Baseline

Creeping up on the starting line.  This weekend is one of simple mindfulness as opposed to strict portion control and obsessive point counting (soon, though.  soon.)  However,  I am setting today's weight as my baseline... for no other reason than it's a nice, round number.  "Nice" being a complete misnomer of course.

Morning fix w/ two hits of methadone and a splash of Silk soy creamer.



Morning experiment: Onion & sweet potato "hash" (yum!).  It's more like home fries but I cut them into itty-bitties making it look more hash-like.  Why itty-bitties?  It cooks faster.  I was hungry.  And then the humanely raised/harvested egg over-easy and a slice of Vermont brand "Yoga" bread toast with a smear (shmear?) of Earth Balance "butter" ("buttah").  If I were to guess at WW points for this, I'd estimate 7.  Or, for 7 points I could have one Entenmann's chocolate donut.  Mmmmm.  Donuuuuuuts.

 

For those already in the know, I strive towards vegetarianism and ideally (eventually) veganism.  These past couple months I have strayed waaaayyyy off track in that regard, making justifications every bite of the way.  I have come to realize however, that animal protein serves me well.   My appetite seems better regulated and I'm not hit with sudden, devastating crashes of hunger mid-morning or mid-afternoon.  I'll be pondering that as part of my mindful awareness and seeing where that takes me.  I know for now I'm putting veganism on the back burner and will enjoy eggs and dairy products.  We'll revisit my dreams of tofu and lentils a little further down the line.

 

 

"Certified Humane".  Of course anything can be slapped on a label nowadays... but I'd like to think truth in labeling isn't a complete fantasy.
