My single BFF and I need Relationship Rehab©. We need detox. We need 3 days in a locked room without Match.com, without emails, without TEXTING and phone calls. Then we need a 90 day program on getting on with our lives without men, how to be whole and happy while being single. I swear, one day I am going to invent this. I said it first!
Yesterday I didn’t do the turkey burgers. I made a really awesome yummy shrimp and broccoli pasta thing. Probably added a little too much fat for it to be considered “haelthy” but I definitely can health-it-up a little more. I did roast the broccoli first for flavor. ALL kiddos ate it up!
Then, I went into pasta-induced-lazy-fat-ass mode. Even though I wore my workout clothes around the house from about 2 pm on, lol, I never put them to good use. I finally dragged myself onto the treadmill for 45 minutes, but didn’t exert myself. Today, weights. I promise myself. I deserve this.
I am still working on adding the journal ladies, so please, if I am missing anyone - comment me so I can figure out to add you! Not so good at this blog thing.
Today’s Food:
B: 1 pc. cinn toast, coffee (I forgot I didn’t eat much, this would explain why I am starving right now)
S: Banana, going to eat it now
L: Lean Cuisine of some sort
S: apple or fiber bar
D: Undecided, but I have many choices at home
Today I am going to challenge myself to record on TDP since I have been sooooooooooooooooooooo slacking off in the food logging! Ugh, what is up with me??
And Friday night is my big St Pats family/friend dinner … so you would think I would behave myself the days prior to that, get in all the exercise I can since I will be super busy at the end of the week (have to bake a ton of soda bread on Thursday! and green cake).
I wish I could find the key to being happy in my life without food.

The online dating stuf can be really heady at first.. All of the attention you get, etc. But jsut keep in mind the men who are paying attention to you, are paying attention to MANY other women at the same time! That is the nature of the beast.. you never know who it’s going to click with, so you chat with many people at the same time. I now look upon online dating as the endless job interview. UGH
Pasta coma.. yup.Familiar with that. Are you limiting your portions to 2 ounces and eating whole heat? Might help!

Eat lots of cabbage for your party, it’s green and quite Irish…..the gas later would keep the men away.lol Just kidding about the gas and men. I do LOVE cabbage, steamed with salt and pepper. mmmm

Why cant food be a balanced part of your happiness. I am working on this balance. Food is enjoyable in moderation it’s all okay.
You do so well with exercise and everything, really.

Green cake….gosh, is that the one with the pistacio (sp?) pudding? My mom used to make that all the time when I was a kid. It was like “her” cake….LOL I am a frosting fiend, so I never cared for it…LOL But I would probably gobble it up now!
I have been so bad about recording food as well…I keep saying I am going to, I even bought a special notebook to do it by hand, and i just couldn’t seem to get the ball rolling. I added TDP to my blogroll, so maybe I will be better. I have been doing it for two days…but I didn’t record yesterday evening…because it just got out of hand!!! LOL
Sorry the dating thing is not working out so good right now…LOL I have never had the pleasure of online dating….

LMAO at your opening paragraph. Detox, hahahahaha… for sure I know what you are saying. Thanks for a good belly laugh (unfortunately parts still moving…lol!) LT hit the nail on the head for me–endless job interview joined with interview anticipation, anxiety, and exhaustion. Whew, it wears a person out. Time Out. Breath IN Breath OUT. (((hugs)))
Is LT’s portion of 2 oz cooked or not cooked? Sorry to be such a da$$ about portion sizes. Might be why my a$$ is so wide.

When you do invent your rehab, sign me up! Unless of course I’ve met someone from match.com, we text/email for 3 days nonstop, meet then get married! Ha, like that’ll happen. My luck is I get to the meeting part and get stood up(happened last week, no lie!) So yeah, I’ll be one of your first customers:)
Thanks for the Target tip!
