Easter Saturday. I almost forgot to have lunch today because I wasn't at all hungry! OMG! I had the same breakfast as yesterday-egg/vegie muffins as I slept in, had mango & kiwi fruit(equiv. of 1 fruit) straight after breakfast, lots of water all day & headed off to go shopping & didn't get home until 2.30. Whoops-had to quickly cook lunch. I'm getting good at this cooking caper-it was delicious! Minced steak, tomato, onion, garlic, bok choy, curry powder, balsamic, salt & pepper, fresh basil( I just love basil!!)
Well I have decided to delay the clothes shopping a bit longer as I have dug out some clothes that are too big but don't look like tents but.....
I did buy some leopard-skin patterned, leather glothes. Very nice!
I also have a black, with leopard skin trim, cape that I bought about a month ago for our Tassie winter, that I haven't worn yet & these will look great together. The cape( 1size fits every-one) will fit regardless of my size & they will look great together. I have this picture of slim me in my mind & what I will wear.
I love black & it suits me. I will still wear it when I am slim but will add colour and have more fitted clothes, perhaps even a polo jumper. I am going to buy some good quality, knitted & fitted jumpers. I'm saving up for a classy splurge. Might wait for a trip to Melbourne I think. A new black leather handbag too. You know the perfect one we are all searching for!!
Met a friend today who I haven't seen for a while. Her husband died about 2 years ago. She was going to call in to see me at home on her way home. It was lovely to catch up with her and we went to the local deli & had coffee. Even a cappuccino, which used to be my favourite, didn't appeal. I think I will stick to long black apres
Cohen's. Looking at anything milky or creamy makes me feel queasy.
My husband wasn't shirty with me re Good Friday. He ate oysters, abalone, smoked salmon etc etc & sounds like he had a lovely time. Work wasn't too bad. No disasters at least. I work again Easter Sunday & Monday. I will think of the dosh going towards my classy clothes spree!!
Can feel myself getting smaller, can see myself getting smaller!!
Life is good & getting better all the time. I have been singing today.
Annie, I LOVE Greek food. I can't think of any Greek food that I have eaten that I didn't like. We used to live amongst a huge Greek population in Melbourne- Greek neighbours, work colleagues/friends (OMG the hospitality, the food, the parties, the fun!). I also interviewed lots of Greeks as part of my job for years. People would start to spell their names out to me, not believing I would get it right & I would show them. Every now & then one would stump me but mostly it was logical. I miss the interchange of cultures in Tassie. I have put my name down for a class to teach English to migrants & they will contact me about July. Apparently there is a real need for English tutors & as you can see from todays long diary note I LOVE words & language (& accents)
We are planning on going to Greece & Italy hopefully in the next 2 years.
I had better work some more!
This
diet is so much easier to cope with now that I am not hungry. Thank you Annie very much! I think I will give up on apples too, even though they are particularly scrumptious at the moment. xo to all, Cate
