1. Ralph and I went to Chili's for a Friday night date...I really wanted some chicken strips and fries (Sarah I think you can relate). Anyway, by the time I had two small strips and a few fries I felt done and almost too full. Had dessert anyway and came home feeling just gross!
2. One of my co-workers brought Banbury Cross donuts in to celebrate her birthday. I didn't get to them early enough to grab a maple bar - they were already gone, but I probably would have eaten it and then regretted it. What was left didn't even look good to me. So I didn't have any.
3. I hate that I would rather have a protein shake with fruit, than a piece of french toast slathered with butter and syrup for breakfast
4. I love the way I feel when I eat right
5. I hate that I can't eat as much
6. I love the way my clothes fit
7. I hate not being able to have Halloween candy around the house - I would eat it!
8. I love setting goals, sticking to them, and seeing the results of my diligence.
9. I hate not being able to bake. This is the best time of year for baking -pumpkinney, warm, gooey, cinnamonny goodies. It's killing me. I keep tyring to come up with reasons to cook and then give it away - just so I can have a taste. It doesn't work - the goodies never leave the house.
Anyway I think you get my point.
Silly me has loaded the schedule again. This time mostly with stampin projects. I have 35 table favors to make for my Mothers RS Fall dinner (I volunteered and am ok with it) I have birthday cards for October to make. I have a stamp a stack in just a little over a week. Gotta get moving on that project - so much paper cutting. We are hosting a dinner next weekend as well. If you know us - we don't do things small scale so that mixed with the stamp a stack weekend should keep me busy. I also will...with tomorrow being the first post, start the 12 week countdown for Christmas with project samples. I know you can hardly wait. (secret...I already have my Christmas card designed - yes I know that is a little ambitious, but that way I get them done in time to send out)
Well - gotta get moving
Ta Ta for now
Oooooooo, man!! Can I SOOOO relate to this or WHAT??? (remember my Italian Chef story??) I just wish that SOMEthing were making the numbers go down ... they seem to have been stalled for the past week ... sigh ... maybe you and I can have a protein shake toast when I am done with this ding-a-ling diet next week!!
