New year

2014 has been going well so far...
I felt so gross in so many ways the last time I wrote that I thought I needed to make a big change.   So instead of working on my big issues I decided to first start with something easy.   Food.  Always a great distraction from my other issues.   So I planned on cleaning up my food choices because I have been eating crappy for months and it has taken a toll on my body.   I gained weight, I was feeling very tired and low, and my skin was suffering too.  Acne and a random rash on my stomach that kept flaring up.  The plan was to eat fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds only for 3 days in unlimited quantities.   Then one day of no rules just moderation.   Then 3 days of fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds with a normal meal after work if I wanted. It was not hard at all I really felt like my body was getting cleaner.  I wasn't hungry, my face cleared up and the rash is almost gone. So I think it was a success.   Now I must do the hard part,  eat in a manner that provides me all the nutrients I need, keeps me satisfied and healthy.  No extremes - like I said the hard work really starts. 
I also plan on eating real meals with my husband a few nights a week.   Since I work night shift I plan on waking up at 7pm to have a nice night with him.  I normally don't like to eat anything heavy when I first wake up but I want to try to have a real meal with him at least 2 or 3 times a week.   Last night I made a pretty heavy meal and I keep burping!   We had whole wheat pasta with alfredo sauce and pan seared chicken breasts.  Didn't think it would repeat on me all night long!   Our next meal together will be Friday night and I have not yet decided what to make.   I have ground meat thawing so it needs to pair nicely with that and I must have the ingredients in my kitchen already.   I am not picking up any groceries until we utilize everything we can. 
I  "interviewed" for the new job in the admissions department.   It wasn't really an interview seeing as it was less than 13 minutes long.   Apparently she needs to make sure my degree in Nutrition with a minor in English will be accepted education for the job. So we will see I guess.   I am also going to redo my resume and start looking for a new job.  I do like my job but I really should look for new one that really interests me and pays more.  That way if I see something I will be prepared.
Okay this was long and rambling enough!   And yes Kitty 2014 will be a better year for us.
