Naturally grown food is a luxury
This morning I read the following: “Cheap food – once again – has turned properly made food into a luxury… to the point where people don’t even want to address issues of quality.” – A black girl’s guide to weight loss This struck a chord with me and put a finger directly on the thing which has been bugging me…

Flaxseed, Bee Pollen and Fairy Dust

That said.. the suggestion that I should sprinkle my morning oatmeal (which I don’t eat) with flaxseed and bee pollen was initially greeted with a “Yeah, right. F’king hippies”.

Flirting with Twoterville
At this point I’m flirting with Twoterville. Friday I’m firmly in Twoterville.. then Saturday/Sunday push me above so that by weigh in day (Tuesday) I’m a smidge (2-3 lbs) above. Luckily week-by-week that smidge is getting smaller. It’s my own fault and I recognize that. I need to show more restraint when it comes to brownies and bread. Speaking of…
