I'm doing so well for the most part with food. The girl's birthday was vegan but pretty fatty...a friend cooked and I ate. No bday cake though and that was just fine. I noticed the next day that I had cravings for fried chicken. So I just got back to it and the cravings passed and I'm all good now.
Last night....Friday night....the night everyone knows drags me under in the past was all good. I got the E2 pizza crust and made a Mexican style pizza with refried beans, pico, cruciferous crunch with kale and other veggies from Trader Joes(omg it gets crispy and delish!), cilantro, red bell pepper, and garnished with avo...not too much but enough to give it some pizza creaminess. It was the Shaz! (don't ask just makin shit up)
Now...the drinking needs some work..alcohol and coffee. Too often this past week. So none for the weekend. Well...a little coffee. I just can't totally give that up...nothing better than sitting on my couch on Sat morn when I don't have to go anywhere or rush to do anything and just sipping that coffee. But the alcohol just isn't necessary to relax and so I'm praticing relaxing without. This past week I realized once again that I was stressed with the girl's surgery and everything else and was using it again to relax. I don't want the fucking calories! Plus I know the health risks.
So...speaking of health...it is clearly getting better and I am pleased. I have to say though that my brain is quieter in that those pesky debilitating cravings are just waning as long as I stay the course. I just don't think about SAD so much. I love that! And I need to remember how much I love it.
My plan for the weekend is to make Berbere stew, prep salad veggies, bake potatoes, make a dressing and sauce, and perhaps a quiche for the girl from the FOK magazine. She needs some richer food.
