ONE WEEK BEHIND ME!

I'll have to look in my archives and see if I've used this title before since I started to type One and this is what popped up as something that had previously been typed in that field. Regardless, I FEEL FABULOUS about my success for this past week of starting my better eating again! There were two occasions (tues. and fri. evenings) where I could have very quickly fall off the wagon due to the food that was provided at these small receptions. I'm VERY happy about that. So, I just need to add a lot more exercise into my days. With all of that, I should be able to fit into this black dress hanging on the door in November for my lil "look what I've accomplished" celebration I plan to have. And won't it be so nice to be able to shop inside of stores for my clothes instead of having to order my larger sizes online? There ARE stores where I can shop right now but the clothes are a lil snug but even after I drop the pounds they're still so expensive! I'd like to be able to get some clothes at Walmart again. A "new favorite" even though I haven't bought a thing from them yet, is Old Navy. They have my size online but not in the stores. I want to oooo la la of shopping in the store and walking out with my merchandise! That reminds me, I need to make that list don't I? Not avoiding it, just forgetting to.

AAAaaaah, so yesterday I was awake for so long that I had some trail mix but I only had half my usual serving..and a glass of skim milk.

Today was another pretty lazy day aside from going out early this morning to water all the container plants, new young shrubs and all the rose bushes. I'm sure once we have the new fence installed I'll plant some more roses! However, if I ever get to move out of here and get my own house, all of those plants I put my sweat (and some blood) into to planting and caring for!

Anyway, I have a roaster chicken and fryer chicken marinating in jerk seasoning in the fridge overnight. I made some pasta w/tuna and a tomato-cucumber-onion salad. I'm not sure if I'm going to make anything else to go with all of that. I do have some old pasta sauce I need to use if it's still good. So maybe I'll make some spaghetti. Ah, we need to get a cabbage and some carrots for the slaw! Diet or not, gotta have the slaw!!! AAAARGH! better add that to my list...but I don't see a pen. rats. I'm guessing I'll remember it, I do have to go to the store tomorrow anyway to get some wood chunks. Tomorrow outta be fun...we haven't used the bbq grills since like 2005 when we had a bbq for my gran'mother's 88th birthday. It's somewhere on that porch...probably not cleaned since 05! Probably better off just buying a new, larger, Webber grill that has a grill rack that has a flip up section for adding wood or charcoal after the rack has been put back on and the food is already added I'm sure I could find just the rack somewhere though.

Okay, so, we had a late dinner tonight of chicken tacos. They were good and I made only enough for tonight...no leftovers. Sick of leftovers that may never be eaten or that I might gorge on later.

I'm sleepy now which is good because I've got a . . . day ahead of me.
