We did it, we went off the diet in a big way and ate pizza today. We spoke to the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) student chapter of the University of Pacific tonight. It was a lot of fun. And purposely didn’t bring food. I was ready to eat street food. Part of me was hoping for sandwiches although I think Elliott’s prays were answered with pizza. We both ate it, 3 pieces each. It was satisfying although not indulgently so. Not much more satisfying than a great big dish of greens with a side of quinoa. And I don’t think either of us feels awful, which I think is a good thing. Although I think Elliott was hoping to feel awful to have a another reason to point to why we eat like we do now.
The delivery was not of the pizza but my new 100% cotton bra. I have never been so happy to see the mail man. I charged into the lobby to recover my package and boy am I happy. It doesn’t have the same push up padding that I used to look for in my bras although that is ok. I purchased the bra with a tank and new undies from Cottonique my perhaps new favorite retailer. And the package was shipped from a warehouse in Reno which made me laugh.
Now if our Arbonne box would just arrive. We have been out of fiber for a few days and I am not happy about it. I have been working to pour more veggies into my shakes to get my rubbish (as I think Krista would say) although I think my tummy really likes having a scoop a day of the fiber. Plus we have some fizzy tabs (vitamin b and green tea caffeine) coming as well and those are wonderful.
Oh and we sold our Subaru, I think…. I just went to Craiglist to take down the posting. We decided we don’t need two cars. And there is this great thing called Zip Car that when we need a car there are always several in the neighborhood that you can go pick up for a fee and rent basically if needed. So if we need to be two places at once first we are going to work to use more public transportation and if that doesn’t work one of us will get a Zip Car. And with the money from the Subaru we are going to pay off one of our last remaining pieces of debt which is from a loan we took to buy stock in BJG; we all know how that ended! We really, really want to move past that chapter in our life and paying off that loan will be a perfect way to not have that monthly reminder. So this nice couple came tonight. Drove the car. Came back and asked if we were flexible on the price. The offered less than we were asking for, although more than the cheap people on Craigslist who try to haggle with you over email, and I think its a fair amount for both of us. Win-win. They said they need some time to get the money, hey I can understand that. So we shook on it that they would buy the car next week when we get back from LV. They asked us to take good care of it so I feel good about our deal, I think they really want it. That’s it for today. Off to have some detox tea and look up a recipe for sardines! Anyone up for Sardines with breakfast at Kathi’s on Saturday? They are a great protein!
