Today is our 15 year anniversary (oh look! It has a 5 in it!) he got me a new lens for my camera! very very excited! (TEAM CANON!)

Now how was DAY 5? Woke up this morning a little light headed. Drink more water! And being up here in the mountains, have to drink more than the average bear. One day I’ll actually understand that. So the ultimate phenomenon has begun. I have to remind myself to eat. I’m not hungry. Of course I’m getting to the point of why bother…it’s only food. Which is probably a good thing for someone like me with addiction issues! Starting to cross the threshold of “food is only to fuel the body….not to suite you emotional needs”

So we are going camping this weekend. Leaving tomorrow right after work. Very excited….I will take pictures all weekend while Pete fishes or whatever it is men do. (I will also be reading Game of Thrones since I need something to hold me over til season 4). But there are the hot springs and just an all around relaxing time. Always fun.
Every time we go…we hit the store (walmart, as much as I hate to admit that), get a bunch of fun snacks, drinks…because that’s what you do when you camp….you sit around and snack for 2 days straight!!! This time we go into Walmart, Pete is putting all kinds of stuff he’s going to eat in the bag (although trying to make good choices) and he looks at me and says, “what are you going to eat?” Well the selection of approved items is not popular at Walmart Supercenter! In fact, I couldn’t find anything that didn’t have sugar or something else awful in it. So I told him that I had some chicken and beef at home. I could bring a bunch of lettuce (our garden is going nuts with it!), some spices and some nuts. I’m good. He just kinda looked at me like he felt sorry for me. But I was like no really…it’s good!
I intend to spend most of my time hiking, picture taking and reading this weekend so it’s not like I’m going to have time to sit around obsessing about food. Now what he’s worried about is: In the past if I didn’t eat something after a certain amount of time I would get beyond evil. Well since I don’t have the sugar spikes any more, I don’t have the mood swings any more. After I explained this to him he felt a little better…but he’s the time that will have to see it to believe it. Which is totally understandable. Looking back at stuff like that is really amazing.

Now tomorrow at work is the pizza party. I am prepared!!!! And I found one intern at work (we have a lot of college interns) that asked for apples today for a snack. So I went and got apples…I’m not going to deny a kid of some apples!!! Although I can’t have them yet..it’s nice that there is someone that doesn’t eat all that crap! There is hope!!!!
