Speaking of Fast....

The Fast Florida Footies are finished....phew...

Speaking of fast, anyone know how I can lose about 20 lbs in the next few hours? I volunteered to be part of an educational video at work...
If the camera adds 10 pounds, then oh dear......

I plan to : Have good hair and makeup and hope the lighting is dim ....
perhaps I can ask the producer for a scene edit.....

What color lipstick goes best with Fat? Any help is appreciated.

I'm just joking you know. I do have some weight to lose and am started on
the journey...
that's what we call it now right? A journey...not a DIET.

Why do all the good things have to be bad for you?
I love salted nuts......
clearly giving up the potato chip thing until Mid August was not enough to
offset the Door County temptations.

I sincerely tried to drink Diet pepsi last night and nearly aspirated from
the choking that ensued.....

I've even found a way to knit and eat messy things at the same time...
did you know you can eat Cheetos, baked of course, with a fork? This way you
can keep knitting without the feared freaky orange fingertips....

It is what it is. I think Im a bit too good at this acceptance thing...
It was just last summer, as I recall, that I couldnt eat at all for 8 weeks
with anxiety. I dropped all kinds of weight...but in the worst possible way.

I'd rather be fat and happy.....well, happy anyhow!!!

Give me just one tip for my JOURNEY....
(ahhh, yes, another opportunity for growth.......yippee)

My goal is to drink a V-8 fruit and veggie drink today...
without choking.....

HAhahahaha... Cheetos with a fork! I love it. Might have to use that...

Tip: Water based fruit is your friend. Tomatoes, melons, etc. I find that my best weight loss weeks come when I have at least two servings of such daily!

Cheetos with a fork! hahaha! I hadn't thought of that.
anyway... think of it as life changing habits, not a diet. Don't forget it takes time to make or change a habit.

I taken repeated "journeys," but never seem to get to the destination. I have started on yet another path: this time medically monitored - no drugs, thank you very much. So far, so good. At least I'm moving in the right direction, but the destination is still a loooong way off.

My downfall is cashews with sea salt. I am hooked on diet Pepsi so I try to limit myself to three a day because of that whole calcium and bones thing.

Tip? I drink lots of tea and as SissySees said eat lots of water based fruit but I have the feeling that any weight loss I have from it is purely water loss.

Love the sockies!! Must make some.

For me it has been giving up white products--no rice, no pasta no white flour, no sugar (some honey or raw sugar) nothing processed. Lots of fruits like Chan said, lots of veggies--including zucchini, green beans, yellow beans, sweet potatoes, tomato and cucumbers.

No artifical sweetners ever, no synthetically made oils--usually only olive oil and I try to avoid known GMO foods. And any animal meat that is fed antibiotics, hormones or known GMO grain.

I am not perfect but it is my life journey, started many years too late but at least started at all!

I don't know --- the Cheetos with a fork is way above my pay grade.

That was super fast! they look super cute!

I have to say - I'm not very good with diets/journeys. The minute I go on one, I seem to crave all the unhealthy foods. My personal mantra is everything in moderation! And exercise.

Ps - If you want to knit a "lacy" shawl - Gingko is a good choice as it has a lot of stockinette and the lace part is only 20 or so rows. I knitted mine in sock weight yarn and it came out small. Maybe knit it in a sportweight yarn?

Diet drinks are better with a splash of lemon in them. The best diet drink is Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Good luck on your journey.

Nuts are good for you even the salted ones if you don't eat too many. Try Pepsi One or Coke Zero. They taste a lot better than the regular diet versions.

My journey advice? Skip "diet" anything! Drink water and un-sweetened ice tea...if you make good tea it doesn't need sweetening. Eat what the season provides, which is awesome at this time of year...yummy veggies and fruits galore!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
