a new leaf

now that i am not drinking alcohol, i should lose some extra weight pretty easily. that is one positive thing i can focus on. another is that when i drink, my face gets red and that is just not attractive. i think i have rosacea.

today i finished sewing a fleece car pillow for the baby so her head doesn’t flop all over while she sleeps. it’s totally lopsided, but maybe that will work out well, afterall. her head can only go to one side, anyway. it’s because i cut the material without using a pattern, just free-handed it. totally irresponsible of me. it’s because i am so impatient.

i made some kind of healthy burritos for dinner using ground turkey seasoned with chili powder, cumin and lawrys seasoned salt, refried beans, grated mozzarella, chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado (which was perfect for once... i was beginning to think that perfect avocados were only a thing of fantasies), salsa and a dab of plain yogurt. they were nowhere near as delicious as a taco truck super burrito, but the fact that they were relatively good-for-you made up for it.

i ate pretty light today. oatmeal with wheat germ and ground flax seeds for breakfast; tuna, tomatoes & spinach leaves on triscuits for lunch. some tortilla chips with salsa as a snack. my downfall are the two or three cokes that i drank. better than alcohol, tho?
