Honey, someone shrunk my pants
~*~
I started a diet today. Well, not necessarily a diet but definitely a more responsible eating regime. It feels quite necessary after this past celebratory week of a holiday, 2 birthdays, and an impromptu family reunion. The last week included really good birthday cake, 3 cookouts (the best BBQ ribs I have ever eaten), 1 picnic (fried chicken, not franchise chicken either but perfectly prepared in a cast iron skillet), 1 bonfire/weiner roast (and s’mores!), 2 family breakfasts (southern gravy/biscuits) and 1 Mexican food fiesta. Somewhere in all that carnage I recall a chocolate fountain which coated strawberries and angel food cake quite nicely. I'm not saying I ate all of the above but I did sample freely. Add to that some stellar dining from the week before in Orlando and yeah, it’s time to muster up some discipline. I did try to attone for my gluttony on Saturday by taking 2 long walks and a hike. Of course, the exercise just increased my appetite.
*still hungry after a salad for lunch*
