Hi again!

: I struggled with the time aspect as well, but from quite different directions, I wanted as long as possible in bed of a morning before flying out, and I was in a huff about every day.......

[Pam] Mmm ... I'm a bit *afraid* of every day, so I fly out of bed to conquer it before it can conquer me!

: so I made shake the night before and then it was just there in the fridge at the ready after a stir. Frozen berries would complicate that though... but I suppose could fling them in and re blend ... well you get the idea its just about prioritising You by whatever means :h6)

[Pam] Yes. :h6) And I think I can still use this idea -- I could put all the non-frozen stuff in the blender and pop the whole thing in the fridge, and in the morning take it out and add the frozen and a bit of water and blend. It's really only a few minutes' difference, but it might make *all* the difference -- since I'm at the point now where I triumphantly pour out my shake at 59 minutes ... and then remember that the goal is not to have breakfast *made* within the hour, and I still need to get it in me!

: Yes I am savoury of tooth all the way. Sweet tastes have just the same effect on me biochemically but I just don't like sweet much. It gave me some games looking at sugar addiction till I realised just swapping a word here and there was just the same ... sugar/white rice/pasta/bread etc , same for me! :h6)

[Pam] Oh, that is so interesting. It never occurred to me that I could be affected by sugar without having it be a go-to for me (and it is, anyway, as long as there's fat with it -- I'm just not a gummy bear person, for example) ... and you are so right about swapping words -- I have no doubt at all when it comes to white pasta. If I eat it more than two or three days in a row, I literally don't want anything else; and I realized a while back that there is no "enough" for me with that stuff -- there's "all there is" or "as much as I can get away with without people looking at me funny" or "I couldn't possibly get in another bite" but there is no "satisfied." Thankfully the brown rice pasta doesn't affect me the same way -- so grateful for that!!

: oh and I love a list :h4)

: I have a daily list, long term lists and theres a daily list space in my journal. perhaps I'm addicted to lists :h6) But just writing puts my brain in order and makes life easy

[Pam] So agree!!! :h2)
