same ole same ole

I had dinner with a friend last week. 

I’m kinda picky, and I’ve reached the point

Where I can cook better than any take out food. 

Bold statement, but true. 

Plus, you just don’t go over to 

Spend the evening with friends...

To just fast. 

Fitting “social eating” into a fasting schedule 

Is by far my biggest challenge. 

That, and I have to admit 

That I’m still a Carb Junkie. 

This is some fried food - 

A family offered me a bite to taste 

I stood there thinking 

“How can something so simple 

trigger my hunger so very hard?” 

It wasn’t more than a bite or two. 

All the things I’ve bitched about 

-For 9 years and counting- 

That are bad for ya. 

Gluten, sugar, and starch. 

I guess the cravings never just drop off

Or go away on their own. 

Driving home is the hard time for me. 

The witching hour! 
That’s when I would stop and get a meal. 

Or buy groceries to go home 

All by my little self ...

With my little broken leg ...

And force myself to eat “something nutritious,”

Instead of having pork rinds and wine

And calling it a day. 

And going to bed by 6 pm. 

On Tramadol. 

Speaking of broken legs....
I took myself off pain medication 

Almost right away after the fracture. 

I did take Advil. 

Which gave me a raging ulcer. 

I thought that since Advil and I 

We’re such good friends, that I would be ok! 

But alas. Not so! LOL! 

And now I haven’t even used my cane 

For at least 6 months. 

In uneven terrain. 

So yeah me! 

I still do a strength building routine 

Every day before I even get out of bed. 

So that’s all the catch up. 

Now. Where were we?

Oh yes. 

Onward and Downward!
