pms...not again...

so for the last few weeks i've been joking that i have post-pms...well guess what the real thing is back. i didn't even have a break. isn't it odd how some months are worse than others?

today hasn't been a very good day. my back continues to be an issue and i haven't been sleeping good. and i don't know if it's possible but i think my adjustment yesterday is causing pain in one of my feet...is that possible? i also have a big project at work that i need to start working on and the fear of starting it is killing me. this is my normal routine - i stress about not knowing what i'm doing and the thought of starting and then once i get started it's generally not too bad. but the getting started always kicks me in the rear.

my co-worker amy and i walked to the new farmer's market downtown today. not a bad walk (minus the odd pain in my foot) but the produce was picked over by the time we got there...not a tomato to be found. too bad. luckily it's every wednesday so i'm hoping to make it a routine. because let's be honest i need more veggies in my life.

i'm not one to talk a lot about tv because i try to not be a tv nerd. but i've decided i love grey's anatomy and sandra oh. i have a confession - i hated sideways, hated it and nothing you can say will change it. anyway, because of that i have developed a dislike for sandra oh. she has moved me on grey's anatomy though. i'm not sure if it's her character or acting skills but on monday's episode she was fantastic. so my point is you should check out grey's if you've never seen it. this is one of my favorite clips from the season finale.



no more tv talk.

i've heard that the link to the hummus recipe is a little funky so here it is. by the way, the it is yummy.

Avocado Lime Hummus
Points per serving 2
Servings 4

1 15-oz. can chick peas1 tsp. fresh lime juice1 medium avocado2 cloves garlicsalt & pepper
Drain chick peas.
Put chick peas, lime juice, avocado (peeled of course) and garlic into food processor.
Blend til it’s however smooth you like it. I leave some chunks for texture.
Salt & pepper to taste.
Use fresh veggies to dip (0 points) or some low point pita chips.


also, the name of the book i referenced yesterday is "Overcoming Eating" by Jane Hirschmann and Carol Munter. it's fairly old and is available in paperback so it was pretty cheap.

exercise. i walked to the farmer's market and back approximately 2 miles.
