In which Lambsie celebrates weight loss by eating.

Mmmm pinkberry with blackberries and oreo crumbles...
But why? Because today I went shopping (gasp!) for new jeans because my old jeans are dead (both pair) and, knowing I had lost weight in general, I asked for a 14 short (short because, well, I'm short)instead of a 16. They were ginormous.
I am a fucking 12.
I haven't been a 12 since, like, freshman year of high school.
I have never lost weight in my life, despite two rounds of the South Beach diet, the initiation period of which made me actually gain weight both times I tried it.
What did I do this time? Nothing intentional really...I just am getting uber environmentalist and try my best to eat only local foods which means my diet consists of mostly of veggies, squash, and whole grain bread.
And I celebrate with pinkberry.

In which Lambsie lists her staple foods.

So she can basically decide where she can cut costs.

Winter Squash
Tofu
Carrots
Broccoli
Parsnips
Turnips
Beets
Bok Choy
Spinach
APPLES
Peanut Butter
Jelly
Bread
Brown Rice
Lentils
Beans
Eggs

So yeah, ok spinach has made a brief absense in my life but it will be back because I totally need it. Right now I'm living off of stir fry veggies and tofu, rice and lentils/beans, and, of course, microwaved squash. Egg on toast or apple in the morning depending on time.

In which Lambsie prepares to give blood for the first time ever!

I know, late by a couple years right? So why the sudden change?
Well, I've had so much blood taken from me anyways within the last year or so that I simply don't give a damn anymore about someone stabbing me and draining me of my precious blood. This is a much different story from when I came of age to give blood. Back then, I nearly fainted when they tested me for mono. Now its just needle schmeedle. Though I hope they don't stab me in my already bruised left arm. I look like a junkie. Hopefully I'll be better by Friday because I feel fucking courageous.

In which Lambsie is Peter Rabbit?

My diet (since, um, yesterday) seems to primarily consist of root vegetables. RAW root vegetables. Turnips and beets and carrots, oh my! (Though I've discovered that I cannot stand celeriac, even cooked, which I should have known before I bought the thing, because I loathe celery) I've even chomped sparingly on some radish. I plan on getting some parsnips tomorrow at market and some leafy greens and sprouts, preparing, obviously, for my new career as veggie-hoarding bunny. And, by the way, does anyone else adore the smell of a raw beet when you first cut into it? Dark, cool, sweet, and earthy= amazing.
