Avast, a wandering band o' Merry Pirates hath shown up at Amarantha's chamber door and hath challenged her to a TUESDAY NIGHT TOURNAMENT!!!! The game is for all the pirates and Amarantha to NOT follow BFL's eat-every-three-hour thing for tonight only and to quit eating after 6 p.m. ... which is NOW, more or less!!! A crowd of well-wishers be gathering in the courtyard as Amarantha and the pirates take their places at the finish line ... huzzah!!! Who will go the distance, Amarantha or the pirates? Film at 11.

In the interest o' A winning her Tuesday challenge and leaving those pouty pirates by the wayside stuffin' their faces before the midnight hour heraldeth the new eating day, A be asking me, Elberta Crone, the fab 100-year-old nutrition expert that cooks for her, to post her Tuesday menu and exercise report NOW ... at 6:24 p.m. ... because she intendeth to not eat anything else and more exercise dinna seem very likely either!

Added at 9:36 p.m.: Forget it! The merry pirates won. Adding a EAS shake to calorie count!

Didn't feel inclined to work out much today. Sore throat and mildly congested...

Yesterday finished off with a lunch of a cucumber, tomato and cream cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread, a snack of yogurt and pasta with veggies for dinner. And a oatmeal raisin cookie. On balance, not too bad.

Today so far: oatmeal with raisins. And coffee.

Just narrowly avoided a brush with girl scout cookies.

Ack. Just failed to exercise proper portion control over a massive bowl of turkey wild rice soup and wheat bread. At least it was not tragic food choice like fudge or something.

I'm not feeling my best today and am making poorer food choices than normal. Lots of snack-y things that don't require any effort or thought--and not nearly enough water! Today was supposed to be my big aerobic day, but my old frame just couldn't do it, so I did 50 min. of Pilates instead. May do some yoga later--or not.
It's a miracle that my scale is still showing my weight at 135!

I think I've managed to save the day after my chip excursion. Note I'm not even crazy about chips but there they were and they were good and not overly abundant.

Fudge, who said fudge? I've been having my periodic craving for PB fudge. Good thing I'm really fussy about it. Will probably have some pb in diet tomorrow but hopefully not fudge. PB fudge - my biggest weakness.

Feel better, Eydie.

trying this again after losing an earlier post. I did ok last night, but not great. Leif's birthday, so...1/2 a stuffed chicken breast, corn, a small dollop of mashed potatoes and, unfortunately, a slice of birthday cheesecake.

today I redeemed myself with a yogurt breakfast and a spinach salad so far.
