Mood: Ahhhhh....Why am I procrastinating my lesson plan?

Music: Noise of new air purifier - friedrich C-90A - yummy.....

It's been far too long....too much happening & husband is back to PC games instead of Xbox - oh no....looks like I'm going to have to arrange some sort of scheduale b/c not blogging for this long is driving me nuts!!! So much happened....had such a good weekend......where to start....well,..........

I've come to the conclusion that although I listen to member supported radio stations, try not to listen to what big media or the President tells me & love myself & my neighbors for who we are......I'm still a shallow person. Sometimes......I can't help it. I know most people will say "what the h*** are YOU worried about" but I am.....swimsuit season is coming up & I have gained weight. Not what I was when I started the diet but almost. I've been BTDing this whole time but slowly, more AVOIDS have been creeping into my diet. & I do notice when I have them. I'm gassier. My lemon still does wonders but this slow build up of vinegar here, a dorito there, IS adding up. I should be fine with it since for 80% of the time, I'm eating healthier that I was at this time last year but.....let's face it. I'm shallow sometimes. I was brought up with a certain parent that always wanted me to look my best & they were raised in a period of our American history where looks for a woman were everything. So, it rubbed off on me. And society & High School were no help either. Funny how I'm more critical of myself than other people though......good thing I don't watch those annoying commercials anymore......but.....I'm getting off subject.

So.......................the goal? Eat more beneficials!!! Fix more food at home! Stay away from Taco Bell & school lunches!!!! These are my February Resolutions!!! Who needs New Year's Resolutions - everyone's forgotten them already by now anyways. These "February Resolutions" are going to stick! I'm going to give in to my shallow inner workings b/c I know that BTD will actually make me healthier in the process of appeasing my dementia for losing 2 inches off my belly :-D

*Things for AB's losing weight to concentrate on:

Tofu

Fish like tuna & salmon

Rice

green veggies like collards & broccoli

turkey

dark chocolate only!!! (No more pepperidge farm cookies!!!)



*Things for AB's losing weight to avoid:

Cream

wheat (even though it's a neutral, it adds to the inches)

potatoes (ditto)

Corn (not even 1 tortillia chip!!!)

chicken (haven't had that in ages)

beef

peppers

Pepperidge farm cookies (Damn you, Sausalito!!!)

If you all still like me, even though I'm not the renegade hippie you thought I was, I will write another blog as soon as I can tear Carlos away from his Ultima Online :-D Happy eating! Remember, bathing suits aren't everything! People will love you for who you are, not how you look.......so why am I not taking my own advice?!?!!?!?! Ahhhh - Contradictions!!! The pain in my brain! ;->
