Mystifying Psychic Burrito
It is not exactly a secret that I have interests and hobbies that are eclectic at best, down right bizarre at worst. Well, sooner or later, Google AdSense was bound to pick up on this. I use gmail for my email (wow, that rhymes!) and in a process that I find creepy but worth putting up with for unlimited disk space, Google crawls my email for keywords and puts up ads that seem to match my interests. Keyword: seem. Piecing together my various hobbies and concerns, gmail busted out with an ad for the Mystifying Psychic Burrito. Naturally, I had to try it out. I had not taken any vows about avoiding psychic burritos today. I found it to be rather clever. And to think: I was just contemplating the fact that I need to step up my study of a divination system. Move over Tarot, it's time for the Mystifying Psychic Burrito!
Yesterday was a very good CR day. I had my Denny's eggbeater omlette (no more Denny's for me till Tuesday -- yea! The joys of having staff.) for breakfast, followed by my usual cottage cheese and breakfast salad for lunch. Oh, the joy of the spicy greens. I met my nurses downtown at a bar near the hospital, and they decided to order nachos. Now you bloggiefriends know how much I love nachos. In the old days, I would have said, "Just one bite!" Then just one bite would have turned into half the plate. But I resisted. Not one bite. Not one tiny droplet. I didn't even look too hard at them! Wow, did I feel a sense of accomplishment.
I made it home in time to have dinner with my Orange One... I had thrown together a simple meal for him of Harvest Hodgepodge plus kale stems (all those salads create tons of stems) in a veggie broth with eggwhites for protein (they go with everything) and a touch of low sodium soy sauce, plus some of my Magic Mushroom spice grinder. Flax oil for fat, berries with hazelnut oil and hazelnuts on the side. I ate my nice brewers yeast, broth and flax oil vegetable soup. The entire day came in in the 1100s... I'm feeling good in the 1100s, and I think I will stay there as long as I am losing weight but not too quickly.
More of the same today... I bought some heirloom eggplants this morning at Whole Foods on my way from my 7:15 am meeting to my office, and I'm planning to make something fun and eggplant-ish tonight. They're so cute and small and purple! I wonder what they'll taste like.
This whole hunger issue is rather fascinating to me... I was very hungry by lunch, but unlike yesterday and day before, I felt satisfied after eating. I think I am getting the hang of this. Weight down to 103 this morning, which while not unheard of for the first half of the month is low for the second half. Hardcore CR... meet your newest volunteer.

Hey April,
So you really are vain and full of yourself for no good reason... Your posts show this... What are you really? A bank person, a nurse? Whatever you are, your blog shows a would-be over achiever person with little in store to help her with.
Brag away lady, you are boring in your lame attempts to get attention.
Your parent(s) didn't love you much as I child I figure from your blog.

I know what you mean. As long as I eat according to my intentions, I'm happy. I admit that my intentions are not always the best, but it is empowering simply to be able to listen to myself.
Another things about hunger. The busier I am, the less of an issue it is. Have you noticed that?

Zeynep, an unwritten rule to polite conversation is to listen for at least two minutes before joining. Obviously, you need schooled in blog etiquette. Research your subject, or blogger, before inviting your two cents.
