day one hundred and fifty eight

Today was definitely interesting. Lots of stuff accomplished but unfortunately on Bernie's "hurry up and wait" schedule. It works for him but tends to leave the rest of us scrambling. The stink of me right now is appalling. I power sprayed 10 green bins and manged not to miss myself even once. I actually threw away the shoes I was wearing.

Here's the odd thing I've found out about myself lately. First off, my body now hates crappy food. I mean it actually rebels when I shove in something blechy. I'm speaking here of yesterday's pizza from the Westtown. Last night as I was blogging I felt completely gross and this morning... well, suffice to say, bathroom time was not pretty. Was my body so inured to crap  that it just put up with it? I'm sorry body for all the lousy things I did to you.
The second thing I've noticed is that in the old days (before Jan 1 2011) when I was crazy busy I didn't just eat lousy, I ate high calorie, high sugar, high sodium lousy. Now, when faced with the crazy sched I've had lately I'm eating way too little. In trying to eat better we sometimes gravitate to low fat, fat free stuff. If I'm having trouble getting 1200 calories in per day why am I bothering with low anything? Sour cream? yep... full fat. I'm stewing some rhubarb tonight and thought briefly of using Splenda. Honestly... the whole batch takes less than a quarter cup of sugar... so I'm using the friggin' sugar.

Feels good to understand more about what my body wants. I remember when I first started to blog I talked about the little voice that urged me to pick the right things. I think that voice has established itself and I disregard it at my peril :)
