Well, just like that, I am almost another year older. I turn 34 years old on Sunday and am neither here nor there about it. I am sure it will be a fun day, but not something I am jumping out of my skin to rush towards. One thing I need to do is renew my driver's license tomorrow. I need to study for the damn written test though haha :P
I finished the first book of The Hunger Games trilogy and am about 125 pages into the second book. It is a phenomenal series It is labeled as a "kid's" book. Ok, I call bullshit LOL. This book is very graphic in nature, and I personally don't think it's suitable for anyone under 16. For those that don't know, the basic story is it is set in a "post apocalyptic" style America, where everything is set up into 12 districts and the main city, The Capitol. Basically every year, as punishment for the now destroyed District 13's uprising, and a reminder that The Capitol's law is absolute, they hold the Hunger Games. Each district must put forth a boy and a girl between 12-18 years of age (randomly picked). The 24 "Tributes" from the districts go to The Capitol, are interviewed, treated like celebrities, etc. and trained until at the end of the week they are all put in an arena with each other and have one goal - to be the last one standing. They all must try to kill each other. The arena is huge, and the games go on for weeks. It's quite insane, graphic, but gripping. I couldn't put it down and read almost the entire book in one day. I'm enjoying reading through the second book.
In terms of food, I am still plugging along, trying new things. Yesterday I had lunch with a friend at McDonald's. We both had happy meals, but I gave her all of mine except my "bunless" cheeseburger lol :P I ate the burger patty, slice of cheese, the two pickle slices, minced onions, and ketchup. I ended up able to eat it within 30 or so minutes and had some unsweetened tea about 30 minutes later. All in all I did ok :). I had some refried beans with cheese and taco sauce for dinner, but could only do like 3 bites or so. Today I've had 1/2 a carnation breakfast for breakfast and a cup of "Chicken Gumbo" soup for lunch. It was from Culvers, very healthy actually, but super boring. It was like drinking tomato broth with a tiny bit of celery and ONE piece of chicken (LOL). All in all I was like "meh" by the end of the meal.
I am LOVING my 1/2 Gold Leaf iced tea, 1/2 Minute Maid Light Lemonade drink I have all the time now. like 10 calories and amazing :D
As for dinner, I have no idea what I'm going to have. Maybe some plain Chobani yogurt and some strawberries. Not really feeling anything else tonight. Just kinda blah when it comes to food lately. I know I have to eat, just not starving for anything (except my friend Danny's queso dip - omg I could eat that every day and it doesn't make me sick at all lol).
Hugs to all, and stay healthy! :-D
