No news today. This week. This fortnight. Well, nothing extremely interesting anyway.
I had my 2nd appointment with my nutritionist. Still not completely warm & fuzzy with her approach. It's based on the typical American diet, albeit a balanced one, with X portions of protein and Y portions of carbs per meal, 3 meals per day w/ a snack in between each one. So I tried for a week, and par for the course, I was strong the first few days and then slid steeply off track. Too much sugar, just too much friggin' sugar.
So do I claim I'm back on track? Do I say for the bazillionth time that enough's enough? I will tell you that I spent most of today in my kitchen, reformatting my fridge and pantry, making my food for the workweek and feeling optimistic. The food I made was decidedly NON-American, consisting of kitchari, tofu, nuts, seeds, rocks and twigs. These are the foods I cooked because these are the foods my body craves. Eastern influence, vegan, savory, somehow cleaner (for this body) than yogurt and cheese and meat and bread.
I have a gentleman's bet with my BFF; the first to lose 15 lbs wins the bet. She's winning. This week (the first full week since our bet started), she's down a solid 3 lbs, I'm down zero. I don't have a strong competitive nature, though I can get pretty hardcore when competing with myself. I sure wish that hardcore edge would appear soon 'cuz I'm floundering. All that being said, this week will be a good one. One week at a time. One day at a time. One hour at a time if necessary.
I'm grateful for you, my loyal followers of a less-than-diligent blogger. I wish I had more successes and less failures to share with you lately, but one thing's for sure; my failures feel a little lighter after sharing them with you. Thank you for that.
Here's to a good week, yes? Healthy food, productive workdays, lazy autumn evenings, good sleep, happy dreams and lots of cozy love, whatever that means to you.
More soon.
