"Wow, you must eat really healthy!!"

Well..
Three posts in one day...Guess Darla and Betsy have nothing to complain about..

It may not reflect it in the post here as I think my blog is set to the wrong time zone, but its 11:22 PM. I left to go start my diet shopping at 630. I got home from that trip at 10. Then I put all that food away, and prepared tomorrows food because i KNOW i won't wake up early tomorrow. HOLY COW...I'm so exhausted.

Is this the point? To make me search all over the world for groceries until the wee hours of the morning just so I'll burn calories? geesh...I'd rather be at the gym. Poor Dexter. he has been so patient..and he's getting so sad sitting around all day waiting for me to come home from work, only to be left again for something else. Sigh.

The total I spent on all these groceries made me a little dizzy, but I was prepared to spend at least twice what I normally do on those bad boys, as my list included things like Thyme and Hummus which not only do I not have in my house, but i didnt even really know where to find them in the store. So now I have an officially stocked house and I may never need to buy things like cumin and parsley flakes ever again.

Hopefully the learning experience part of healthy shopping is over. No wonder healthy eaters are so damn skinny, they spend ten times longer just reading the freaking labels and looking for the perfect tomato. It took me at least 20 minutes to find the only bagel on the shelf made from whole grains. They're so damn deceptive on the front labels that you really do have to read the back!!! I swear..if I didnt burn at least 800 calories shopping I'm gonna take it out on someone and it's either going to be the losers that make these packages, or the real winners working the aisles in Walmart at 9pm who decide its ok to start stocking the shelves making it virtually impossible to navigate the lane with an oversided shopping cart and four other people trying to go the opposite direction.


I can't believe I was excited about this...geesh..
I'm just grumpy...
Tomorrow my breakfast is a hearty apple, strawberry, yogurt english muffin combo...
my snack is an interesting partnering of hard boiled eggs and raisins (who eats those two together!?)
Lunch is a salad and tuna on crackers (sixteen crackers mind you, yeah, you're jealous)
second snack is carrots and raisins ( I just learned how to spell raisins, now I guess I'll have to learn to like eating them.)
Tomorrow night I have my four ounce flank steak (which wally didnt have any of so I'm pretending that eye of round is the same thing)...


four ounces...
psh.



Now to the title of my wonderful entry: "Wow, you must eat really healthy!"

That was the very comment made to me by the publix cashier. Granted, I was at publix only to buy the produce, and Granted, I haven't actually eaten all this healthy shmealthy crap yet, but its good to think I could be known as the one who does.

This post is dedicated to my two hard working Cashiers this evening. For all the strange products, PLU codes and weighing produce....I salute you.

listless

I'm not sure what is going on in my head, but i'm very uninspired lately. i feel like there is so much more I should be doing, but its like i'm watching life from through a window. like i have no real impact on the story, i just sit and watch it unfold and hope the story starts getting adventurous. I'm chosing to call it uninspired because that still leaves the door open for me to have some kind of impact. Like if i could just muster up some passion for something I would be able to find some great purpose and meaning in what I'm doing. I'm thinking about all the kids going back to school and the college students heading off for a new year, and I'm finding that I'm jealous. My life doesnt cycle like that anymore. There is no rise and fall with the seasons. There is no connection to the calendar. Everyday bleeds by in the same numbing pattern. My clothes barely even change with seasons anymore. everyday finds itself looking exactly like the last: wake up l...

whats your self worth?

People have said, something is only worth what someone would pay for it. If what you're selling, no one is buying, then what you have is pretty worthless. But there are stores out there that sell all kinds of things and so the market makes room for them. People are the same. Some people are beautiful, but useless for more than their looks. Like a painting they are worth a lot because people see them as rare.But, some people can go their whole lives without decorating. Some people are useful and so are worth a lot because they fulfill some purpose. Hardworking, or smart, they are seen has having some value that makes them worth the investment. Then there are people I'd characterize as novelty people. You buy them because you've just never seen anything like them. They're especially entertaing or unique. They don't cost a lot, so you can't pass them up. Then there are bargain people. They don't cost much, arent worth much and don't last long. They fill a s...

Musical Unity: A response to Michael Gungor

When I first started listening to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) the only people around were Amy Grant and Michael W Smith. Maybe Kathy Tricolli and Sandi Patty...Any maybe Carmen, but why mention Carmen? Shortly before I started listening to CCM there was no such thing as CCM. The 80s were just about a barren wasteland for Christian entertainment. We had a handle on good old Gospel and regular people started writing worship music. My life wouldn't be the same without Keith Green. But then came the 90s. WHAT an AMAZING time!! Right? DC talk, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, OC Supertones...Holy Music COW! If you were a young Christian, you could turn your radio up proudly and still feel cool. It was EPIC. From 15-21 I didn't listen to much other than CCM. Only the cool CCM of course. The stuff that the local Christian radio station only played on Friday Nights. Then I hit 21 and was, practically overnight, too cool for CCM. I bought a soapbox on top of which I declared ...
