieved. Funny how that works. I have a cunning plan to do a couple rugs in the pattern I have been working on on my wee contraption.

Breakfast this morning was two pieces of toast with peanutbutter
Lunch is my favorite salad. I do have a dew by my side and I am thrilled that it is a cane sugar dew.
Dinner tonight is twice baked potatoes and salad and green beans

Jan 9&10

Up early both days to get things done so I could go and work on making boots. Mine are nearly done. I need to do some laces and then water proof them but they turned out very nice. I am so very pleased.

shame has kept me away from my blog. Ramen has seduced me, again. Sigh. I am a weak weak woman.
But soda intake has been good and other eating has been good.
Okay done beating myself up and now will do better. I have a skirt from Paris calling my name and I am going to fit in it.
