Päiväkirja - Rowanfair, 25 helmi 13

177 on the scale this morning. OMG, please let this loss stay around!!!

I made a nice veggie casserole yesterday with just the stuff I had around the house - zucchini, mushrooms & spinach - baked in an egg & cream sauce. It turned out really well and I like having something I can just re-heat. I have so gotten out of the habit of cooking.

As I am starting to come out of it - either because I am now taking thyroid hormones or just because it has run its course - I realize that I have been fairly depressed for the last ten months since I got laid off. I didn't *feel* depressed and it was most likely situational rather than brain chemistry-related. But I haven't been cooking or doing much beyond maintenance. Now, partly, that is the feeling of "I can't go out I don't have an income". And partly it is my tennis elbow makes it harder to drive or walk. But that doesn't mean I couldn't go sit in a park or go out geocaching or something. I'm practically agoraphobic at this point.

Or, as my friend Caroline says to say, "I *was* like that but I'm not going forward." Henceforth I shall sally forth into the world and engage. And hopefully a job will come along really soon that could use my mad skillz.

The "safe starches" are a concept I got from a book called _The Perfect Health Diet_ (also see blog by that name). They advocate a moderate carb diet and allow root vegetables (which makes sense to me) and rice (which makes no sense at all). Since Primal/Paleo allows some root vegetables I added sweet potatoes and stopped saying "no onions" and "no carrots". I wasn't logging my food - partly depression and partly trying out whether I could maintain. So I'm not totally sure what got me - starches (of which I didn't eat that many really) or volume (did I get worse at portion control without noticing?) was the culprit. Taking classes is a good idea. I did take a watercolour class for awhile but it didn't really grab me. But it was nice to get out and paint. I had been volunteering but the major surgery in November sort of halted that for the moment. I'm all better and need to get back to it.

I paint, but not so much lately. I am hesitant to get out my paints because it is hard to not make a mess. My husband is super neat and I just am not. Maybe if I get a new tackle box or something.
