Feb. 22nd, 2006 10:43 amYesterday the cloud finally lifted.
I don't know if it's that my body finally adjusted to the new way of eating, or if it's the supplements I'm taking...or if I somehow got thrown back into the good universe again, but I feel better.
Like, a lot better. :-)
Starkitty seems to be adjusting well to the change. My mother-in-law said she woke up this morning to find Star curled up on her bed. That made me feel better. And as terrible as it sounds, it feels really good to have one less creature here for which I'm responsible. Dave said that Star's climbing into all the boxes there and investigating the whole apartment. I think she'll like having more cool weather there, too.
Last night I made 'crabby patties' for dinner and Daniel ate them up. Unbeknownst to him they were actually zucchini fritters. I felt alternately bad (for lying) and really good (for getting him to eat veggies).
I haven't been writing in here all that much other than the food tracking posts, which I'm considering making private. I don't want to clutter up people's friends pages...and I don't think you're reading them...but the fact that any of my friends on here *could* read them at any moment, creates a subtle pressure, against, say, scarfing down the rest of the cookies that are stashed in the kitchen cabinet, out of reach of the kids. (Not because they don't eat them--they do--but so they don't eat an entire package the way they would if they had more immediate access.) So I hope I'm not annoying anyone by creating extra entries. Overall, I think this is a really good thing for me.
I haven't been counting calories or anything...my rule can loosely be articulated as 'Don't eat crap.' This isn't my saying, but one in a book my mom bought about aging better; nevertheless, there's a truth there, however simply and crudely stated. The thing is, I know what I'm supposed to eat and not eat, overall...the trick is in making better choices, and I think I'm doing that. I could fit a little more protein into my diet (and from more diverse sources than peanut or almond butter, heh). I'm working on that.
I'm going to be sad to miss pagan group tonight. I feel really connected to everyone after last week's ritual.
I wish I had more exciting things to write about. Most of my creative energy went to the meme in the last post, which was a lot of fun. I need to continue writing poetry--perhaps not the feverish one-a-day pace of January...but I know that I feel best when I'm writing.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musewoozle was right about that, at least.
