I've found that a ruby red grapefruit long about 3:00 gives me a nice jolt for the rest of the day. So much so that I am a) down to 2 diet Cokes a day as opposed to 4 and b) down 7 lbs!
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The status is NOT quo.
I can't eat grapefruit because of one of my meds. Phooey. I can, however, eat Trader Joe's freeze-dried mangoes. Mmmmm.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Go, Aimee!
I am stopping at TJs today to pick up dried mangoes, dark chocolate covered raisins and a bag of their dried cherry/blueberry blend for my post-op hospital snackage. I was told to eat a lot of fiber, so....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, dried cherries and blueberries together sounds fab.
Yesterday's Ellen show explained Kelly Preston's dress: John Travolta picked it out. No taste!!

ita convinced me to go eat a tangerine. It was good.
It really is helpful having a regular fruit dropoff at this job. They don't even have a candy/snack machine in this place.

I am like Matt wrt dieting. Trying to be moderate just ends up with me not dieting at all. Tthe trick, for me, is finding a way to be extreme enough to fit my psychological needs yet moderate enough to be something I can stick with long enough to get myself in a healthy range. Atkins worked well for me, but DH is convinced it can't possibly be healthy and freaking him out with my diet doesn't help with keeping me focussed. I'm trying something new starting today, actually.

Red peppers are good. Not sure if I've ever had pea pods.
I think pea pods are what I'm calling snap beans. Ditto on the red peppers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Low-carb works really well for me, but I have to get into the mindset of No White Food Allowed At All. No allowances.
Judging by the scale, I should probably do that.
Shit I Didn't Say: Aw, never mind. It would be much too long a post.

I like baby carrots and sliced zucchini [oh, and peapods] for snacky veggies, but I don't eat them in significant quantities. I'll eat them for a couple of days emthuisiastically, go out and byuy a whole binch, and then lose my taste for them. I often rely on a glass of veggie juice to get my daily allowance, which is tasty, and better than nothing nutritionally, but not optimal. I've toyed with the idea of getting those dried Just Veggies to snack on as the not going bad aspect of them appeals to me, but haven't really followed through.
