a day of rest January 28, 2009
I am taking it easy today. I think my knee needs a day of rest. It’s better this morning but still sort of sore when I get up from a sitting position. Thanks inkheartmeg for your comment and I think that book sounds good. I should get it. It sounds pretty accurate. Its not food’s fault that we overeat, its ours. Food is lovely and should not be to blame, LOL. Yesterday while shoping i came across this new ice cream from edy’s. they have a limited time only girlscout cookie flavored icecream. about four different flavors. One of them is thin mint!!! It took all my power not to put that gallon of joy in the cart. But i resisted. Next thursday will be my two week mark of not treating myself. So, next thursday the thin mint ice cream and I will have a date ;) If I dont let myself have this stuff once in a while, Im afraid I may go insane. moderation, right :) anyway, I figured I would share this funny tidbit with you all….. this morning while driving home from taking the kids to school, the radio announced that there was an 8 foot gator stuck in a sewer drain in our town. It has been stuck there for three days now, and they can’t figure out how to get it out. I wonder if the poor thing is overweight? LOL I do wish the best for the poor gator. These things still amaze me by living in this part of the country. I think they always will. I’ll always be a northerner at heart. Like on our way to the airport there are all these signs that say “panther crossing” on the side of the road. I think I might shit if I saw a panther try to cross the road in front of us, LOL Our weather is starting to warm up again. Its beautiful out today. I have all the windows open and the breeze is blowing in. tonight I am making baked tilapia with roasted brussel sprouts. yummmmmm…have a wonderful day, and thank you all for your comments 
Thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind comment. I’m not quite back up to speed, or perfectly on program, but I did not gain through a very stressful period, and I count that as a success!
I wouldn’t like living round gators or panthers either, but, then, YOU are brave enough to cook tilapia. I have never cooked fish, except for salmon, which somehow doesn’t count. I’m afraid to cook it — afraid I won’t cook it long enough, afraid I won’t really lknow if it’s fresh. Stupid, I know (and I don’t love fish, so I’m not tortured by this odd weakness) but still. Good for you
Oh, I am not making fun of you or your sound dinner choices, but doesn’t that combination STINK to high heaven? LOL! Baking fish and roasting brussel sprouts must be ripe. My hubs and son walk around with pinched faces when that’s cooking.
Ice cream. Oh goodness. You know, I never ate it much when I was at my heaviest but now, after years of not having it I find it’s simply the hardest thing to resist at the grocery store. I have trouble going down that aisle, although I need the frozen fruits and fresh veggies nearby. Ohhhhhh. It may be time for a treat soon! I enjoy the single serve ones by Blue Bunny on occasion. Mmmm!
Hmmm, baked tilapia with roasted brussel sprouts. Yum. I’ve learned that what we let our eyes rest on increases our desire, so, I don’t watch the food network or gaze at the ice cream case! LOL Also, I did have the occasional treat. Last night it was chocolate. But, I’ve eating *good* foods so long and so little of the stuff that I used to crave that I no longer crave it. No cravings = good. WTG, woman. You are doing great. Rest that knee! Delita
