Okay, so I had a bit of an epiphany the other night. I was gorging on this cherry coffee cake whilst eating lemon cookies and wondering what I was going to have for dinner when a voice came to me and said, “throw it away!” Even more astounding is that I did it. Good bye!
I woke up with such a migraine the next day I couldn’t get out of bed until after 1:00. I mean I hadn’t had a migraine that bad since….oh about 1992. I remember that one cuz I was at work and ended up on the floor in the bathroom with the lights out and moaning. So anyway, I was in bed and moaning, not for any good reason either, and thinking I’ve got to treat myself better. And it’s gonna take a major committment on my part.
So I am back on Fitday and I have plans to make it stick this time. I like fitday because it helps me keep track of how I’m eating and how I’m using my calories. I just sort of stopped when I stopped exercising - but even though I can’t really exercise right now, that doesn’t give me a license to go all hog wild.
I guess that’s part of the problem. I’ve always been able to lose weight with exercise and not have to monitor too closely what I eat. Now I get the chance to fix that problem and I have to look at it positively. So I am.
On another note, my sugar-induced semi-coma produced an interesting dream. Julie Andrews was critiquing my screenplay (I am writing one - but mum’s the word, ‘kay?) and she really liked it. And she was telling all the other people who submitted that theirs wasn’t as good as mine. She just couldn’t tell me enough how much she liked my dialogue. And how much she liked me now that we had finally met. In fact, Julie and I were so simpatico that we communicated telepathically.
