CWCC?

Coffee with coconut cream

[Siobhan]

Whenever I see 'coffee with coconut cream' I want some, no matter what time it is! I'm just like Pavlov's Dog.

[Judg]

Hmm, I never developed a taste for it...

Kathi, I got my wish. The next time I grated carrots I did not cut a chunk out of my thumb. It came out of my pinky instead... But tonight (yay!) I grated my veggies injury free.

I still wish my stupid food processor hadn't gone on strike.

I take a vacation from my scales when they're bothering me too. I can tell when I've lost weight, because I put my hands on my hips and feel surprised. I catch myself running my hands up and down my waist in astonishment. Then I know the scale is going to be my friend.

So there is hope for using the mandolin again! Glad to hear your fingers made it intact.

I can't believe how skinny my back is and my legs look great. The girls seem a bit smaller (yeah!). It's the roll at my middle in front that I hate.

[Judg]

Well, you're more than half the way there. You've got to be seeing a difference.

I can't say I rejoice about the girls getting smaller. Oh well.

I'm feeling particularily FAT the past couple of days. when I was seeing that number inching down to the low 180s I was actually feeling and seeing a flatter tummy - but then I got all bloated and yucky again and now I just feel like a whale again. It has to be my little cheats causing this. I don't think my body is going to allow even an 80/20 split. I think for overall health and weight loss success I'm going to have to be nearly 100% all the time. but hearing you guys enjoying the new slim feelings is giving me hope that I may one day be there as well.

You will Tomi, you will!

So GP's Debauchary (mine looks like Blanche from Golden Girls) visited with Pizza last night Remorse (Sophia) tried to tell me that I would feel bad, but I ignored her. Of course I was up most of the night and now Resolve (Dorothy) has set in with the help of MSH. I have a plan and will eat right today.

I've got to go pick up my organic veggies this morning. Drinking CWCC and a dab of coconut sugar. Tonight we will finally have the bacon wrapped hamburger steaks that DS has been wanting since he unloaded the GF meat delivery. When I see what's in the basket, I will finalize next weeks meals and grocery list.

Another revelation from MSH is on exercise - I'm not doing it to loose weight, I'm doing it to be able to save my life if I'm in a situation that requires strength and stamina. If the side effect is looking better, great, but that's not the goal. I need to get out my belly dancing DVDs and the hula hoop to tone my middle and I'm pretty sure I've got a yoga DVD somewhere for flexibility. MSH encourages working out at home and planning <30 minutes 4-6 days a week.

I'm feeling open to Opportunity (Rose) and more focused then I have in awhile.

Great stuff in basket (green beans, yams, onion, celery, carrots, avacado, lettuce, potatoes, kiwi, pears, apples, banana, watermelon - all organic). Unpacked, washed, put away. Leftover chili with sour cream for lunch. Asian pear & ginger Kombucha for a treat. May make sweet potato bars and some spiced nuts.

[Judg]

Msh?
