Today I felt invincible…. Today I feel like I may indeed have some Kryptonian in me. Just call me the “Woman of Steel”..
OK so I didn’t metamorphosize inside a phone booth and fly “up, up and away” into the sky, nor did I catch children falling from tall buildings, I didn’t even lift a fully laden passenger plane with one hand BUT I did say no to a plate laden with burgers and buns and potato salad when we had a FREE lunchtime BBQ at work today…. even to the FREE chocolate ice cream for afterwards I said NO.
Instead I ate my salad and my fruit and even drove out to Indian Garden Farms to buy a bag of sugar snap peas that I could munch on all afternoon..
Yes I felt sorry for myself, yes I wanted burgers, yes I think I may have even pouted but I know in my heart I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to lose my fatness forever….
Today was a triumph… today I had super powers and today is another day conquered ..

Way to go Carolyn! You inspire me all the times. Now I just need to find a place where I can find some sugar snap peas. 🙂
E.B.
Go for it Superwoman!!!! (Well done). And remember pouting has no calories 🙂
LOL!!! Thanks all! Sugar snap peas are wonderful raw… get them when they are real fresh though!
OMG I soooo wanted burgers though!!!! TeeHee xxxxx
I am in awe, and I mean that. Well done!
Well done 🙂 Great will power.
As an aside…have you read Nella Last’s diaries? Am reading the first Nella Last’s war and it has some great insights into wartime life and a few mentions of food in there too 🙂
I listened to the first two of Nella Last’s diaries, and I absolutely loved them! She was a wonderful writer, and I am so fond of the pitter patter about her home life.
OOOOOOOO :)- No I have never heard of that…do you have a link for some more info? Thanks so much!!!!!! xxxxx

THANK YOU!!! I’ll bookmark that xxx
Wonderful! Keep it up!
Definitely seconding Nella Last’s books – they are pretty much on constant re-read here. 🙂 There are 3 books: Nella Last’s War, Nella Last’s Peace, and Nella Last in the 1950s.
Go you! Well done on passing up burgers and (I don’t know I could have passed this up) chocolate ice cream! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the support- you are a lovely bunch!!!!! xxxx
Good on you, Carolyn 🙂 I have read the Nella Last books – she has a unique way of writing (I think she was a little eccentric but way ahead of her time, and had a lot of insight). BTW, have you also thought of drinking the apple cider as a tonic = two tsp with a warm glass of water, add a little honey – 2/3 times a day – supposed to be a great detox. I’m going to give it a go. http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/acvinegar.html Take care, Bev 🙂
Whoops, Carolyn. I mean using apple cider vinegar as a tonic, not apple cider (the alcoholic drink). My wee fingers were going a bit too fast there!!!
I was just thinking how to better take the apple cider vinegar as I am getting fed up in sprinkling it over my salads and veggies…. the tonic way sounds great!! I’ll give that a go
BTW I feel good!!!!! Much less tired than I did last week! xxxx
Thanks for that tip Bev!
