How 'bout that Jess, eh? That little lady is on a great run so far! Making good choices and feeling more spring in her step... Y'know, I was going to post about my day yesterday, but maybe we should just hear from Jessica again? Just because, like, I didn't really have anything noteworthy happen and, uh.....heh heh.....heh.
Ok FINE! I had a terrible day yesterday, alright?! HAPPY NOW??
...Sorry. You didn't deserve that. Let's review: for breakfast I had an egg, tomato and cheese sandwich, for snack I had wholegrain crackers with...cream cheese, for lunch, I had leftover cream of mushroom soup and monterey jack casserole, for supper I had more of the same, and after a couple G&Ts in the evening, I decided the day wasn't salvageable and ate 7 Lindor truffles in a row.
Yes, I am beating myself up. Especially about the truffles. I was doing so well with the sugar, turning down a cinnamon bun and bag of gummy candies at work. The truffles were not worth my pride. I also realized that I need to address this cheese thing sooner than December. It won't be easy, but the dread of eventually giving it up is making me eat more of it now. I'm not a chipmunk; I can't store cheddar in my cheeks and I shouldn't be trying. I'm going to approach it the same way as meat, STARTING TODAY, and be mindful and reduce/eliminate it when I can. I went 6 days without eating cheese in the summer. To see if I could. And I did. I missed it the way I miss Bob Barker's Price is Right: with a nostalgic tenderness. But I survived.
So, today, I woke up and actually did some yoga for the first time in a month. Decided to get some deep breaths and come to terms with myself before facing the day. I feel better in spirit. I am valuable, my decisions are important, and I will hold myself to some good ones. Now off to cook vegetarian chili and set up my art room!
