Yeah yeah yeah.. here I sit.. 11.30 pm.. hyped on coffee..I guess I really should have known better than to actually brew a pot at 8.30 and drink the WHOLE thing.. the thing is .. I am so dilusional about time.. since punching a time clock hasnt been in the daily routine ....I just dont bother to keep up with it .. I supposed maybe I should keep up with the time and day so I dont say.. show up at Michael's at 11 am on Sunday thinking it should be open..because I seriously think maybe its Monday..
Have I mentioned lately how much I love pudding.. I might well be the perfect solution to the sweet tooth I have.. I just tried the Jell-o brand fat free sugar free kind.. I know you are all groaning at this.. but I had to try it.. and I have to say .. its not bad.. I usually have this thing with artificial sweetners and no fat stuff.. but seriously its not bad... I am trying to readjust my eating again since I hit this plateau .. so I started using Splenda.. which is also not a bad compromise.. and I am doing a closer watch on my fat and carb intake.. I am a carb junkie.. there is no way I could do Atkins ( well more reasons than that but I digress) ..I dont believe in cutting out one single aspect of ones diet anyway.. I try to eat right.. go to the gym etc but sometimes you just have to cut a little more.. I just want 30 more pounds.. a feasible goal by any means.. unless of course you have the metabolism of a snail like I do and could eat celery til I died and gain weight..at any rate.. more cuts in the eating.. I wont say I am on a diet because this is a total life change not just some temporary thing to get this weight off then go binge eat.. I also dont say diet because IF I want cheesecake I will have some.. I just try to make better choices for myself..
At any rate I seriously need to try to get back on some sort of sleep schedule because I also need to get back to going to the gym on some sort of regular basis..and since the classes I like are at 9.45 am seems to me the wise choice would be to go to bed early enough to get up and be half human by the time I need to go.. but staying up til 4 am is not condusive to that.. how did I get so fucked up ? wait ..I have always been like that so its really no surprise to me.. trying to get organized to me is the hardest thing ever.. I am just not wired to be on some strict schedule.. I wish I were.. life would be easier.. maybe I am afraid life would just be boring if suddenly I was some sort of organized on a schedule neat and tidy kind of person.. maybe I am scared it would take my "fly by the seat of my pants" essence away .. who the hell knows.. I can say this and truly mean it
MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE BORING.. and my friends will attest to that .. because I would like to think to some degree because I am around their lives are a little more interesting.. or maybe I am just a huge pain in the ass.. I like my reasoning better !

Here's a suggestion for your non-diet. I can not for the life of me remember where I read it, other than some magazine about 6 years ago.... but I tried it and it works.
It's kinda a substitution for Atkins really. You don't cut carbs out of your diet (I'd starve!) what you do is NOT eat carbs at the same meal as meat. It has something to do with the rate your stomach breaks it all down and stuff. Anyway, you can eat meat and veggies, or veggies and carbs but not meat and carbs together.
So what I did was at dinner time I'd pick meat or carbs, and whichever didn't get picked got to be my lunch the next day with the leftover veggies (there's almost always a serving left over at our house anyway so it works well) There was no limit on how much/little to eat (I'd do terribly with rationing lol) it was all about combinations.
I did this for a couple of months and dropped to my goal weight. Of course, I've since put it back on, and then some, lol. I've been thinking of starting this eating habit again. I have about 20 pounds to shed myself.
Something else I've learned. Eat breakfast. I am not usually a breakfast eater, never have been. But I read (again somewhere I don't remember) that eating breakfast helps you loose weight. I kinda believe it because the pounds I want to shed have developed since I stopped eating a morning meal. When summer hit I just couldn't force myself to eat much. Too dang hot. So in addition to the eating habit change I plan to re-introduce my body to morning fuel other than coffee lol.
I'm with you on the diet thing. I just can't do it. I can change my eating habits though. I can make myself eat smaller-than-farmhand-sized portions *g* too. that helps lol. It's my weakness. When I enjoy something I tend to eat to much of it.
Good luck!

Hellooo it is I david. :) I love to cook. The problem that comes with loving to cook is, that I also love to eat. I try to eat as healthy as possible. At one point though, I had gained about 15 lbs that I wanted off. So, I quit drinking or eating sugar. The only thing I drink now other than water is green tea with splenda. Splenda OWNZ that stuff is a miracle. Anyway, I'm steady at 205 and I think I owe it all to those little packets of white powdery goodness. :)

Holy double posts batman. hehehehehe Yeah I'm a coffee junkie too. I need to stop so much. Might be why I'm getting my headaches. I just have a sleeping problem. I wish I could sleep normal and be refreshed in the morning. But I bet that will never be. LOL

Mmmmmmmmmmm coffee..but then from my blog we all know of my ongoing addiction. I just don't drink it at night. Some of us do keep track of the time. LOL
Changing of eating habits. Girl you know what the elf and I have acomplished if you want some help let me know. The key to carbs is changing the type of carbs you intake. Anyway won't go into it here as there will be pleanty of people who will disagree and have fits...but in this household almost 375lbs lost, I think we've got it right.
Love ya
