OK, enough of that - I know most people don't agree with me, but I also know that the diet industry is still going strong. It is my belief that they keep going strong by keeping people on no-fat, high carb, highly sweet food. Which just makes people crazy and cravy.
Tonight I will happily eat my roasted chicken, with skin, and have a salad of romaine leaves with a dressing I make out of blue cheese, mayo, sour cream, and olive oil. Oh heavenly. I guess I wasn't done talking about food after all. Perhaps I shall try to change the subject again....
The run was awesome this morning. This afternoon, I go sit in on an icon class. I have been allowed to sit in and not pay. Hopefully I will be able to assist in some small way. I will also work on my rescue icon. I think I have written about him. Someone else started John the Baptist but made such a mess of him that she abandoned him. I am trying to rescue him. It is a labor of love.
Yesterday I worked at home. People always say "oh, how nice!" Well, in my job it isn't so nice. I sit in my new work area in my basement and work staring at a monitor - yesterday for 11 hours straight. Not that fun. I hope to God this job gets easier some day.
OK, I can't string any meaningful words together this morning. I am going to take a nap before heading across town to my class.
Sure am grateful to be sober. Fully engaged in life.
Thank you God.

Thanks for a full diet of MC today.
Sugar is the culprit, not fat. Sugar dulls the brain, slows down our life functions..ugg. I feel entirely different when I eat a tablespoon of Jiffy (roasted peanuts + sugar + palm oil) vs. a tablespoon of Krema (peanuts).
But you are absolutely right. Find what works best for your body, and stop the fad diets.
We do low carb and high protein. It seems to be good for us. Little sugar too.
I like the view of your backyard. Very pretty!
Why are you always so harshly judgmental? All the time, about everything?
I couldn't possible work from home regularly. I can't self motivate well enough.
MC-I truly fail to see how expressing yourself IN YOU OWN BLOG can be considered judgmental.
Anyway, I'm about to embark on a recovery plan to move to away from things that mess with my biochemistry (sugar and white carbs). The research in the last few years is fascinating and I can't wait to see what it does for me. I have to be patient though...kind of like working my AA steps...one at a time, in order, at the right pace for me!
Thanks for the lovely post today. Seeing a new post from you always brightens my day.

Dear Anonymous,
Why do you read my blog if it is so awful?
Mary Christine
I feel the same way about the job at home. It's been a very hard adjustment. I wanted to love this job so much, it's in an industry that I love a lot, but ... after almost a year, I still love the industry, love it, but this job...not so much.
Still I can do it until God says otherwise :)
Ignore the nonsense people post, my dear friend.
I came back here because I read this yesterday and wanted to say I agree 100% with you on eating -- I eat small portions (my saving grace) of fresh and homemade organic foods and have never dieted.
Your garden with the lilac and young aspen looks lovely.
