Yes. I skipped a day. I didn't post anything yesterday, and here's why: my head was too full of work stuff to think about life stuff. So I'm catching up on Tuesday's and Wednesday's eating today.
Chapter 10, or Episode IV: A New Hope
Pow. Right off the bat. Star Wars. That's how I skid. You're welcome.
I don't have a lot to say about the past two days eating-wise, except that they were very healthy. No derailments, no ventures into sickness. One big craving last night, which I shut down using steamed spinach with a little salt on it. Yeah, I Popeyed that sumbitch. Lots of tofu and veggies and such... my boss almost fainted in disgust when he saw me building a tofu-spinach wrap. The poor guy hates vegetables so much that he has to take them in pill form. I kid you not. I think I'd be up a creek if I didn't love healthy food so much... so I'm grateful.
The Star Wars plug in the chapter title even has real meaning today. A New Hope, today, means that I get to set a new goal. That's right, people... I've been under 300 for a week now (even though I got perilously close after the superbowl feed). This means two things: first, somebody throw some confetti and start honking and whistling right now. I wanna have a parade... thank you. Second: having received new, glorious artwork from Jess, it's ink time. Tattoo on. A bracelet of bluebells... humility, gratitude, constancy. You may preview the new piece at the top of the page, because I can not figure out how to insert the picture right here where I want it. Luddite moment.
So! 275! The new magic number. Get on board, folks. The Manatee Train's next stop: 100 pounds lost. Peace and love to you all.

Awww ^_^ I'm glad you've been having a good week.
ReplyDeleteHome sick today :P (Sneaky stomach Something)..so glad you like the flowers.
Jess, sorry to hear about the SSS. Mental chicken soup, coming over the psychic airwaves to you. And I don't like the flowers, I love them. I'm crazy about them.
ReplyDeletePOW! POW! POW! (that was confetti canons for you).
ReplyDeleteThis is SOOOO awesome. Your comments about your boss and vegetables really cracked me up. I feel very lucky that way too. I LOVED my lunch of Flat-out wrap with avocado, spinach, reduced fat provolone and dried cherries today. Spinach and I are having a love affair right now- it's powerful stuff.
JEss- the bluebells are so pretty. Post a finished picture pretty please.
xoxo
I missed the day you skipped, but I knew you were super busy.
