A Life Less Overweight

Well, back from the “destruction” of J’s childhood home. I inhaled a TON of dust; it was like when Al Pacino sticks his face in the pile of coke in Scarface, except all I got was itchy. Overall, it wasn’t as stressful and tension-filled as I thought it would be. It was sad for the family, his dad made himself scarce, but the new soon to be wife sure didn’t! What a weird situation. Considering there were all sorts of ridiculous things to eat this weekend, I didn’t do too badly. I did cheat, but as soon as I did, I started craving sweets after each meal. Before starting this new life, I used to LOVE going to restaurants and other people’s houses to eat. Now, I find I don’t enjoy it as much as I used to, mostly because the control piece of it is out of my hands more. Being a control freak (all teachers are to some extent!) I don’t like not knowing exactly what is in my food, how it was cooked, and a limited menu. It’s a good thing I like to cook and am good at it. And although I’ve always considered it annoying that I SUCK SUCK SUCK at baking, I’m beginning to see that as a blessing!!

So, even though I cheated, I am still down a pound. Only one though. Heaven forbid I actually lose two in a week. Oh well, slow and steady…
