Spring is coming

I have a job interview for a job I really want. Mostly because it would be good pay, good benefits and retirement, things I don't currently have. It would alter some plans I had made, but I believe it would be a good thing for me now. And, with Spring, there is some interest popping up in my house. So, after a year of planning this move, I have hope that it is actually going to happen. I had my doubts for a little while about it.

My friend Chloe has what she calls, the Chloe 5 Fists a Day Diet. It is brilliant. The premise is that you eat 5 small meals a day, each meal no bigger than your fist. Nothing is outlawed, though clearly, 5 bowls of ice cream a day wouldn't be a great thing. But you eat pretty much what you want to eat, in smaller portions. There are the usual things to aim for, i.e. less processed foods, less white pasta, bread and rice, lean meats and fish, but really it is more about portion control. I think if I have better control on my portion size, everything would be better.

Bad Ginnie

I have been remiss. I have been so mad at Blogger that I have been giving it the cold shoulder. SO, since we last spoke, I haven't made huge progress. But I am plugging along, trying my best. That isn't completely true, sometimes I just want a damn cookie. Other people manage stress with a lovely martini, I manage it with sugar. I AM doing better, but not as well as I would like.

And, now for something completely different, it is Spring and the sun is out, and yes, I know it could all dissappear in a snow storm next week, but right now it is sunny! And people are starting to wake up and want to look at my house, which has been on the market for 9 months. Yea!! So I am crossing my fingers that good things are starting to happen and I will actually sell my house and move....somewhere.

New Blogger

May I just say that the whole new Blgger thing just sucks. It is difficult to get into, I spend so long trying to log in and by that time, I have lost my posting mojo.
That said, I have also lost my diet mojo. When I say diet, I am referring to the scientific term applied to a species' eating habit. I have over eaten and had afternoon sugar and need to get a handle on it again. I feel better when I eat less. Plain and simple. So I am starting again. I am still doing significantly better than in the past, but not good enough. Apparently, I still don't have the good posting mojo, either. I just feel very uninteresting and blah. Sorry bout that.

The blahs

I have the blahs. The blahs of February. I have not done well with food in the last week. I am still managing the sugar, with the exception of a couple of wayward cookies. But I kept it to one big cookie, each foray into cookieland. And I only visited cookieland twice. But my portion control has waned a little bit. I am not depressed int he clinical sense. I am winter depressed. The dark, the cold, the blahs just weigh me down. I lose my inclination to be creative. Really, I just want to sleep, and if not sleep, just curl up in bed, all warm under the covers.

Well, that was pretty uplifting, now wasn't it?
