Sunday morning
I feel so sick today.
Woke up in one of my "dizzy" modes. Every once in a while I wake up dizzy for some reason. It usually goes away as the day goes on so I don't want to worry.
But today I want to do something about my diet - the stuff I put into my body. I have been way too often putting sweets with empty calories and too much fat in there.
I want to make a list of "good" foods and "bad" foods (trigger foods - foods that make me want to eat more even when I know they are bad for me)
GOOD:
banana with peanut butter on English muffin
vegetable soup (going to make a pot today)
bean burrito with cheese and hot pepper sauce
bran muffin
crystal lite drink
cereal with milk
grits with brown sugar, scant butter and milk
faux meats (soy products)
fish
vegetables of any kind
cheese
fruits
crackers
BAD:
ice cream
cake
pie
sugarless popsicles (even though they are sugarless I binge on them - I may let them back into my diet later. I do love them so much)
cookies
I had Jules and the grandkids over yesterday for my new "Sunday Dinner" (which takes place on Saturday) and I am very happy to be doing that for them. The kids already are looking forward to doing it next week. With their mom gone on weekends I am hoping that they will have "going to Grammy's for dinner" as something to look forward to instead. They got to play outside a lot and rode their bikes on Great Grandma's driveway and played on the swingset over there. They ran all over the yard here playing in the last of the snow, making snowballs, drawing pictures in it, exploring the meadow vole trails and playing with limbs that fell from the trees over the winter.
I made everybody toasted cheese sandwiches and tomato soup and that went over well. I also bought mini cupcakes as a treat. Well, it ended up that I ate more of those than anyone I'm sure. After they left there were lots of them left over and I ate them ALL. So I don't know if my sick feeling today is from the sugar/fat overload or just a random dizziness. I truly am a compulsive eater and I don't know why I want to pretend I'm "normal" and can eat "just one"...
I think I will go back to bed and see if when I wake up again the dizziness may be gone.
Dave and Johnny went ice fishing up on Lake Erie. They figure this will be the last day this year for their ice fishing since the warm weather is melting the ice.
My plan for today (when I get up for the second time later): work in studio, make some phone calls, make veg soup, eat right!
