Oh me oh my.
It's been busy here. So busy that until a few minutes ago, I didn't even have a chance to login to blogger. I haven't been swimming and a true sign of a hectic schedule, I bought my lunch a few times over the last couple of weeks.
My husband was away for a week visiting his parents in Newfoundland. Before he left I pictured quiet evenings of blogging. In reality I was too pooped from cleaning up and getting ready the next day. There was very little time and I had no energy to do anything other than go to bed.
I've also gained a couple of pounds (my jeans are slightly tighter) since we ate more prepackaged dinners. My parents helped me by picking up the bears after school/daycare. We ate dinner at their house when I picked them up after work.
Plus, I've been interviewing for two new jobs that has meant time buying interview clothes, preparing, and even completing a test/assignment for the more promising opportunity.
My interest is turning back to the less healthy food, which is a signal that I need to change my food routines. Frankly, there isn't enough time to figure that out right now, but I should have more time next week. Currently my attention is focused on baby bear's birthday party today. I can hardly believe my baby bear is three now.
That reminds me, the next big event is my parents' 50th wedding anniversary party next month.
Anyhow, these are challenges we all face and all that any of us can do is to muddle through the best we can.
I'm looking forward to getting back in the pool....
How are you doing?

Catching up - how are you doing?
Hey, how are you?
It's been a while.
Stuff has been going on.
My laptop crashed permanently. The motherboard burned out. Who knew that laptops only last 3 to 4 years? I'm sure many people knew that, but I didn't. Interesting to note that the cost to replace a fried motherboard pretty much buys a new computer. So I bought a new computer, with a bigger monitor (yay!). It's taking time getting used to a new keyboard and Windows 8 (what the heck happened to the Start button?).
There has been news; good and not-so-good. I was shocked by the horrific bombing in Boston and tragic fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas. My heart go out to the family and friends touched by these events. However, I primarily think of my wonderful mother-in-law and father-in-law who are experiencing their own health crisis far away in Newfoundland; I think of you always and I am glad that your son, my DH will be coming home to be with you soon.
Eating has been going well. Tackling my issue with social eating has led down an interesting road. I'm annoyed by all the junk food everywhere. Yoni Freedhoff recently called it second hand junk food. I'm formulating a plan to make it easier for people at my workplace to not eat food. I'm excited, but I know my suggestion is controversial.
I've been reading Michael Moss' Salt, Sugar, Fat. I'm adding a new eating trigger to list of triggers. The newly discovered trigger is processed food. Why? Because processed food tastes too good. It is engineered by chemists in a lab, supported by research to guarantee that we eat too much, buy more and induce cravings.
It is time to challenge the traditional ideas on why we we overeat.
I've also decided to push my comfort zone when it comes to this blog. I intend to write more controversial posts or write in a more controversial voice. I've changed how I think about food, dieting and weight loss; now I want everyone else to change too.
