Forced Blogging

I'm forcing myself to sit down and sit still and write. I should be blogging daily and since no one actually reads my blog, I shouldn't worry about the content. And yes, I do. As I've mentioned before, I use WW (used to be Weight Watchers) to watch my weight. I like to watch it go DOWN. Each plan gives so many daily points and so many weekly points. If you go over your dailies, you can borrow from your pool of weeklies. Well, I usually have roll-overs. That means that I don't always eat all of my points and they roll over to the next day. But only four. Last night I ended up not eating 11 points. But, only four will roll over.

I also watch my weight daily and have found that on the weekends where I've dug into my weeklies and even gone over (I'm talking a -97 weekly balance here!) I've still lost 1.3 pounds. Well, it's Thursday now and this past weekend I stuck to my daily points and borrowed maybe four weeklies. And guess what...my scale is showing no loss. My plan is to eat those weeklies and throw caution to the wind this upcoming weekend. My body seems to respond well to a couple meals that aren't WW SmartPoints friendly. 

I must also mention that I intermittent fast. I won't eat before noon or after 8 pm. This weekend, I'll probably log my points just to see if my theory works. If it does, from now on I'm counting points M-F and Saturday and Sunday I won't. With my intermittent fasting, I typically have one large meal a day anyway. Well, that's been a lot of rambling about my diet.

As for the writing, I'm finding it difficult to open my manuscript. When I wrote before, I had two friends who couldn't wait to read each chapter as I finished. Now, I don't have that luxury. I love the feedback and excitement of someone reading. It keeps me going. I like to have someone to write for. 

At this rate, Christmas Ginger will sit on my computer for another year or probably more. I'm not sure if or when Dead Butterflies will ever make it out. 

There, I blogged. It's done. I wrote something. Yay.
