http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:49:53 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en OK, my long paper assignment is done for my latest seminar. And I have two weeks before the next one starts. I shouldn't have any reasons to eat junk food at this point, minus thanksgiving which I'm trying to find ways to make it a little better. By the way, I ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/one-monkey-down/ Let me start with saying that I am HUGE fan of Stacy's Pita Chips. I love the plain ones. I love the flavored ones. I hadn't seen them at any of the local stores. Which has been a good thing because I really don't need them. However, I discovered them the other ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/the-pita-chip-incident/ Today, at this very moment, I am very glad that I am a little on the portly side. We trotted down to the beach viewing point near the house to see what the wind and rain was like with this storm that is a-brewin' Really didn't think it was too windy...after all, ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/thar-she-blows/ So we went to dinner and I had a cheeseburger, fries and two porters. I made it through most of my burger...didn't eat of the bun and surprisingly, I didn't eat all of them fries. Since I don't eat fries on a regular basis anymore, I almost always devour them when ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/surprised/ I see a cheeseburger fries and a beer in my future. It has been one of those days where a little greasy food and some barley and hops will make a little better. It is also the start of a very busy week. I will be working on my 20-25 page ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/think-i-am-going-to-be-bad/ I did something stupid. I had a big cookie today. I had been pretty good with my choices for snacks...but today, a cookie seemed like a compliment to a bowl of soup and  a coffee. I really feel like I screwed up, again. On the bright side, I did get a walk ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/ooh/ I'm disappointed in myself today. Not food wise, I felt like I did pretty well on that front, even with my weird pickle and cheese snack. But exercise wise. I worked out for 30 minutes. I did several of the exercises that Meghan showed me...but I only did 10 minutes on ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/sigh-3/ OK, I am really proud of myself right this moment. There is still Halloween candy in a bowl in the kitchen. Over the weekend, and yesterday, I sneaked a few. So far today, I haven't had any! Yay! Even more, today after lunch I wanted something sweet. Opted for a Fiber ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/feeling-proud/ As I lifted the weight up, my shoulder made a loud cracking sound. When I lowered it, there were more popping sounds. While I felt old and embarrassed, I knew I was finally taking a step in the right direction. I was actually making a serious attempt at exercise. This effort to ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/giving-exercise-a-chance/ So we had crab, crawfish and shrimp gumbo for an early dinner-late lunch today. We ordered it from a meat shop we know that specializes in Cajun foods. It was wonderful, and I couldn't help myself, I had to go back for seconds -- and that included a second helping of ... http://www1.theworldlink.com/food_junkie/2009/11/cajun-piggy/
