Christmas is put away, and rapidly fading into memory. We went to our last party last night--an annual staff Epiphany party. (We can't really have a staff Christmas party. Much like retail workers, church workers work more and harder in December than any other time.)
I am in a long stall with my weight loss efforts. I think moving forward from this point is going to take some serious focus, so I'm working on drumming that up.
I'm thinking about getting another kitty so Mickey won't be lonely (although frankly, he seems thrilled to be an only child), but I don't feel quite ready to do it. I'm not through mourning for Bubsy yet.
It is sunny and windy here, and predicted to get near 80 degrees. Forgive me, midwesterners, but I just don't miss midwestern winters at all. I hope you all thaw very soon.
That's all!

i am so jealous of your 80 degrees. i would take 40 at this point.
Verb, you've done so well with your eating. Maybe you just need to coast for a little while to get yourself going again?
you know, when i've had a day where i know that i've just done crap for myself eating wise, i sit down and reassess and then tell myself that one bad day doesn't need to be a bad week. if i let myself have a bad week, i can make it a bad months and then on i'll undo all my work. what really helps me is finding a new cookbook and picking out, then cooking the food. I recently got a nice cookbook full of soup and sandwhich/wrap recipes. i don't eat the wrap or sandwhiches, but i LOVE soup, so i've been making a new soup every few days and deciding if i should tweak it or now. Today's soup was a turkey sausage, stwewd tomato and navy bean soup that was okay, i used broth instead of the water they called for, and that made it better.
maybe you just need to find a new way to eat the same foods, or find new foods that fit into your atkins lifestyle?
since i started eating better, i've tried foods that i'd never heard of or thought i'd ever eat, and i actually like many of them. when things get boring or worn out, you gotta spice them up.
just thinking of my sisters, aunts, nice and then looking at my daughter really keeps me in line. i want better for mandolin than i ever had, and i don't want to become my mom or her sisters, and my heart literally bleeds for my niece. they really fuel my determination to complete my weight-loss goals this year.
good luck, thanks for the update.
