Stuff

Well, I've given up on the pantry deal. Mainly because most of the food is still there and I don't seem to be eating it. I would guess that means we don't really like it and that's why it's still there. It was a thought, though. Who knows what may happen in the future. I may once again decide to empty my shelves.

It's Monday morning at 4:38. AM. That's right. AM. What the heck am I doing awake? You may be asking that, but I can assure you, I'm asking it much louder than you are. I woke up to go to the bathroom, and that was it. I tried lying in bed for a while relaxing, but no go. I tried praying, which usually does the trick and I'm out before I'm done listing my sins. The list was getting rather long, so I gave up. So, I thought I'd balance my checkbook, check my mail, pay a bill or two and plan the day's food intake. I have a lot to do today. Work, of course. That's a given. I need to get an allergy shot, I have a 1:00 diet meeting, and I want to exercise at Curves. I have to do some grocery shopping somewhere in there as well.

Speaking of food, diet, Curves, and exercise, I'm doing all of those. Sort of. I lost 5 pounds the first week on my Curves diet. I may or may not have lost any weight this week because of "water weight" gain. Amazingly, I did not have any chocolate cravings this month like I normally do. I've really been slacking on the exercise portion, which must be adjusted. I had some lab work done at the doctor's office last week, and the results are in. Everything looks good. He didn't put my A1C number on the letter he sent, so I'll have to ask about that. It should be good. A1C is the measure of your blood sugar over the last 3-4 months.

I'm still plugging away on my cardigan and I hope to have it done in the next 3-4 weeks. I want to wear it this winter. I think it's going to be much too big, which is a bummer, but better too big than too small!!!

That's it for me. Life continues on. Even with less sleep than I'd like. I guess I'll go take a shower and go to work. Might as well do something else constructive.
