Sportin' a new 'do

A couple of days ago I had the “ho hums.”  Do you know what I’m talking about?  The “I don’t give a duck what happens” type of attitude and I didn’t like it one bit but I couldn’t get out of it.  I didn’t want to journal what I was eating; I didn’t want to cook or decide what to eat—I just wanted it set before me.  Why did Oprah tell us she has a personal cook?  Now I want one!!!  Can I just say: Uh Oh, the old strawberry was coming back?  Grainiacs, this is how I got into this mess in the first place.  Then it hit me.  Achy shoulders, tickle in the throat, feeling like I was off balance, snot caught in the back of my throat…I was sick.  I had been fighting this cold and/or allergy attack for a week.  I let myself get run down instead of resting.  The old strawberry would have run (or called Hubby to run) out to the store (yeah, more likely I would have called Hubby to run to the store) and pick up ice cream/ sherbet/ Campbell’s chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers.  That is my “I’m sick” comfort food.  We all have comfort food for different times, don’t we?  If you don’t, please don’t write and tell me that.  I’m in a delicate state right now…sniff sniff.   I still have **mutter***mutter***mutter** pounds to lose and I have worked hard to lose those 10 pounds.  So instead of eating my sick comfort foods, I fought my inner strawberry and ate fruit!  Yes, you read right.  I’m sick and I’m eating fruit.  It’s really not a good combination if you know what I mean, but fruit sounds so good and healthy.   I’m not only eating fruit, but nuts too!  What is with me?  Remember that guy, Euell Gibbons, who ate bark off a tree?  Why would Grape Nuts cereal hire HIM?  Do they really want Grape Nuts to be associated with tree bark?  You know, I’ve never eaten tree bark and we do have a dead tree in the backyard…  Nah, I don’t care how sick I am; I’m not eating tree bark.  Problem with being sick is you ramble. 

SOOOOO, all this (you know, sickness, fruits, nuts, Euell Gibbons) made me think about my attitude.  I have been a good strawberry for one month and one week.  I know, you are thinking “I guess it was too much for bad strawberry—she was bound to blow!”  Well I say “dieting is bad for your health!”  HA  I’m just kidding.  You really have to take anything on this blog with a grain (get it?) of salt.  It is allergy season for me and I will not let a little allergy season “blow” my diet.  I’m sporting a new ‘do—I can ‘do this!

P.S.  Here are my bicycle photos.  Check out that seat and tell me if you don't think "up yours!"
