Dietary Update

Truth be told--and what else would I tell you on this blog?-- I have been playing fast and loose with the rules of my diet.  It WAS low carb Atkins and then morphed into Eat For Your Blood Type (allowing me sweet potatoes and pineapple) and then back into the NO Flour/ NO Sugar diet.

Loose is not a play on words here.  My bowels didn't take to the change.  And that's all I am saying about that.  

The baked brown rice is going into the compost bucket. (can't eat that)  The frozen (vintage 2011) zucchini chocolate brownie is going into the garbage can ( I sliced off a 1/2 inch by 2 inch piece and from that moment to this I have been craving the remainder of the brownie-- serious carb cravings developed that fast)).  The off brand black olives--gone.

Breakfast was bacon and an EggBeater scramble of onions, peppers, cheese and kale.  To say it was disgusting is to limit the depth of my dislike.  I just cannot eat another egg.

Lunch today will be whole milk Greek yogurt with fresh Bing cherries.  G bought two huge bags at Walmart.  I need to start pitting them.  Or I will just continue having the yogurt with a bland pile of pineapple (I picked a bad one) and the last of my blueberries.

The next two weeks I will be taking two days off each.  Along with my regular two days off that will give me a nice three day run on both weekends (Saturday to Monday) and I will get to spend Thursday and Sunday with G for those two weeks.  Just like a "vacation".  The business is gearing up for the next season.  Sales on perennials.  The mums come in.  Fall classes.  Halloween.  Pumpkins.

I am not sure how things will work out.  I don't feel as sure footed at work as I usually do.  Like I have an undermining enemy.  Could be an actual person or could be me. I can be my own worst enemy.  This is the time when seasonal employees either go away or become permanent.  I never know how I will feel about this.  Customers have been asking about classes and if I will be teaching.  I am honest.  I say I don't know.  I wish I did.
