Happy Valentines Day to all my FatSecret Sweethearts!!!
My DH insisted I open my gift yesterday afternoon before he left for work, he was anxious to see my reaction. A lovely card, two beautiful pairs of earrings and a really cool moose print showing just the top of his nose, eyes, head and rack!!! It's already hung in a place of honor. So lovely.
Unfortunately I've been sick, sick, sick this week. Started to come on Tuesday evening. I guess its a headcold of some sort but 4 days into this and it is still kicking my butt. DH came home early last night not feeling well himself. Timing is not good as his brother is visiting and due to spend Sunday through Wednesday with us. Maybe DH will wake up feeling 100% better? I hope so because I feel about 25%.
He came home rather rattled. He had called the house twice and I didn't answer. Well I was asleep. He called my cell and I have it set to do not disturb at night so that texts, emails, and random phone calls don't wake me up. I don't know if he called the landline or not but the phone is three rooms away from me and I was OUT. Needless to say I guess all sorts of horrible things were running through his head as he drove home, not feeling well himself. Guess I better figure out a way to let his phone call come through in case of an emergency. I don't leave the landline phone by my bedside because the charge tends to run down. Ugh.
Not a whole lot going on around here other than a very red nose, causing the kleenex stock to rise dramatically due to consumption, and I can't taste a darn thing. I guess that could be an advantage because I'm not eating for "taste" right now. The weird thing is, even if you can't taste anything one still gets hungry. Eating certainly isn't as much fun with no taste though.
I can see by my weigh in the scale is continuing to decline. That is a good thing, especially since I am not dieting. I am truly hoping I have finally stumbled into a lifestyle choice that will suit me for many years to come. Low-fat Vegan. No dairy, no meat, no oil/butter. Starchivore am I. Of course I tend to be a tad on the OCD side so being okay with a periodic exception is important for me to consider without making myself psychotic. What I like is that I am NOT on a diet. What I like is I do NOT count calories. I eat when I am hungry, until I am full. I've always had a BIG appetite and have felt embarrassed and guilty about it. No more!! No starvation. No deprivation. Simply different choices, a different way to cook, a different way to eat. It's only been a few short weeks so it is still new to me. Time will tell.
Well enough for today. Hoping you all have a sweet day, recognizing where love lives near and around you. Take care!!
