So I Skipped A Day



















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.

  2. 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.

  3. POW! POW! POW! (that was confetti canons for you).
    This 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
