Hi Friends!
I’ve been absent lately due to some personal issues. Nothing too crazy, but stuff I needed to tend too. One thing that has happened is that, mysteriously, I have lost much of my sense of smell and taste. Totally don’t know what happened. We are still trying to figure that one out. It’s a totally WTF, kind of thing.
Having lost much of my sense of smell and taste, I will be discontinuing recipes in the meantime. Surprisingly, I had to think long and hard about that. Ha! I had to come to the conclusion that if I need to have someone help me taste test dinner, I cannot accurately and truthfully tell you what I think about a recipe! I want to be honest and truthful with my opinions. I can’t give an honest opinion about food right now, unfortunately.
So please bear with me as this blog grows and morphs. I believe change can be a good thing, even when it is uncomfortable. I will still be sharing my journey of working with my dietitian. I meet with her next week. I’m kind of nervous about that. I should not feel like a kid who is about to take a test but didn’t study enough. Honestly that’s how I feel. My dietitian is great, so this pressure is a total me thing. I must continue to remind myself that even though the scale did not move last month, my percentage of body fat was lower. That means that I replaced fat with muscle! Woo-hoo! I must keep reminding myself how important that is. A strong, healthy body is the goal! And fitting back into my jeans wouldn’t hurt either. 😉
Do any of you find yourselves being harder on yourself than you need too? What do you do to stay encouraged?
