Mary is losing it!
What I ate today! 12/30/2011

Brunch: 8pc sushi crunch roll + Diet coke

Dinner: Lean Cuisine spinach and mushroom pizza + water

Oops: Strawberry ice cream pop and two fig newton cookies….OiNk!

Modification at 11PM: Coffee w/ vanilla caramel creamer + splenda

Today I really didnt eat much and that is because I am on a medication that is killing my appetite and when I do eat more…well…bad things happen haha :) Plus I have been so stressed out about my upcoming move across country.

A weird experience: When I am on a diet I usually eventually find the foods that work for me and that I dont get sick of…If you notice in all my food logs I have very similar things that I eat everyday and sushi every friday…the reason for this is because when I find something that works for me then it can only go one of two ways…I either get tired of the same stuff and blow my diet OR I continue to eat the same day after day and become terrified to stray from my routine fearing that my change in food will cause a weight gain…Example: Id like to consider having eggs or something else for breakfast but I have been eating toast so much that Im scared if I dont eat toast I will go off my diet haha…Is that crazy? Its just what im experiencing right now.

I bought a dehydrator!

Ok so I’ve had this Bed Bath & Beyond gift card that I have been hanging onto for a few weeks that I got from bank account reward points.  Thanks to Tumblr I have discovered zucchini chips which I have attempted to make now a couple times and they always come out soft and not crispy like chips! So I learned that if you want them truly crispy like a chip a dehydrator is needed.

Of course right when I got home from buying it I set it up and started dehydrating!

In my dehydrator right now…

Zucchini (of course because that was the whole point in buying it)

Banana

Pineapple

… and beef that is marinating in the fridge to make beef jerky overnight :)

I will let you all know how it all turns out!!
