I am trying to avoid over-eating and it is as hard as I remember it being. I want to go and stuff my face full of sweet, icing coated cake, cupcakes, sugar drenched cereals and pretty much anything else along those lines.
I've managed to avoid doing that so far by the simple expedient of not keeping anything like that in the house (until today when someone gave me a package of chocolate brownie bites and I am trying to be careful with those since 2 of the little things = 220 calories! Eeeeeee!Somehow a candy bar seems like a better deal!). I'm going to pick up some baby carrots at Aldi on sunday and those along with the gala apples & bananas help me to dampen the sweet cravings.
Harley is improving, since she's now roaming around the house and picking play fights with Electra. That is a good thing, although I have to break them up since all the bald bits on Harley mean she'd be more likely to get damaged and I want her to be okay.
I tried to get some sewing done today--although with the cats all racing over my fabric (I had to lay it out on the kitchen floor) it equaled an exercise in frustration. I got the first layer of everything cut out and I'll try to sew it together tomorrow. It's the first time I am trying to make something to fit me with regard to my weight loss. It's a lot of trial and error since my duct-tape dummy is now bigger than I am so I can use that to make the draft patterns but then I have to make a muslin and put it on myself and try to alter it while looking in the mirror on the porch. (The only mirror in the house is in the bathroom and I am too short to see anything of me in it except for my nose and top of my head (unless I want to balance on the edge of the tub while touching the ceiling--its a bizarre little bathroom).
Annnnnnnyway... I've just drunk some more water and think that drinking so much more water than I used to is a big part of why I am better able to resist eating crap. I've got a crap ton of eggs in the fridge (I'm not an egg person, but being on a very tight budget right now, that's the main protein) that I am mostly poaching in the nuker. I'm debating making some lentil soup this week. maybe.
