Still alive, but boy am I jonesin!

I see that snack machine there in the corner at work. I look at it longingly, resisting the urge to buy just one thing. Oh look, a Zinger, I love those, what could one hurt? But wait, maybe a snickers bar, surely that is alright isn’t it? Maybe that bag of chips; look they are baked instead of fried; I know thats good for me now!

I have resisted.

My beverage of choice has been either green tea or ginger ale, both all natural. Sometimes I treat myself with a cup of organic coffee with some stevia in it for sweetness. I am not totally on it yet as my meals are still not the best but they are cut down quite a bit for me. Just cutting out the snacks and the portions has done some good.

I will do a weight report soon. My results have been a little bit skewed, in other words I’m not sure they are entirely correct. At any rate I am surviving and that is half the battle for me.

Oh yeah, I love Saturday…

Wait what, it’s Monday already? Oh fudge!

Is it just my imagination or are the weekends getting shorter. Seems like you just get into it and then it is gone. Not that anything really great came of this weekend. No photos were taken, not much time with the family, and no large amounts of food were consumed!

Speaking of food, I have had a new complication. I now have to eat something fairly quickly or I lose my appetite. That is from the time I think about eating it to the time I take the last bite, has to be quick! My wife said she would love to have that problem, I don’t think she would like it if she had it. It is unpleasant and annoying to get something you really like and then not be able to finish it. I love food, and to have this happen is, well, devastating. You might as well rip out my heart. I lost my ability to enjoy coffee almost a year ago and now food is trying to go the same route.

Well at least I wasn’t left hanging!
