Rate this Entry
Commercials.... food - food - food!! And they make it look so good, I jes keep tellin myself - yep that KFC DEAD chicken looks real yummy... dead animal - slathered in white lifeless flour then dipped in clogging LARD -- mmm yummy All the spices are there to cover up the DEAD ANIMAL taste!
It was a bit of a rough night last night - I think since I OVER INDULGED in the carrot binge - my body is trying to find balance or something. I'm just not hungry. Or maybe I'm starting to experience some detox symptoms. I ate a Sweet Nori roll (recipe from Alissa's book) it was delicious - but I ended up putting way too much honey on it unfortunately -- it just poured out too fast. But it was still tasty. So I made another one with just the tinest bit of honey and it was even more delicious. Only I was hit with this wave of nausea and could only finish half of it.
So -- I'm watching this 3 day hula competition on tv (which started Thursday night) - and they are airing a commercial in between EVERY group that dances... unreal! (the competition starts at 6pm and ends about 11pm!!) And of course each commercial is Jack in the Box, Pizza hut, Taco Bell, KFC, Subway - NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY those are my (or were my) favorite places to eat -- I've been brain washed ! They (whoever 'they' are...) have been pounding it in my head -- eaat... eaaaattt.... EAAATTT!!! My brain was pummeled last night! I just never noticed how MANY commercials are about food - or some NEW PRESCRIPTION that will miraculously heal you - (but give you a side effect that will kill you!) LOL
The topper to the whole evening -- my husband comes home and starts to cook 'dinner' for our two dogs - on the menu last night - hamburger with garlic. Usually I love the smell of that when it's cooking - but OMG!! Last night - I was already nauseated -- then the smell of dead stuff cooking in my house - SOOO NOT GOOD!!
Plus I'm a bit irritated because my husband hasn't set up the dehydrator yet. I'm threatening to set it up on the kitchen table and run an extension cord across the floor ! My counter space where it's supposed to go is filled up with stuff because - he hasn't put up the kitchen shelves yet. grrrrr... (after all - he's had 3 months to do that -- and another 14 days since I've had the dehydrator!) yes this is the wonderful husband that I've been bragging about and sharing with you that he is so supportive.... Which he is! Don't get me wrong -- he IS really supportive... just a little slow in finishing the shelves in the kithen LOL ;) !!
Anyway - I'm so excited to try some new recipes - I think it will help to keep me excited and satisfied so I don't waiver!!
This morning my walk was painful... not as in muscle pain - but it was just HARD walking up that hill. although - it was absolutely beautiful - the sun shining on the ocean - birds singing everywhere... it kept me going. Then as I'm walking up the hill... my nose starts running - for no reason at all!! Detox? I dunno - but I finished my walk - did my ab crunches and headed off to work.
(think I've complained enough?? Sorry!) Okay.... NOW IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT SATURDAY!! I've vented and now I can GO FORWARD!!

    [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=sienna]You know what else I hate? Commercials where women practically have orgasms while eating chocolate. This is not helpful to me in my quest to be healthy. (Smile)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

    My mummie says: The industry only makes commercials for thing THAT YOU DON'T NEED! To get into peoples head that they do need that! And if you have a look at it: Its true!! I wish you to stay strong!! You can get that! Think of the jeans you can button now If you buy a pizza, ONLY the first bit will taste good... the satisfaction lasts only a few seconds...
