So this past Sunday was the day I set to begin eating better. I've been doing good so far. The only thing I think I've had too much of is "light" trail mix. The difference is there's no chocolate in this mix. I bought a crapload of premixed bagged salads on Sunday. I did grocery shopping like I was receiving LINK again! A cart for my things and a cart for my mom's. God Bless the making of Aldi! I have a lot of fruit that I AM eating. I'm on bag #3 of the salads and I'm back to increasing my water intake. Since I will be on winter break for the next 2 weeks I will have time to rest up which probably isn't a good thing but being morbidly obese tends to drain your energy even when you're just walking up a few flights of stairs.

This evening I made some KICKASS shrimp stir-fry with brown rice! It was SOOOOOOOOO GOOD had very little soy sauce used; what I did use was low sodium. I think the bad parts were the little bit of cornstarch in water I used to thicken up the bit of water which also had a tad bit of sugar in it. I did have a 1 cup dry measuring cup filled with that mix and it had maybe 1/2 or less a teaspoon of sugar in it...and I didn't use all of it. Maybe used about 6 tablespoons?

It was very good...that's all I can say. I'm a dern good cook but sometimes my stirfries don't come out too well; too much salt, not enough sugar to offset the salt, overcooked stirfry, undercooked rice. So yes, this was very good! yay me!

So, anyway, I'm really trying to stick with this but I've said that many times before. I've said that I'm going to give up the candy and the junk because while "experts" say you shouldn't say NO to treats but have them in moderation...I can't do that...or I don't. Either way, one becomes 3 becomes 10 becomes all! Then I'm feeling bad...usually I'm feeling bad before I've finished them all anyway but I eat through the bad, past the fullness, through the stomach pain.

I'm going to try to look beyond the slow weightloss no matter how fast I put it on! Why oh why is it harder to take if off than put it on? It's the opposite of that when I'm dealing with clothes! NO NO NO. I mean, getting dressed early in the morning to head off to work . . putting on, not easy, but taking off when I get home or am getting ready for bed...EASY! I'm about to relax or sleep!

Welp, I have to wash my hair so it's not scurvy tomorrow if I will have anywhere to go! This snow and ice that's coming our way has my son's daycare school and my school opening up in a toss up!
