Today was a good day, ate well, exercised and I feel good tonight. I think I must have missed something on the food log, I don't feel like I only ate about 1,000 calories. I'd have a cookie or two before bed, but am afraid of what that would lead to...
Dr visit was ok. He looked at my MRI and said it looked fine to him, no reason for my weakness, and no need to do any more surgery. He said it could take 6 months for my nerves to heal and strength to return, and its only been 2 months so I should just be patient. He wants me to keep up the physical therapy and come back to see him again in about a month. So I guess I will...
That's so many bananas! I wish my allergy cleared up so I could help eat them all
Good to hear the foodbank took some so they won't go to waste. Bananas are probably the easiest fruit for a lot of people: they clearly show how ripe they are and they're nice and sweet so most folks like them.
I like bananas, when I lived in Florida I always grew bananas, but only got a crop every few years. They always bloomed but to ripen we had to have a mild winter, no frost, not even close. Most winters were not that mild. When the bananas did ripen we would have something like 100 all ripe on the same day and only 2 or 3 days to eat them or do something with them. I wasn't in the brandy thing then so we ate a lot, and gave more away to friends. They were small bananas with a triangular cross section, and very strongly banana flavored. Never seen anything like them in the store.
oh gosh what a haul of bananas--and yes very good the food bank could take some as well.
I was happy the food bank took most of them, I still have more than enough left for brandy. They are still a bit green, but hope to start processing them this weekend.
Too bad about the cookie binge. I am the same way--I can't have them in the house--part of me likes to eat them even to just get rid of them so I'm not thinking about them all the time. I'm getting a little better with that but for the most part I like to have my sweets out of the house. Hard when you're sharing living space with a person who doesn't have the same issue though!
Good to know I am not alone! The way I look at it is if I can't resist them I will always find a way to get food. Fast food and convivence stores are too close and easy. They are the easiest place to start a binge, but I am not sure that I wouldn't start one anyway. Its not the ease of the food, but the binge drive that's the problem. For me anyway.
It is funny that you should go out of your way to get a whole lot more work after dealing with so many peaches. I guess you just like to be busy & have projects. Do you have a dehydrator, Rob?
My wife will be dehydrating a couple of bunches, maybe 5 or 10 of the 120 lbs I have left after the foodbank. The timing on this isn't great, but as I said I've been looking for a while and yesterday the bananas were availably. Another chance might not come along for a while. The bigger challenge may be what to do with all the brandy. If I were to drink it myself, at my current alcohol consumption rate I already have a lifetime supply. So either I'll have to take up alcoholism, or give a lot away.
But hey: we all have our issues.
