Avoid Poisons & Stupid Mistakes
Well…lets see…
The dark Chocolate was NOT Lindt, it was some cheap brand and it tasted bleh

I am “borrowing” Batty’s expression - [i am no longer calling them 'cheats'. i am going to refer to it as Off Plan Eating.] I think it is a "healthier" attitude.

So, my supper was “Off Plan Eating”…my Farmer brought home take out pizza…I worked today, I was tired and hungry…I ate it…we’ll see how my body reacts…

Move Slowly, Lift Heavy, Sprint
Nothing…

Sleep, Sun, Play, and Use Your Brain
Bed at 11:30, up at 6.
Supply teaching in the city. Uneventful.
A little retail therapy. I’m trying to find Merrell’s Pace Gloves.
No one seems to have them. They are all “expecting them any day now.”
Also I returned 2 of the 3 dresses I bought the other day.

When I got home, my Farmer had take out pizza. I ate it…

After supper we cleaned out the old trailer. We are picking up our new one Sunday.

While we were outside, Lily fell in a huge mud puddle
Then I had to give her a bath…



I had a tiny glimpse of what NourishedEm might have gone through trying to clean Charlie

Hi Winencandy!!

Now it's my turn to stop by for a visit!

I totally feel you on being careful about what messages you are sending your kids re: food. I have two daughters, and right now they are very supportive of my weight loss efforts, but I really want to make sure that they hear that I am focused on health, not on "being skinny." D11 already has friends who actually scrape the cheese off of pizza "because that's fat!" and then eat the crust. :P . Luckily their school has a "Farm to Fork" curriculum this year where they are reading, among other things, The Omnivores' Dilemna (kids' version) and Chew On This (a kid version of Fast Food Nation), so there's been a lot of talk about where our food comes from, why we eat different kinds of things, etc. Both my girls are very small and lean, as I was growing up, so I'm hopeful to steer their diet to more primal offerings while not ending up with their obsessing over food and body image.

On eating more when we eat breakfast, all I can say is that I really, really like IF'ing and not eating breakfast. Breakfast makes me feel gross and full (even if I don't eat much) long before my system feels like it needs the fuel. I suspect that especially if people eat carby things, the blood sugar spike makes you want more (mid-morning snack, then lunch etc).

Oh, my goodness, what an adorable muddy mess Lily is!!

Sometimes you just gotta eat, no big deal.

So, you're still counting calories this month?

Did the mud stink like dried, dead fish? No? Then it really is just a glimpse. But then Lily's coat is long which makes it a hell of a lot harder! It's a good job we love them eh?

Hi Winencandy!!

Hi, and welcome!

I totally feel you on being careful about what messages you are sending your kids re: food. I have two daughters, and right now they are very supportive of my weight loss efforts, but I really want to make sure that they hear that I am focused on health, not on "being skinny."

I remember the 1st time my daughter "thought" she was fat. She was in grade 6 (and she was tiny)...I'd received a large bag of clothes from a friend's daughter. My Daughter was trying them on and she couldn't get one pair of shorts on. She got all quiet and then finally told me she was too fat to fit in the clothes.

My stomach flipped. I thought I'd have a few more years before I had to worry about her feeling that way. We talked for a while about positive body images and popular media's distortions, (and in my desperation to get her to "see" I even compared her to some of her classmates - I wish I hadn't "gone there") But the only thing that finally got through to her was when I asked to see the shorts. They were a child's size 6!!! Once she realized that, she was able to "see"...

She's been really good since then. She has a dancer's/gymnast's body, but she's almost 16...

That is a BIG part of why I don't want her to think I'm "watching" (weighing/measuring) my food.

This is wonderful!

Me too. I've been IFing for years...I just didn't know it

Oh, my goodness, what an adorable muddy mess Lily is!!

Pardon my ignorance, but what are ''Tibetan Rites?''

[winencandy]

So, you're still counting calories this month?

I think so. It seemed to help me. And it seemed to work (now that I checked on a "proper" scale)
I don't have a really good idea of the breakdown of what I eat, 'cause I've never counted before.
I'm thinking of it as an education. I'm learning. I don't plan on doing this forever...

I think my main focus will be on meeting my protein grams and keeping my carbs under 100.

I'm gonna try to NOT stress about the numbers, and I'm only gonna post them here...

Did the mud stink like dried, dead fish?

Not this time, But that's her favorite thing to do at the beach, and once here she rolled in a rotten racoon corpse - THAT was nasty!!!!

No? Then it really is just a glimpse. But then Lily's coat is long which makes it a hell of a lot harder! It's a good job we love them eh?

Yes it is

Good. I'm glad you are sticking with it.

My dog loves nothing better than a really stinky seagull corpse to roll in. Then he can't understand why he gets put in the tub. "But I put on my best cologne just for you. Essence of Dead Seagull."

ok i'm getting dizzy watching the man do tibetan rites.
