Why, hello!

It's been a while.

I've been wrapped up in school and wedding and board certification with no time to blog. I miss it though, so I'm back. I hope to post more often.

I'm tracked out now and I've been honing my procrastination skills. Right now I should be jumping in the shower and going to work on my boards writing. Instead, I type.

I feel like I haven't progressed a lot since last time I posted. I still have the urge to binge (and do) binge mindlessly eat a lot. I want to diet and lose weight. I struggle with what to do and eat all the time.

But when I stop and think about it...I realize I have progressed because I don't really think about it all the time like I "think" I do. I want to eat healthy foods. I want to be good to my body. For the most part, I like my body. I look in the mirror and I don't grimace. My clothes really don't fit, which is disconcerting, but I don't care otherwise. That's weird for me.

Today I found a few new blogs (posted on left) that are very inspiring. I decided to count my calories loosely for a while (if I can without freaking out) and eat mostly what I want with health in mind and see how that feels.

So far today I've eaten:
oatmeal with natural peanut butter and a drizzle of honey
cinnamon hazelnut coffee with cream
banana
spinach salad with walnuts, bleu cheese, mandarin oranges and raspberry dressing

Yum!

I need a snack though, I'm pretty hungry.

Time to stop procrastinating!
