The rain comes down as she plants a flower..

The heavens opened up again…

But this time I beat them…

When I read the reports at work that we were due for a severe storm I instantly called him and had him bring in my tomato plant and put the rest on the floor in a safe no-wind zone. When I arrived home, much to my delight, nothing had been disturbed, thankfully.

I’m on a new sort of healthy eating binge and this time I’m sticking to it. For breakfast I eat yogurt and a banana and sometimes some mixed berries, for a mid-morning snack I eat grapes, for lunch I eat a few vegetables cut for dipping in light ranch dressing and for a mid-afternoon snack I eat trail mix comprised of dried cranberries, peanuts, almonds and to satisfy my sweet tooth, banana chips.. I’m also consuming less and less soda and more and more water (as I’m sure my colleagues have noticed after my more than frequent trips to the bathroom), for dinner I am eating either something from a vegan brand or chicken mixing in more fruits and vegetables wherever I can. I won’t be able to tell right away but I know even after two days I’m feeling a bit better. I absolutely love the trail mix, it gives me enough energy to not burn out at the end of the work day and fills me up enough that I’m not snacking when I get home. I’m also eating these while following the weight watchers point system so as not to go to overboard with my consumption. I’ll try to report back next Tuesday with my findings.

I went clothing shopping last Saturday. What a horrible horrible feeling when you can’t find anything that fits you. That’s when I decided I needed a change and I needed it now.

My Inner Crunchy has a bit of a trail mix moustache.
