Random thoughts about the week

Next week is going to be eventful... Our 6 year dating anniversary is Tuesday. My grandmother goes in for her 3rd back surgery in 3 years on Wednesday (and she almost died last time, so I'm on edge). Our 4 year wedding anniversary and Halloween is Thursday. My 4-day anniversary workless weekend starts Thursday as well. We haven't really decided what we are doing for our anniversary, but I took time off anyways. We might just go see Carrie at the movies.

Yesterday I started ACE, an appetite suppressant and energy booster. A friend of mine sells it and sent me samples. Work seemed to go faster yesterday, and I didn't eat a whole lot. Today I had my massage therapy appt (an hour and a half of bliss and healing, oh so necessary in my life), and instead of being tired afterwards, I'm awake and thinking about what I want to do with my time. I'm working a half day, then going home and maybe I'll go to the park and walk. The weather is beautiful today.

I also started green coffee bean extract, which I have noticed as a primary ingredient in a lot of weight loss supplements. I started them about 5 days ago, but have eaten a lot of chocolate since then, so I'm not getting on the scale yet. I figured I'd do that once every other week.

I've got a lot of cooking to do, though, so I might skip the walk and give myself more time to cook. I'm prepping some meals before the produce goes bad. Crock pot green bean and asparagus casserole with homemade mushroom soup, Sauteed asparagus and mushrooms with goat cheese on gluten free yummy breakfast bagels, baked chicken for salads, and whatever else I come up with. I'm going to do more prepping over the weekend when I have more time, but I'm going to get started with the produce that won't last as long. I already lost my tatsoi, sadly. Maybe I'll get more in next week's box. I am going to commit to prepping once a week for the food the rest of the week. That way even when I don't want to do anything, I can just grab something out of the fridge.

Whenever I get paid, I like to buy things online. It's kind of because every time we get the mail and there's a package, it feels like my birthday. What better reason that making yourself happy? Hubs sent me a pic of what was in the mail today - 4 boxes! I don't even remember what they all are, but I'll find out later tonight when I open them :) I know that my new polka dot phone case is in one, and new Halloween rubber ducks for Hubs' collection are in another.

Food Allergy Test Results

I was in for a surprise when I got my food allergy test results this past Wednesday. For the few days prior, my thoughts were wrought with fear that I may be allergic to garlic or nuts. I even started designing my garlic and nut super-villain tattoos. Thankfully those weren't on my list. The shock came with the 29 other items on my list! Moderate allergies Baker’s and brewer's yeast Pineapple Vanilla White mushroom Sensitivities Broccoli Buttermilk Carrots Casein Celery Cilantro Cinnamon Cod Dates Iceberg lettuce Kiwi Lamb Millet Onion Oregano Parsley Plum Potato Raspberry Rosemary Sage Strawberry Swiss cheese Turkey I was upset to see so many yummy foods on the list, including my go-to meat, turkey, and some of my usual spices. I was glad to see celery and onions, though. I’ve detested them for years and I always get laughed at for hating onions. Now I have a legitimate reason for hating them! I can live with this list. Well, I...

Diet and School updates

Dietary Change update: It's been about a month and a half now since I went vegetarian. It has been so easy for me. I really thought it was going to be hard, but I don't even miss meat that much. I'd be losing weight if I stopped eating peanut butter m&ms. I ran out of those last night and don't plan on asking Hubs to buy me any more. I hope to start seeing some weight disappear then. Thanksgiving has been the first holiday since I made this change, and I figured I might cheat and eat a little turkey. But Dad said that he's making a ham instead, and I hate ham, so it's a win-win situation! I'm making my usual from scratch green bean casserole - yum! School update: I finished my Anatomy and Physiology course with a final grade of 96. Woohoo! I've started my next class, Natural Heath and Nutrition. It focuses on the foods we eat that are beneficial for us and I'm really excited to learn more. This is exactly why I wanted to study nutrition! I ...

What's Your Song? Thursday - Aug 18, 2011
