Clearing the clutter and making room...

All right, all right... I'm going to "fess up" and admit my screw-up from last night.  I noticed on the SB Food List that I was able to have a sugar-free fudgecicle.... but I don't eat chocolate.... so there I was at the local grocery store getting some black beans so I could actually make a mexican salad tomorrow and for an unknown reason I gravitated towards the frozen food section... there standing opposite me with nothing but an icy cold see through door was some Weight Watchers Toffee Ice Cream Bars (2 points on WW if you're counting).  In a moment of weakness, I bought them (justifying all the time that if you can have a fudgecicile, you should be able to have this... and after all, the chocolate on it probably isn't even real, and if it is,,, there is only this tiny little bit).  Unfortunately, in another moment of weakness between 10pm-11pm (I really have to get to bed earlier - which wont be a problem come next week and my 6am Baking Lab) I ate one.  I've felt guilty about it all day.  Ok ok I ate two, but honestly that's the whole truth;  and I did say from the start that no matter what this was a "no holds bars" documentation of my journey, so that includes honesty at all times.  Does this mean I should go to confession on Sunday?

But I digress.  The point of my blog today is clearing clutter and making room... and although this may be somewhat metaphorical, it's literal too.  I spent the day yesterday going through all of my clothes and set aside anything I haven't worn in the past year.  I decided that if I'm going to be successful, I have to really let go, and that includes clothes I never wear.  I laundered them, packed them all up and brought them to our local rescue mission type place here in our town.  After all, they're good clothes and someone out there can put them to good use.  I left the place feeling so good that not even the pending rain that would delay my kayak outing with friends got me down.  Since then, I've tried very hard to really take note on how I'm feeling and relate it to eating healthier.  The inner pessimist in me didn't even try to sneak out and make me feel guilty for last nights moment of weakness (which is odd...) so I guess I really am letting go and making room both on the inside and out....

OK, this is where I shined tonight!  Early this am I marinated 6 medium sized  raw shrimp (shell and all) in a little lime zest, juice, chipotle chili, thyme, and cayenne pepper.  Tonight I grilled it with two baby zucchini from my garden and of course, you know it, it's getting to be a theme here.... some sauteed swiss chard (I have to eat it while it's plentiful in the garden.
