Sat./Sun. Entry (Weigh in)
Comments(3) I am down a pound (YAH!) and I have realized somethings as I record. I need to take this slow and not worry about my goal. I must live now how I see myself wanting to live. (Well THIS is what I said in my profile a long time ago…) I do not want to deny myself. I do not ever want to feel deprived yet I do not like to feel like a pig either. That is a nasty feeling. I need to feel pleasure from food. Not all the time, but sometimes. I need to not feel bad about enjoying multiple treats, life, myself, etc. It is of course a good thing to find pleasure in all areas of our lives and so this is always something to work on. I for one am trying to be open to what it is that is next. I have been told to just try different things. Right. From the “feels like the queen of failure”, I really do not like just jumping in. I am like a cat in water! Something else that is occuring frequently in my mind is weight and career and success. Things to think more about….
On the up side, I REALLY enjoyed and am still enjoying my weekend. Watched a new movie by the fire last night (Sweeny Todd - NOT the high light of my day, it is good, well done, but REALLY not my cup of tea - Still LOVE Mr. Depp though) and woke up EARLY this AM and enjoyed a mini spa. Turned out the lights, lit a candle, warm tub with the scent of lime, and enjoyed!!! Exfoliated and moisturized - I REALLY DO NOT DO THIS ENOUGH !!! I must make this a weekly thang. I deserve it. We all do!

Twas a great free day 
This kind of recording/cooking is actually helping me stay away from restaurants, impulsive choices (for the most part) and is allowing me to think about other things other then meals. (AND WE DO NEED TO THINK A LITTLE IN ORDER TO LOSE, even if it is at a turtle pace, which I accept now. I do, I do.) It is planned and that is that. Things can change if need be, but there is no needless wondering what will we want. David never cares except he likes to go out. I think he just does not cook and wants to do his share, but frankly, we have food! We/I (he helps on the weekends a little) just prepare and then he adds what he wants to his and I add to mine. This way we both are good with it. This is good eats…hehe I accept that our tastebuds are not all the same. Not everyone can handle plain chicken with just lemon and pepper…hehe.
Has anyone else seen Cooking Yourself Thin? It is a British show and it is high on my must see list. I have it recorded so I never miss it.
Health, Happiness, Hugs, Have a good one!
