I have not done too badly with food choices recently. I have been eating lots of dried fruit and organic foods. I have actually felt better. Now last night my best friend came into town and we ate at Ruby Tuesday's. (Certainly not organic.) I had the ribs with potatoes and broccolli. It was good but the portions were too big. I only ate about a third of my food. I had not seen her in about 2 years or so. She looked the same but I was changed. I had always been thin but now I am not. She told me she joined Curves about six months ago and has been religiously drinking her water and can tell a difference. She said she has lost about 19 pounds. She has never seen me other than thin so I was fearful of her seeing me now. But I guess she is my friend regardless. I tried to put that fear out of my mind and it finally went away. Has anyone tried Fuze? They are a collection of teas, juice blends and refreshers that I have only seen at the organic food stores. They cost about $2.39 a bottle for something about the size of a large coke or just a little bigger. It is worth it. I feel better when I drink them. They have 90 calories. Today when I went to the Fresh Market, Fuze was actually on sale! Can we say YEAH!!!!! For $1.00. All the really good choices were gone. There were a lot of diet Fuze left. But I did get a flavor I had not tried before. It was Banana Colada. It takes just like a pina colada without the alcohol. Yum! I must confess I had a little bit of a backslide. I saw creme brulee in the dessert cooler and just had to get some. It was small. About 1/3 cup worth. It was heaven on a spoon. I wonder how many calories was in that? For dinner I bought some more dried fruit. I guess I will eat that. I am debating if I really want to go out and get a dinner. I have a hankering for steak from Long Horns. They have the best steak. After those ribs I felt bloated. I had not had any real meat in about two weeks. I had had alot of beans and fish and hummus. Hummus. There is nothing better in this world than hummus. I love it. That can be a whole meal for me. Hummus on crackers or a hummus sandwich. Hummus. Hummus. Hummus. Food. Such a quandry! I feel lighter. All those veggies, hummus and organic foods. It can get a little boring but I do want to be able to get into a swimsuit of my choice this summer. And not the one I have had for the past 2 years. |
Before it becomes a butterfly, a caterpillar goes through a growth stage during which it is called a "chrysalis." On the surface it may not look like much is happening, but the delicate chrysalis process changes the fuzzy caterpillar into an awesome butterfly with wings of intricate designs and intense colors. I will chronical my transformation and exodus from my chrysalis into a beautiful butterfly...back into the butterfly I used to be.
