Why I’m back on tumblr:

Instagram subtly makes me feel bad about myself Twitter leads with judgement and hurts my brain I’m too old for tiktok Facebook is, well, facebook

tumblr seems like a welcoming place for those feeling lost

hiiiiii

In review of my blog after years of being away I’ve determined one thing: I talk A LOT about grapes.

I am a peanut M&M

It’s official.  A year of not exercising and eating copious amounts of sugar has turned me into a peanut M&M.  Under my candy coating is a think layer of chocolate covering what is left of my little peanut muscles. So I am back at the blog because all my clothes are tight and my body always hurts.  It’s time for me to stop being an M&M and start being a healthier human.

Conundrums

I realized today I've eaten ice cream 5 days in a row. As in Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Also, I don't want to blog about eating. I want to blog about Elliot and other cute dogs. And shoes. I've embarked on a no-dieting diet. It includes not counting calories, which I'm struggling with. It apparently also includes gaining a bunch of weight, but they leave this little tidbit out. They also say you don't need to exercise to drop lbs and I think I've taken that one a little too far.

Tonight!

Italian food + wine = 1 good time and a rhyme

Yesterday I went to the ZOO!!! It was cold but I still saw so many animals, including a peacock on the walking path and polar bear that sleeps like Elliot. Also, the snow leopard tried to pounce on us through the glass! Zoo days are the best exercise!

One word to sum up this Saturday:

Cronut

I just wrote 'Friday' on my notebook

It’s going to be a long day

Here is the Bloody Mary I was digging into when I yelled "Hey that looks like Zac Efron!" And it was. FYI - It was a beautiful day and he is a tiny person

Yesterday was my turn to bring in something for breakfast club. I wanted to bake some apple pieces until they were soft and lightly coated with cinnamon and sugar to add to yogurt and granola. Well, I got distracted and cooked them a little too long and ended up with something that was more like apple sauce or apple crisp filing. So I told everyone I made apple pie parfaits and it was a a hit! I also made Pillsbury cinnamon roll bites (pictured), which are always amazing. Needless to say, I did lot keep track of my sugar yesterday. I have a feeling it would have been offensively high. I have decided this will be my last round with the "club." I thought it would be more of a weekly social with some coworker, but instead it is a weekly one person carb party in my cube.
