The Downfall and Delay of my Diet

So, first I would like to thank and also ruin the person who invented both the Thin Mint and Samoa Girl Scout cookie ice cream. delicious. I wasn't going to get ice cream, but i stopped dead in my tracks. both are delicious and they have pumpkin and peppermint, too. i love me some ice cream.

Also, I don't have any money. so therefore, it's difficult to get and eat what i want to or should. i take food donations from work. it rules. i got cottage cheese and peaches this week.

here is the dress i will need to wear in June of '08:

pretty good.......

Tuesday was a very good day of eating and I took a walk on my break at work, with BIG hills, bigger than i expected. Wednesday was also great, not much in the day but fruits and veggies and mini-bagel with cream cheese and then for dinner I tried the amazingly delicious and I suppose somewhat healthy Baja Fresh. I got a $10 gift card from my work for my B-Day. I used $5.50 on it, so I can go back and try something else delicious and only have to pay a buck or 2 extra. woo. Wed night i did not sleep, i thought it was my mind, but it was my hacking up a lung. I tried to go to work. I puked outside my car door. I got there late and was clearly very ill. I got sent home after an hour and a half once they found a sub. I went right to the Dr and have an Upper Respiratory Infection. I drank OJ and V8 and didn't eat much but K mentioned mac -n- cheese and i made some with ff milk and only like a tiny bit of butter. also, at the store if you bought mac -n- cheese you got a free 10 pack of new capri sun 100% juice - woo! good for bring to work. Today i've eaten very well. Rice Krispies, Soy Milk (trying to keep my dairy low), OJ, spinach and a bit of cheese omlette and tea. If you haven't tried Celestial Seasons Perfectly Pear White Tea - do it. do it now.

UPDATE: right now i am just keeping my dairy low to keep from excess mucus. but it's been recommended by several people to cut dairy out for a while and see if i sense an improvement of my general symptoms (not being able to breathe) and then add it back in and see how it affects me. it would suck if i was allergic to dairy but all i would have to do was cut eggs out and i'd be vegan. it was also suggested to do the same thing with wheat, but that would be even harder i think. but might be worth it. i gotta check with the allergist bc according to the tests i am allergic to everything indoors and out but no food or pet allergies, i want to check what they did for the food ones)

dammit

well. i had a great day of eating yesterday. and then the yankees lost and i had a terrible headache and it wasn't the first thing. but i ate chocolate covered ginger, a piece of cheese toast and 2 more pieces pizza. dagnagbit. today, no appetite at all. most likely due to lack of sleep. should make dinner. energy sources dwin.d.l.i.n.g..........

Back on the Wagon

Ok, I fell off the wagon for a while. I've been eating pretty well and exercising a little. My goal of 30 pounds is still in place by May of 2008 bc I am in my bro's wedding where I will be wearing a black spaghetti strap straight type dress. I need to lose weight by then. I want to. Once I seriously get started I usually like it. and it'll raise endorphines and endorphines make you happy, so looks like i'm all set.
