What is going on?

Once again, this week, I feel ambivalent about blogging. I like doing it, enjoy it afterwards, but feel some kind of block right now. I make a meal, think of taking a photo of it it and then, nah…

I think that my obsessive tendencies are sneaking up on me, tapping me on the shoulder and saying: “be careful with this one, have fun, but don’t turn it into an obligation or expectation.”

Since I moved to MI, I have been trying to drop a couple extra pounds that I added during the past year. I recognize that I am healthy, but my body just doesn’t feel as light, fueled or energetic as it did before I added a bit extra Judy. I HATE calorie counting, not saying that it is bad for others, but it is SUPER BAD for me—turns me into a nut, consumes all my thoughts and makes me feel cooky. I know it works for others, but it definitely does not work for me. SO, here is the dilemma: I enjoy taking photos of my meals, but sometimes think that I am doing it to monitor what I eat. Which isn’t always a bad thing, right? But, I walk a fine line between healthy guidelines and being consumed by them.

SO, based on what I wrote a couple weeks ago, that I make more effort to choose healthy foods and put more love and effort into meals when I photograph them, I am going to give it a whirl. But withdraw if I feel that little tap on my shoulder.

I love reading food blogs and checking out others’ daily eats, but feel kinda guilty or weird about keeping my own. Weird. Sometimes I feel trivial focusing so much on my food and how it fuels my body, but the reality is that I think about it, so why not own it.

SO, on that note…Dinner was tasty:

Tofu BBQ +  Brussels sprouts + watermelon

 

Raj and I stopped by Whole Foods and each had a piece of their pizza. Seems like this is turning into a weekly treat!
