Dieting faux pas

This was an interesting article. Funny though, they don't mention anything about salt and sour cravings. I've been careful about what I eat and how much and I exersize every day but every now and then I NEEEEEEEEEED salt or vinegar. Too bad that doesn't taste good by itself huh? No, I need it on chips or french fries. Sometimes I eat a salad drenched in salt and vinegar but my lettuce looked a little peaked. Unfortunately, my husband bought some salt and vinegar pringles for Jared. Yup, I ate them. I didn't eat them all but at 150 calories for only 6 chips I ate at least 10 miles worth! UGH. I'm off to the garage to work out.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I have my baby tonight! Sweet little kay-shee (Linda's daughter but MY baby hehe)

Blah.

Why do I feel so sad sometimes? I have no reason to feel sad but all my thoughts have this negative spin and I feel like a plane plummeting to the ground a million miles an hour. I have all these dreams that I want to pursue but just don't quite have the power to really go after them. It's like I look out the window and see everything I want and all I have to go is get up and go get it...... but I just don't ever make it. I want it all so badly too. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Tonight as I'm sitting here typing the air is blowing in the window and the night is perfect. It is such a beautiful summer evening. My kids are sleeping, my husband is sleeping, the dog is snoring at my feet.... there is nothing to cause me to feel so sad. I don't even feel like reading or gardening. I just feel blah.

This is so unlike me. I usually can never sit still but now all I want to do is sit around and do nothing. Just gather dust. I think I'll go to my doctor and have her do a checkup. I think something is amiss.

Quote of the day

Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.
— Doug Larson

I called into the Flyshow on world talk radio and talked to nutritionist Leann Ely about my Jack Sprat family. Riley and his dad wont eat any veggies hardly (except Chris eats potatoes and Riley eats corn) and Jared loves veggies but doesn't like meat. I will eat anything!! Well, I was hoping she would tell me the magic words to get them to eat better but she bacially told me I need to just have a family meeting and tell them we are going to start eating healthier. They might not like everything but they have to eat it anyway. I don't know how that is going to go but we will see. I'm going to take it slow and introduce one thing at a time. I'll try out some new recipes and God help me, we'll get them eating better!

Welcome
