I finally looked up the No S diet Thing you People got going on, and it's like, duh, that's pretty much how I eat when I eat reasonably, and it's usually enough to lose some weight, albeit slowly. I've not been Managing the low carb Thing due to that being somewhat more expensive/complicated, so I'll try the No S Thing. Although I feel like there should be an exception for the pre-menstrual period as well, which is where I am right now. I bought a bag of potato Chips today because I've been thinking about Chips for days (but I haven't eaten any until now, so that's a success in itself). On the other Hand, potato Chips is all I've eaten today so far, so I can Count that as lunch rather than a Snack, right? It's actually not too difficult to eat right when it's so hot outside.
I made a Couscous salad with chicken, tomato, and olives for dinner. It's delicious. I sauteed the chicken cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, spicy chipotle Sauce and lime Juice, and threw it over the Couscous. Tomorrow, I'm making a tomato-goat cheese tarte. I'm also making banana chocolate Muffins right now to take to Rayo's riding lesson tomorrow, her actual birthday. I hope that works out, because I totally winged the recipe.
I took Rayo to her first day of her week-long Pony riding lessons today. It was a big success, and it's adorable to see a bunch of 6-8 year olds with their ponies. I waited around, and some other mom started talking to me, but that conversation faltered after a couple of sentences. 15 minutes later, that mom was happily chatting to two other moms. I mean, they don't even know each other, and I don't think I'll ever get how talking banalities with complete strangers wins out over sitting quietly and reading a book. I can do it if someone else insists, and on rare occasions we even find something interesting to talk aobut, but otherwise I have made peace with my introvert self. It was amusing to see it Play out.
Some guy from our cell phone Company and offered me a sweet deal, since we're good customers, with all three of us signed up to them. With a minor upgrade/Price raise on my contract we'd get a Samsung tablet for free. I've read the fine print and it still sounds tempting. WE've only got one crappy little netbook, no TV, and Nao's Ipad serves all our reading/playing games/watching TV/Streaming movies/listening to Music Needs (apart from the iPhones, but that'so nly good for emergency tv watching).
Speaking of games, on Saturday our sleepover with Rayo's friend who showed up tot he birthday Party ended up with us all having dinner at their place, and M, R's friend's dad, taught me how to Play Backgammon. So now I've added that to Things I shouldn't waste my time on, together with candy crush that Rayo accidentally hooked me on.
