Let's Get This Straight

It's been a long time stranger who commented on my blog (she knows who she is!)

Anyhow, I'd just like to say, that I am not "dieting". I am not doing the "grapefruit diet", the "adkins diet", the I'm not popping TrimSpa or any ephedra type product. I am simply eating more healthy. What I'm not doing is taking in as much artificial shit as I had before. I have simply reduced my carb intake, not totally eliminated anything. I used to eat crackers, cereal, bread, rice, pasta, among other high carb crap. And my body I think is just adjusting to the reduction of those. I don't use butter or sugar, although I do use Stevia and it seems to be ok so far (it's not an artificial sweetener). I used to snack on Cheerios and crackers and cheese (oh man cheese is so my downfall) and I instead I eat apples (omg these are so my favorite food. I can so eat these forever and not get sick of them) or other fresh snacks like carrots, cucumbers or other fruits. I already have low blood pressure and high cholesterol. I drink lots of water but not too much. I don't eat sausage every day like I used to, but I do eat it once in a while. I do eat eggs a few times a week and increased my fish. Gosh fish tastes so good, I don't know why I'm so adverse to making it. It doesn't take long to make really. I'm just increasing my protein so that when I do get my fat ass lifting weights my muscles will hopefully recover more quickly.

Now if I can just get off my fat ass and workout more. That's the harder part. Well the eating is still stuff but it gets better every day.

When I got on the scale and it increased to 166 pounds I said I have to do something better. I don't cut out my salt because I need it. But I still have trouble adding it to things because I didn't grow up on a lot of salt. My mother rarely cooked with it, and really the only sodium I got was in prepackaged foods or fast food.

I hope my shoot goes well tomorrow. I have the makeup, the background, and the nurse's daughter has the cloth and the model. I just pray I get the lighting right.

I have to get some photos together for a juried publication. I need to get something in..........

For the record, I didn't say you were dieting; but no worries, the long time stranger won't comment again on your blog.

I don't recall writing that's what you said. Two different sentences. But I can see how it can be misconstrued. Actually it was a general statement for some emails I received as well as for myself, as this is my only journal type thingy. Comment, don't comment, *shrugs*. Guess life's changed ya...
