tonight i made dinner (turkey hamburgers on the good old george forman) and then i made a recipe i've been meaning to try forever. aim is true posted a recipe a few weeks ago and i finally made it. yea for me. anyway, it's nothing fancy. which is why it's all the funnier that i'm so excited about it.
it's hummus for pete's sake. anyway, i'm excited to try it when it's chilled and i'm not stuffed with the turkey burgers. work girls...guess what we're snacking on tomorrow.
instead of stealing her photo and recipe i'm going to send you over there - scroll down to the second post. she frequently posts simple food items so you should check in every now and then.
today, i also dove into my compulsive eating book. and yes, E did buy it for my birthday. and yes, i did really ask for it. i had been thinking a lot about how food is good or bad to me. and how i'm either good or bad. there isn't really a balance. which got me thinking...is there a balance? is it possible to not spend the rest of my life worried and obsessed about my bad relationship with food. because i've lost weight and i think i've dealt with some of my issues but seriously i still have some struggles. anyway, i read a post about this book and how it shed some light on those thoughts. so today i started it. and guess what...i am a big fat compulsive eater. i eat to make myself feel better and then i feel worse. everything is good or bad. and i'm scared to think about changing my eating habits/patterns because i am afraid of spinning out of control.
i'm pretty sure the book is based on my sad food life.
the book even mentions the term "thin fat people" which refers to skinny compulsive eaters. that's me. anyway, it seems like it might be interesting and thought provoking.
i orginally started this blog to track my marathon training. and as a way to keep myself accountable to myself and A (and anyone else who wanted to harass me). i've decided to try and post my exercise here again. maybe that way i will exercise. so if you notice i don't mention exercise for a few days...just chime in and ask or drop a little hint. that would be great.
today i went to the y at lunch. 20 minutes on the bike, 15 minutes walking. no super-athlete stuff here but it's something, right? i'm seriously trying to psych myself up for water aerobics but that involves a bathing suit. and well that's another issue.
E is bugging me about blogging again. must go waste time on tv.

So it's an exercise blog now. that's good! I will harass you. We still need to go walk - but we're going out of town this weekend (boo)
Your book sounds good.
Good for you chef Christie. I've had a bag of garbonzo beans in my cabinent forever longing to become hummus or falafel but it just hasn't happened. I'd like the recipe you used; the link didn't work so good for me.
On another issue, how's your back?
Christie, what is the official title of this over eating book?
I am interested...
