was very good with soda all weekend. got out both days for loooong walks. it was much good. Pity I had a craving for lime corn chips and cheese goo. Both saturday and sunday they were a meal.
the only other thing I ate on satuday was a grilled cheese sandwich and some tomato soup.
Sunday food was the aforementioned chips, ramen and milk and then kosheri for dinner (lentils, rice and pasta with spicy tomato sauce) So I guess it wasn't as bad as it could have been. the walks cancel the effects of the cheese goo?
I have noticed a distinct desire for salt lately. But I have also cranked up drinking water and trips to the bathroom. Hmmmm, I wonder?

working with self over weekend on balance between portion control and not feeling deprived. Now feeling depraved is always fun!

08/26/10

up early had a mt dew and water and much grumpy at the one sI love who decided to be up and chatty with me during my morning quiet time. I know they are just excited and want to talk, but why can't they talk to me later. Like when It is evening social type time.
Looking into getting a gym membership at the beginning of Oct.

Kick ass tea and multivitamin plus an extra iron tab.
breakfast was two pieces of toast with peanut butter and some water
rode in today. Discovered why riding my bike has been so very hard lately. My back tire was way down in air. Like more than 3/4ths. I check it every week but must have missed that week. Which makes me mighty happy as I thought it was me!
had water when I got in
then had some smoked almonds and a mt dew
lunch was my leftovers from yesterday's lunch.
Having more H2O
dinner really, really is going to ratatouille tonight! It turned out wonderfully. I also made up a couple sweet potatoes and salad. And I really did not have seconds. Even though I wanted them.
I have 3 strawberry twizzlers for dessert

08/24/10

up early with weaving and water and mt dew
it was a rough start morning
breakfast was brown rice tofu and peanut sauce with water
drove into work today as the rain just made me sad. Must get a fender
had water and mt dew
lunch was hot & sour soup and water
really want another soda right now just for the feel in my mouth. But am trying to quell that desire.
I am a little stressed out as we have a friend who is staying with us kind of long term. She was in a bad relationship and needed to get out. Of course we will do what we can to help her but she is a bit needy. She is working on it but I am a little dismayed to find her asking me for permission to do stuff. She is much older than I and it just seemed full of odd to be telling her it is okay is she goes out with friends.
Dinner tonight will be the ratatouille I didn't make last night and milk. Okay, still didn't make it
Had tapioca for dinner and that was all. Weird

08/23/10

Up early
weaving and water and a cup of tea

it was hotter than I expected this morning when I rode into work. I was sooooo hot and sweaty.
drank my whole water bottle in less than a 1/2 and then refilled it.

had mt dew
got home and ate some smoked almonds and am really feeling like I want more salt.
dinner tonight was spinach feta noodles and bread with roasted garlic and water
I will also be making tapioca but that is really just to use up my milk before milk day tomorrow. One thing about making it from scratch is that it is actually very high in protein. Takes four eggs and much milk.
It was very good and i heard myself saying to myself- go ahead and have more- good protein and you have been riding your bike and need the calories- HA! I heard it and now I can stop it!

08/21-22/10

I have a guest at the house. A friend who needed a place to stay and get her stuff together after a bad break up. Only problem is that she is an early riser too and very afraid of my dog. So not only do I lose my morning time but I also have to be very on top of where my dog is. She will be with us until mid sept. It will be interesting.

Moment of truth 12:27
current weight 124 (-2lbs from July)
Bust 44 (same)
waist 40 (-3 inches-interesting) SO I was wearing a pair of pants yesterday that had gotten so big that while I was wearing them Timony could stick her whole head into my pants. That was a surreal moment but even odder was the conversation that lead up to "I bet you could stick your head in my pants while I am wearing them".
hips 49 (same)
thigh 25 (-1/2)
calf 17 1/2 (-1/2)
bicep 13 (-1/2)

So while not record breaking, I am still losing ( I like to think letting go of parts of me I no longer need) inches and weight. Now that I have stepped up the bike riding I am will be very curious to see what next month will look like.
