Getting Back on Track

2008 Story Set

Date: May 17, 2008
      I am back on my Medifast - I had run out - Medifast oatmeal packet and some fresh blackberries (must get to SD - mine down there coming in).
     
      I stopped at the vet and got another bag and flat of K/D - dog eats while I am working ----.
     
      Dropped check at bank.
     
      Came in to work with a banana (not on the diet but I need potassium), and a bar (like cardboard), and a diet soda (no aspartaim or however you spell that - Trader Joe's carries it and Lucky does ), or I may have one of the " I am going to use them up and never buy them again" sodas but they are going away fast.
     
      A packet of soy chips (official snack).
     I have now put a box of All Bran crackers - Garlic and spices in the office - 17 of them is a 100 cal snack. They taste good and have another function (keep things moving).
     
      I have turkey fillets cooked with Vasalia onions, Elephant Garlic and green bell peppers in Olive Oil with pepper - low salt for dinner - so I won't "cook" at night too often.
     
      No more ice cream pig out (once in a year not bad).
      Put choc chips into awkward place in fridge - have to work to find them (if not in house I will go crazy - but I can resist them).
      No more peanut butter in the house - either - I think.
      Loosing taste for raw nuts (when they raised my Thyroid - my cravings went down --- interesting to note - I was eating to stay on my feet).
     
      I got veggies and sprouted Rye bread - not Wheat - allowed 1 slice when having an egg for breakfast instead of their oatmeal.
      House has Cheerios and All Bran and Special K and 2% milk.
      If I have a food fit - I have a bowl of one of them - works very well.
     
      So - back in the saddle - got to get down under size 16 (I am in size 14-16 pants - loose - and the tops are the problem - I thought I had these things reduced once!)
      It's the spare tire over the waist and the interesting roll that travels the edges of the titanium abdomen that need to go away.
      (Scar tissue???) buldges over the hip bone - looks hideous.
     
      I need to force myself into panty hose and Spanx.
     
      I tried high-heels --- not yet - am in a slightly higher heel "nurses" shoe - in black with my orthodics in them.
      My other ones were fading ----- time to replace them ($100 a pair).
      I also have these (same brand - higher heel) and light brown/tan ones I forget to wear - all from the same place.
     
      I died my hair DARK RED BROWN - DARK DARK DARK.
     
      Need to lighten up with frosting in a couple of days ----- (I did).
     
      I have decided gray was not my look (neither is dark brown).
     
      Frosting it is.
     
      I contacted the Sheila people - I want to do an article on their judging score sheet and judging guidelines for my chapter.
      The person I had to contact --- was a Fabio fan I email regularly - hilarious
     
      I am the driver for the Prepare to Pitch conference - 2009 - May 1 -2-3 my writing chapter doing.
      Oh Lord - why didn't I shut up? All that so I could meet with an editor and I STILL OWE her a synopsys for Plain Jane!
