I loved my lunch today. Met Elaine at A.J.'s and Don was there, eating alone, as well, so we all joined up together. I had scrambled eggs with fresh spinach and onions. No meat and no cheese. Did not miss it at all. Delish.
I also had some fruit with it and whole wheat toast, dry. It was the first fruit I've had in couple of weeks. I didn't realize how much I missed it. I enjoyed it better than I enjoyed the ice cream I had last week.I'm feeling virtuous that I had the toast dry but really, there IS a reason why one butters one's toast. Dry toast is so hard to swallow. Duhhhh.

Deb just walked in with a Starbucks latte. I love them plain, no sugar, no nothing, just luscious steamed milk and foam and coffee. No way I can say "thanks but no thanks". Yummmm.

Sorry for taking so long for responding. I have so much catching up to do! I don't know how some people do it, blogs, email, work, etc. And there are just so many amazing blogs out there, it's just a little too addictive. I guess a person just has to limit themselves to a certain amount of favorites. Just so much talent!
Anyway, I just popped in and saw your weight loss journal, and did I ever crack up at A Woman's Week at the Gym. That was funny!!! It's such a difficult journey, sometimes I think I have a handle on it, sometimes I think I view food as a "normal" person, other times I've come to understand I have a real addiction. (Usually at night, after dinner) I wasn't a fat kid, I had a healthy relationship with food, until my older sister started to diet and influenced me in an unhealthy way. I'm a firm believer that diets don't work. You know...on the wagon, off the wagon.
I'm still just trying to get in touch with that kid in me, the one that enjoyed food, wasn't obsessed, didn't see calories or carbs. Hmmm, the big difference, is that I was a hell of a lot more active! I think thats one of the big clinchers, especially as I age. When I'm active, I'm happier, and in touch with my body. The other factor that I find is I must have my passions fulfilled. If I can't fill my creative desires or I'm not fulfilled in my relationships, then I use food to fill me up. And we all know that doesn't work. Another thing though, do we have to be so obsessed with the culture of thin? There are other parts of the world and other periods in history when you or I would be the envy of others! I just want to feel comfortable in my body, keep striving to be healthier, eat more vegetables and fresh fruit, whole grains, legumes etc. Less sugar, fat, processed food. No low carb for me. Can't do that. Any way, I wasn't planning on going into all this, but hey, what woman doesn't have some sort of food issue?
Thank you for your lovely comments by the way. The spinning is amazing. I do get some funny comments. I love my coffee clutch in the morning. It's a bunch of regulars and we have a gas. Over the years people come and go. It's kind of like cheers.
Love you Annie!
Now I'm going to see a little more on your blogs. How do you manage so many blogs? I can barely do one!
Scrambled eggs with spinach and onions sound fabulous! Congratulations, Annie! Don't you love those 5 and zero losses? I started Weight Watchers this week, which has worked for me in the past, so keep your fingers crossed!
