Let me tell you why.
I was busy with PEOPLE all day yesterday ... battled my desire to hibernate and made conscious decisions to say YES. I'm not letting this funk get the best of me. That makes me HAPPY.
I stayed away from wheat. Made good lunch decisions at the restaurant, good home decisions. At lunch I was tempted to have a small piece of pita with the hummus, but asked for more vegetables instead. I want to try the NO WHEAT for a significant amount of time ... just the "no wheat." No other restrictions. But I need to do it completely, no cheats or slips.
"China" (my dear, sweet cold sore) is finally beginning the healing phase. It's still a bit juicy (sorry for the visual) but it's starting to scab over. Now the super, duper bright red phase begins. Rocking the pretty today.
PMS is in full swing. Expecting "it" by week's end. That should settle things down some more.
Today is a Lift workout. I'm a little weary of going with "China" but I don't want to miss another day. I won't be going at all next week with my trip, so a push this week is fine ... and needed.
Hubby got some good news at work yesterday. The company is sold and he is staying on for the foreseeable future. He's worked so hard for this and sacrificed a lot of personal time over the last year plus. I'm glad the outcome was worth the hard work.
(We toasted the good news with some seltzer water ... also a win ... neither of us needed a real drink.)
Looking for some perk-ups from my funk, I did a little fun online shopping. Stay tuned as the treats arrive. Nothing big, but some stuff to add to my day.
I'm making the specialty grocery store loop today -- finally. I'm down to bare bone with my staples. Everyday something was postponing it (contractors, sick dog, etc).
Do you ever watch The Kitchen on Food Network? I caught an older episode and they do a "What I'm INTO and What I'm OVER" segment. I thought that would be fun to do too every once in awhile. Here you go:
What I'm INTO ...
My latest "find" is a candle company that a neighbor runs with a friend. I bought a candle at a local market (not realizing she lives in my neighborhood). The smell is great, the holder is beautiful and they refill for a discount. Turns out, they will fill any vessel you want. It's not cheap, but not outrageous either. I'm tired of buying scented candles and finding very little smell or not liking the scent, etc ... waste of money. These burn well, smell great and are perfect hostess gifts. I can be on the watch at the antique market for pretty jars to fill for holiday hostess gifts.
What I'm OVER ...
Keeping with the smell theme, I'm over cauliflower rice stinking up the house like a bad toot. I actually plan when I cook it if I'm having someone at the house. I made it for dinner last night and 2 hours later, hubby arrived home and it still lingered. I couldn't smell it at that point, but I wonder how many times someone has come into the house and thought I had stunk out the place lol. It's otherwise the perfect side dish. It's like a best friend with horrible breath -- worth it, but what a bummer.
Later gators.
