Where There's Not a Will, There Might Still be a Way

I've hit a wall when it comes to maintaining my new "healthy" outlook on life, which means eating better and trying not to drink the liquor so damned much.  I had done really good for nearly three months now, especially when it came to the food.  I've accepted the fact that I'm a binge drinker on the weekends when I party, and that's just how it is and damn anyone who has a problem with it.  I control my shit, unlike Fabios, and love to have a good time.  But I always made up for it with my food choices. 

I guess I'm just tired of the same crap every day.  There's really no diversity whatsoever, and as someone who loves change, actively seeks it, this is not acceptable anymore.  And the other problem is I'm not much of a cook.  I make a killer risotto, and buffalo chicken sandwiches, but a woman can not live on carbohydrates alone.  So Spike Spiegal said.  I love to buy cookbooks and read them, but when I think about attempting a recipe I just get overwhelmed by all the stuff needed and say Screw It!  I'll just fix a sandwich with Cheetos. 

My new goal is to actually cook some of the things from all the damned recipe books I've acquired, a lot of which are for healthy eating.  Just need to stay focused, which as someone with ADD is a bit of a problem. But I did so awesome the first three months, and dropped 22 pounds, and really do have a new outlook on eating.  It's the invisible wall that everyone comes up against, no matter what they're trying to conquer. 

Also, that's one of the few times you'll see me in a dress.  I never look cute when it comes to dressing up, but I managed to pull it off this time.  A sign of things to come?  Meh.  ;)
