Today was a haphazard eating day but really fun day all around. I ate like crap (those home-made sugar-and-flour bites called "cookies"), and I felt OK about it because I knew I would get back on track tomorrow. In other words, I trusted myself! And yesterday I actually turned down a box of limited-edition inside-out Junior Mints (not my auction), possible one of my favorite candies around! Am I cool or what? As I wrote down today's food (just a few minutes ago actually), it turns out it wasn't as crappy a food day as I thought :-) I didn't eat anything on schedule or in the usual order, but I fulfilled most of my macronutrients. That tells me more than anything that the sugar-free/gluten-free experiment is getting deeper under my skin, and that's a good thing!

Plus, we had a ginormous amount of snow in my geographical area tonight, with the majority of it still to come. I get ridiculously excited over snow even though I can't get around in it at all because of my handicap. But when I could still walk, I loved it! I always felt adventurous when I went out in the snow, even if I was doing ordinary things. Plus I love breathing in bracingly cold air. I love cold weather and snuggling up under a quilt, making a fire, and drinking tea. Winter: I love everything about it.

Yes, I’m just a big ol’ dork and proud of it!

See you tomorrow!
