If you’re here today, its because you saw the SOPA/PIPA blackout click-through. I hope the SOPA/PIPA blackout across so many major sites and many smaller ones did what it was supposed to- convinced you all that if these pass, the internet may as well be shut down completely. Nearly anything could have any of us permanently closed off.
Anyway, back to what this blog is about. The scale put me down another half pound this morning, which was surprising since I’ve been so into flex this week already. That puts me at 1 pound from my 15 pound goal- the one I would have made by New Years as planned if it hadn’t been for all the junk food that kept appearing. 
Boo! But maybe I’ll make it by the end of this week if I’m good and stay out of flex.
I’m been thinking about my recent need to clean and organize everything, and I think I’ve got it figured out. Since having the doctor reduce the number of milligrams of the Geodon I am taking, its a little harder for me to get to sleep. But I’m still sleeping good, and I feel good when I wake up. I just feel better all the way around. Do I think I’m entering a manic episode? No, I don’t. But I think if the Rx was cut back any more I would and I do not want that.
I’ve been doing the dishes every day since I threw out and organized the storage containers. I know if I let Richard do them, he’ll put something away in the wrong spot and it will drive me batshit crazy. I’ve also vacuumed every day this week I think. And even though I’ve done it pretty much the last 3 days, I still got a (super, over-full) full canister of dirt and hair up off the carpets today. It just keeps coming out of nowhere and appearing for me to suck up every day. Its really, really bad, and now that I know how bad it is, I can’t stop. I actually vacuumed three times today before telling myself I could do it tomorrow, the dirt would still be there. I do think if I do this all week, I’ll actually be caught up on the dirt. I guess there are worse things to be obsessing about than cleaning though, right?
Dinner tonight was potato soup. I used all of the tiny potatoes from the box, the last of the leeks, a turnip that I shredded and snuck in, 2 shredded carrots, and the last of the asparagus from the other night. Yes, I’m hiding a giant turnip in my soup because bf hates them and he won’t even know its there if I don’t tell him. It’s like cooking for a little kid who won’t eat their veggies- you can argue about it, or hide them. I vote for hiding them.
Okay, today’s eats.
1 Cup Homemade Mac n Cheese 7.0
Coffee w/Milk & Sugar 1.4
Ham & Cheese Sandwich 5.8
Potato Soup w/Sour Cream 12.4
Skinny Cow Ice Cream Bar (1) 1.8

I’ll type up my totally winged soup recipe and share it in a bit. 
Now though, I’m going to watch a movie, finish my book, and do the dishes, but probably not in that order.
