Hey look, I'm still alive!

And still fat.  Oh well.  I'm eating better and betterer every day.  Except today, when I ate a half of a steak, egg, and cheese biscuit while reading about my arteries clogging.  That's why I only ate a half.  Ick.

Fall is here, sort of, and that means the summer fruits and veggies are more expensive and shipped from Chile.  Which is OK, I guess.  I have nothing against canned or frozen food, although I have to check the salt in canned stuff.  I love frozen berries.  Throw 'em in a blender with yogurt and honey and you have a smoothie in a minute.  Who knows the difference?

But fall does have it's own food, and I'm looking forward to that.

Fall is about orange and yellow and brown, have you noticed?  I love winter squash, but I haven't done much with it because my family isn't a big fan base.  Oh well.  I think I'll try use more winter squash and see if I can convince them they like it.

There is a yard full of collards behind my office.  I've been invited to go pick some, but I'm not sure how to pick it.  I guess you sort of cut the bunch.  I hate to say it, but I'll probably buy my greens at the store.  They are cheap and I'm wearing high heels and hose.

I have actually lost a little weight this summer... about 10 lbs.  We joined a gym in August.  We actually went to it for a few weeks.  I know, I know.  We have to actually use it or the only weight we lose is in the wallet.  I'm thinking maybe Friday.  Or Monday.  Definitely Monday.

Peace to all.  Drink lots of water and wear warm socks.

Travel through food

Today, I ate my first peach of the season.  It wasn't quite ready to make me have an orgasm as I ate it over the sink, but it was pretty good.  Now I am eating Greek yogurt with honey, nuts, and a rainbow of fresh fruit.  I am pretending that I am in Marrakesh.

Unfortunately, I am not in Marrakesh, I am in my office and it's time to do some tax returns for people who procrastinate.  And that's OK, because I still have my yogurt, honey, nuts and fruit.

Day two

Yesterday I was marvelous.  I had two rainbows and not a lot of other crap to cloud it up.  Lots of lean protein.  I walked for half an hour with my husband... up hill all the way!!!  (It just seemed that way.  I'm in really bad shape.)

Today, I'm OK.  I had fish, squash casserole, beets, and cabbage at Lizard's Thicket, which is as good as it gets there.  I would have done better with the baked chicken, but I HATE baked chicken.  I think I'll go with a very veggie salad tonight.  I have a meeting, so I'll be eating later than I like.

The weather is beautiful... windy and warm.  Not so hot & humid you can see fish in the air.  There is no excuse not to walk around, even if it is all up hill.

Two days in a row!  Woo-hoo!
