A picnic at Red Rocks sounds lovely; ABBA less so, alas...the last time I was at red Rocks was an Easter Sunday and the time before that was to see the Clash. Tonight I made onion rings but the freaking gluten-free batter was terrible and insufficiently sticky. The roast chicken with rosemary and chives was delicious however. I had a bad day depression-wise but then a huge freaking spider startled me in the bath and the adrenaline rush cleared my head for a while. Biggest non-tarantula spider I've ever seen and it wound up on my chest after I reached for the shampoo. :)

Had fun at the zoo saturday; ate well over the weekend except for too many potato chips. Had a piece of grilled chicken for lunch and planning turkey sausage on the grill for dinner with salad and potato salad.

Had frito pie with veggie chili today-one of my favorite meals. Also salad and tons of sugar free pink lemonade. Tomorrow I'm going to Clovis, NM with Connor and Kensie. They have a teeny tiny zoo and some historical sites about Billy the Kid.

Had frito pie today and bunches of water to counteract the salt. Have been feeling better in the mornings lately; not so frazzled and blah feeling. Cutting back on my immense amount of coffee.

Today I had some turkey sausage, fried potatoes , and broccoli. This afternoon I had an extra cup of coffee,

Ate pretty well the last few days even though mostly driving. Ran Annie to help Tracy and came back today-didn't use the travel days as excuse to graze on carbs so way to go me(I might actually be maturing)(a little). Soaking pinto beans to make a pot for Connor as a special request for tomorrow night. Gluten free cornbread not as disgusting as most wheat-less things so dinner tomorrow will be nice:) Had a salad and some fruit salad today with some evil potato chip munching tonight.

Today I had a nice southern breakfast-except turkey sausage instead of pork. Fried eggs and corn chips on the side instead of toast. Extra sausage with cheddar cheese slice. Meant to have an apple but got distracted by dogs. This evening I'm tempted to eat something JUST to break my rules, for the sheer merry evil hell of it because I loathe restriction and my brain wants to self destruct. Sometimes I suck.

Today I had a lovely taco salad w chicken chili at a restaurant called mccallisters deli. Going back to eating once a day because that what my body is telling me and the diabetes people can suck it. Time to listen to my body/mind interface for a while.

Yesterday I had a yogurt, two apples, and a salad.

Today I ate so much I think I changed the gradient on the west side of Texas between sunup and sundown.

Trying to establish spouse-less routine. Yogurt for breakfast about 11am, then salad at 2pm and bbq chicken and salad for dinner. Had potato chips I shouldn't have bought but on sale very cheap and kids love them. Feeling more motivation to eat heart healthy since mother-in-law dying very slow and yucky. Want my body to be fully functional till death, (especially my manly bits! :))
