Delinquent blogger award

Hello friends old and new :) Sorry I've been away from the blog lately, but I recently had my wisdom teeth out and have subsequently been eating a lot of yogurt... and more yogurt... and still more yogurt. Also pudding. The whole situation has made me rather cranky and childish, and poor J has had to deal with me not wanting to get out of bed, be reluctant to eat anything, feel nauseous, whine, be dizzy, and generally not eat very much... sometimes (if he's lucky) all in the same day!

I think I'm on the mend, though, and have been eating more solid foods recently, starting with... soup. Attempts at tacos on Friday bordered on disastrous. Maybe it was the tortilla chips. Tonight I'm going to try pizza. Mmmm. Cheesy goodness.

Being incapacitated in the eating department as of late has really been a challenge. I'm not eating a lot but what I am eating is crappy, and I thought I'd lose weight but I just binge on ice cream instead. I feel like a lot of people struggle with balancing what they want to look like and how they want to eat, so I won't waste a lot of time here laying it all out, but I'm tired of being sluggish and tired and feeling like a flabby. Especially since bike riding season is over (sadness!), it's going to be up to me to get myself back on track and my weight under control, or at least fit into my pants so I don't have to buy new ones (best reason I can think of to lose weight!).

I'm pretty pumped to be joining the Chicago Park District starting in January. I have a hunch that once I start working out my cravings for sweet and fatty foods will diminish. At least I hope. I remember something similar happening when I joined track and field many moons ago. Healthier recipes coming your way in 2011! (ugh, 2011, when did that happen?!?)
