Thoughts to self:

It has been approximately a week since I've faithfully weighed, measured, and logged my food (and logged my exercise). It was a wonderful week of Mrs. Knott's fried chicken dinner, brunch buffets, taking new out-of-town in-law families out to restaurants, the rehearsal dinner, the wedding reception feast, and the after-wedding beach bonfire late dinner topped with s'mores.

Was it portion control or picking my battles when it came to deciding which meals were important enough for a splurge? Maybe it was the extra exercise from the events of the week or running errands. I don't know. Perhaps some of it or all of it.

It's an ODD feeling to NOT log my food or hopping on the scale every day. It's like looking back and seeing your mom or dad NOT holding the two-wheeler steady... you're riding the bike on your own!

Could this be my aha moment? Could it be it's not about a DIET, but it's all about lifestyle changes and NOT eating a second s'more?

Kitten picture for all my cat-loving buddies.



This was our first attempt at breeding Himalayans. They are the result of a joint effort with Catz Boutique (breeder of Mr. Jinx from Meet the Fockers). The mom cat is a lliac lynx point, and we hoped to produce a few lynx points and keep one of the kittens. What could be more fun than being a breeder and having a houseful of kittens?!?

NOTE: NEVER name the kittens if you plan to sell them, and we followed that rule to the letter. We prepared the necessary paperwork and registered the litter. In fact, we weighed the advantage of taking deposits before they were ready to go to their forever homes.

We were the proud "parents" of 1 cream lynx point, 1 flame lynx point, 1 tortie, 1 seal point, and 1 blue-cream lynx point. It was fun having the two girls and three boys even if they had NO NAMES!

The first to leave the nest was a beautiful boy (the flame lynx point). The family had a blue point who was on his last breath and were so heartbroken over their impending loss, we ended up just giving them the kitten. What we didn't anticipate was the mourning experienced by the remaining four kittens. They remained eerily quiet for days.

Days passed, and we finally decided to keep the cream lynx point. Our NO NAME babies grew cuter by the day, and it was a good thing we selected which kitten to keep early on.

That was six years ago.

Twisty thoughts:
Too bad watching what we eat isn't like NO NAME kittens and emotional immunity, huh? Wouldn't it be great if you simply DON'T NAME what you REALLY eat in the food diary and you'd be immune to the calories sitting in your tummy?

P.S.
My cream lynx point is sitting here on my desk as I'm typing my journal entry. I'm sure by the time I get out the camera to share her picture with you, she'll be off playing with her other three NO NAME siblings.

It's a good thing I'm better with my Food Diary entries than I am at being a breeder. It's an even better thing we decided not to have more NO NAME kittens... or we'd definitely be the crazy cat people who live down the street.
