Pluot: Hybrid of Apricot and Plum
I figured if I didn’t answer Sara’s question right away, I’d forget as I do most things. Yes - so that’s a pluot.
Several of us seem to be in the same strange place. We seem to be having trouble getting back into the true swing. I know this is true of me. I can rein in my calories like an old pro but I can’t seem to tackle the Optimum Nutrition part. Still, even when my nutrition is less than perfect it’s still better than it used to be and also better than that of most people. So, instead of beating myself over it, I thought I’d just go with what I’m doing now and ease into a routine where I can get 100% of my nutrients. Best not to force myself too much. Whenever I’ve done that in the past it’s backfired.
Now for my deep and dark secret. My confession: I’m having a love affair with all natural (as though that makes a difference!) creamy peanut butter! Terrible! And just the other day Mary was writing about food addictions. Fortunately, I measure it very VERY carefully and so I’m not shooting my caloric intake into orbit. I love it with an apple. I love it with a pluot. And I love it especially with a banana.
I’ve been in a terrible mood for the better part of the week. No - more specifically I’ve been in a bad depressed mood ALL this week except for today and that, I think, is only because I upped the med dose last night. And too it could be because I’m slightly hormonal. But today my mood is much better, much more optimistic. I hate the depression. I’ll take mania any day!
I’ve decided too that I need to make a plan of action for moving out of the S.E. If I make a timeline for us to follow and a real game plan than I think moving northward would be all the easier. I have Burlington, VT in mind.
Anyone familiar with Burlington?
