Happy and food

I've been trying hard to eat only when hungry, and to eat things that are good for me..i wear a blue ring that i've had for years. somehow this ring evokes an emotion in me...one that makes me want to try hard to be as good to myself as possible. So I often stroke the ring and think good thoughts.
Then when i feel the "urge" to eat something that I'm not really hungry for, or that might make me feel tired, sick, or low...i rub the ring again.

Weird i know. but somehow it feels right.

Shoes

Today marks the first time I've ever purchased a shoe specifically for exercising. I typically buy the all-purpose tennis show that I wear on weekends and on the rare occasion that I exercise. Frankly, buying a size 11 shoe at any mall is a huge PIA. I look at boxes vs. style. But I found a nice gray/pink pair. My fav!

* Note to self: return library book soon (The Perfect Weight)...the library will be calling soon. At this rate, I could have purchased the book for less money than I'll need to pay the fine. *

Bringing back POTATOS

As summer is wrapping up, i'm being presented with gifts from my parents' garden, and one of the best of those is home grown Potato's.

I don't know if you noticed, but unless you are eating @ a steak house, potatos aren't around a whole lot anymore.

do not fear this "white" starch. The silly carb fear-mongers lumped it into high glycemic stuff, but whatever. Eat it with the peel, in it's natural form (not as chips :-) and it's extremely good for you.

EAT POTATOs!! :-)

Intentions..walk every day until Hawaii and do some core strengthening every day..bare minimum

will report back...so far 2 days in...we're doin' good ;-)
