Here's today's list. Think I'm doing better. Trying to make some conscious food choices--think when I actually purchase something instead of automatically choosing what my stomach desires.
Coffee with sugar and milk
Soy latte with sugar
Oatmeal with raisins, tiny bit of brown sugar
Handful of bbq rice chips
3 chocolate squares
1/2 cup or so of barley salad with raisins and broccolli
Wheat berry salad with pork and broccolli

Life is Good
It's a cliche to start something on your birthday. But it's better than not starting at all. I don't feel any wiser but I definitely feel older, which is not necessarily a bad thing. A friend of mine put it in perspective for me once. "Did you wake up this morning?
Point taken.
Hard to believe Le Bub is almost a year. I'm still nursing, waking up once a night to pump. Life is funny when you haven't slept through the night in almost a year. Sharp yet blurry at the same time. I'm pretty much back at pre-pregnancy weight, give or take a few pounds, but things have certainly changed and shifted. Everything is soft, jiggly, out of place. My belly seems swollen in strange places. It's flattish at the lower abdomen and upper abdomen but juts out right in the middle. I can't wear the same shirts I used to though I do fit in my jeans.
After several years of forgoing alcohol and dairy and sugar and gluten, I feel out of control with the freedom. I don't care so much about the weight or even the mush factor, but I am upset with how I'm treating my body. If my body is a temple, it's one that's been desecrated. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but how else do you describe eating chocolates by the fistful? Yesterday I had four delicious Michael Recchiuti caramels and then I had to top it off with a Snickers left over from Halloween.
Here's today's birthday list so far:
Coffee with lots of milk and sugar
Latte with sugar
Zucchini and Feta frittata with a bit of mesclun salad (Tisserie)
Handful of bbq rice chips
Chinese chicken salad--mesclun salad, ginger slaw, breaded chicken cutlet, extra side of dressing
1/2 chocolate candy bar with almonds
Chinese takeout--general tso's chicken, thai shrimp and white rice
Chocolate birthday cake
2 glasses white wine
