In all seriousness, I am sitting here watching "Bacon Paradise" after just watching "Pizza Paradise." Why? Probably because I am too tired or lazy to change the channel. lol Actually, I moved only one week after surgery, and then went back to work the next day. It is just how my life has worked lately. But anyway, I know I did too much too soon, and now I am vegging in front of the television. I know I should be walking a bit more. Thankfully, though, my dog is forcing me to walk every 4-6 hours for at least 5-10 minutes at a time.

Generally I feel really good and don't feel hungry or crave any specific food. I have had no pain, and my incisions are healing really well. Today I woke up very achy, like flu achy, so I decided that the plans for the day were cancelled (final Christmas gift run). It was finally time for me to relax a little with my new tv and cable. So what have I chosen to watch???? shows about two of my favorite things, bacon and pizza. Can we all say food masochist?

My mouth is watering about some of it, but as I watch people eating way too much food, I am not jealous or envious. I am glad that isn't nor will it be me again. I have all plans to enjoy those things I did in the past, but to never eat a whole meal out again. I don't know why in America we have to serve such huge meals. The thing is, I know now that my body can and should run more efficiently on much less calories, but that doesn't mean I should never have a slice of bacon or piece of pizza. It is all about moderation.

Well the point of this entry really is to memorialize my food journey. I will go back to my creative shakes and smooth soups with dreams of a piece of cheese in the future, and if the stomach gods allow a piece of pizza someday.

I anyone is ready, I wish you a safe and healthy holiday season and a wonderful new year. I know I can't wait to see what 2014 will hold.

Peace
