Return to Phae

Well, I am sneaking up on size 12 as if I were about to lift its wallet. I can no longer wear the size 14 capris and jeans without a belt. Yay me!

( Cut For Boobie Talk )
I am gonna go back to the doc tomorrow. No more putting it off. I am getting the inhaler refilled and getting a new rescue inhaler.  I have tried the natural/vitamin route, and it does help, but not enough for me to be as active as I want to be.  And while I probably could up dosages and add new vitamins to help out, but I already take WAY more pills everyday than I want to.  Four puffs per day verses nearly ten pills (on top of the vitamin C and fibre I already take)?  I think I'll take the puffs, thanks.

I have more to write about, but I think I will make new posts for the other stuff.

It is coming into tanktop season again (for some reason, that is about all I wear in the late spring and summer), and I need new tank tops. I have a lot of pretty blouses, but when it is hot and sunny, tank tops go with skirts as well as they go with jeans, so that is what I wear (I am just going to stop buying pretty blouses one of these days and admit that comfy tank tops are where it's at).

Anyway, I decided that in keeping with my renewed light living scheme, I would make an attempt at finding organic cotton tank tops. Since I can't really trust myself to head downtown without buying things, I turned the the internet. One of the tricks for finding stuff that is fair trade as well as organic is to look for 'Made in Canada' on the label (or 'Made in the USA' for the folks south of the border). Dropping 'Made in Canada tank top' into google brought me this site: Rawganique.com

I am in love! Everything you could ever want in organic and hemp (including panties, which for some reason are ridiculously hard to find). And, I think Denmen Island is near here too, so yay! for cheap shipping (or a fun road trip if I want to head out to the store).

Window shopping is *so* much fun!

ps - Plus, my cargo pants that I had given up on having fit normalling again and was just about to toss into the Sally An bag, are now loose and comfy on me! YAY! Again

Well, I made it whole week on the hard part. Unfortunately, wintersdark and the All Mighty Bank Account have made it abundantly clear that we really can't afford to keep eating like this right now. Potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, all these things are what stretch your meals ... I have been buying food everyday even after doing a big shop, and that is just too much.

I'm not wholey giving up, though, I am just progressing to Phase 2 a little early. The good news is that when we were in 7/11 (WD just HAD to have his slurpee), I chose an apple because the thought of eating any of the pre-packaged snacks made me kind of sick. Good thing ^_^

I am a bit depressed at the whole thing, though. I still feel like a royal failure, but I am sure I will get over it (once the hormones decide to go away). Safeway sells a nice soft oatmeal bread that I have fallen in love with ~_^

That is about all. I just thought I would give everyone the skinny (or not-so skinny as the case may be).
