Mixed sort of day

Amazing the friendships you can create here. Yes day by day if you wish to you can make friends and deep that friendship. I know I have been doing that with people I met here.

 

Anyway, was busy as hell today. The whole morning was spent running around like a nut. I started this morning off going to my Weight Watcher's meeting. Wish I could say it was a huge loss but I did lose 2 pounds. I know I shouldn't complain but just wish it would melt off already. :lol: Well didn't put it on in a day so not going to drop off in one either. At least I am watching the scale go in the right direction. After that it was off to get a quick hair cut. When you look like you have a fro or like a dust mop has moved onto your head you know you are over due to get one.

 

Then I had to do some shopping for things for friends and myself. This might sound odd but you know you are really losing weight when you need to go buy underwear. When yours won't stay on any longer it is time to buy new ones in a size smaller. Sigh.

 

Then went to do food shopping. Needed to pick up some fruits, vegetables, and yogurt. For me those are staples in the house and in my daily routine now. Learning to once again cook and use spices instead of breading, broil and bake to keep things juicy, and just stay aware of what you are eating. My biggest problem hasn't been that I eat too much or junk food. My biggest problem is I skip meals and don't enough so the doctor yells at me that I put my body into starvation mode and eating lettuce will make me gain weight. The things you learn as you try to lose weight. Who knew you had to eat so much to get your weight down?

 

I got out some cards I wanted to mail that for me were late Halloween cards. The rest of mine were mailed early with the problems they are expecting to have in the post office. The internet is wonderful for so many things but it is killing the post office because other than bills no one is really sending cards or mail anymore. Joy.

 

Anyway my biggest issue is my character doesn't want to cooperate as his story unwinds. Right now I'm so frustrated want to put him in front of a bus and let it end with an accident but I won't. I know I am not the only writer to have problems getting a character to behave. Oh well. Have a good night all.

One big tip for cooking. Don't use salt! If you just have to have it, use it after, especially for meat. Salt dries things out so the only thing I add any to is boiling water for pasta. Most diets let you eat green beans all you want and they're excellent additions to your dinner plate to really fill it up. Fruits are good but have a LOT of natural sugar. With a recommended gram intake of just 62 a cup of cantaloupe and a banana are close to 30 together. A cup of cucumber slices and a serving of baby carrots only have 5 grams. It's spendy in the off season but there have been times when my lunch consists of cucumbers, carrots, and cauliflower with 2 tbsp. of ranch. The crunch is amazing and my "3C" meal makes me feel good about myself. Good luck on your diet, we're rooting for you!!

I am on Weight Watchers so they ask us to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. I never use salt. Pepper, garlic, and many others are used when I cook. Both parents had high blood pressure so salt wasn't something I could use.

Maria,

 

Granted Accidents Happen has been fun but Charlie does not want to go even though his story is nearly told. Little bum.
