Somehow I've managed to gain 12 pounds over the last couple of months.
It probably has something to do with me eating whatever I want whenever and not logging my food into my food journal.
I'm back to sparkpeople.com - my lifestyle babysitter.
  

I've signed up for lots of overtime this next week, and I'll sign up for everything I can until they stop offering it which will be in February probably.  I want to get that tree trimming job paid off and start getting back to a positive savings account balance.

My daughter says she's seriously thinking of moving back home this spring.  
I miss her company so much, but I do have some mixed feelings about this.  
Mostly because it's another "mouth to feed" as she is not self-sufficient yet.  
All alone I can manage, but having another to provide for makes things difficult.  
When she lived with me I had two jobs - I really don't want to go back to that.  
Her living here will mean aquiring another vehicle and insuring it for starters.  I will have the truck paid off in July, so I can give her that and buy another vehicle for myself.  I'd hate to continue having a vehicle payment - but whatever it takes I guess. 
I feel guilty for feeling this way.  I need to have more of a "can do" attitude about this.

I am eating awesomely fresh Collards out of my garden now.  Now that the weather is chilly the winter stuff is starting to take off.  I've picked a few spinach leaves, but they aren't really ready.  I am enjoying all the various baby veggies I've thinned from the rows.  I'm very grateful for the garden.  I couldn't afford to buy this stuff in the grocery store.

So, I've gained about 8 pounds since going away from Sparkpeople.  
I went back yesterday - and I'll go back to logging in food & exercize.  It seems to help stop me from gaining weight.

Today Janie & Andrew (work supervisors) took some of us to lunch at the Greune Onion Grill  (website consisting of the name of the restaurant and contact info...) as a thankyou for staying at work when there was a storm outside.  I had the penne pasta with Portabella mushroom and cilantro cream sauce.  It was mightly tasty.

Unfortunately the waitress who took the picture had the shakes (or her cell phone was on vibrate and went off) - so the picture was totally blurry.  It was the only one she took, so I'll post it anyway.

I'm getting fat (er).  Better start watching the food (also log calories at Sparkpeople if it comes to that).  Will need to begin excercising in the evening too.  Yuck.  I don't want to be thin; I just want to keep my weight at a healthy level.  I feel the pounds creeping on.

Today I had a bowl of cheerios w/soymilk for breakfast.  I brought to work with me a banana, peach, a dozen cherry tomatoes, 1.5 cup pasta salad (without mayo), 1/2 cup seasoned garbanzo beans, 1 cup sliced cucumbers, and a veggie/rice "stew".  This will be lunch, snacks, and dinner.  When I get home I'll probably have an evening snack of sliced tomatoes and a piece of ww toast.  Sheesh, I should start putting this stuff in at Sparkpeople and see where I'm at with calories.
