FDA HUMAN FOOD RECALL and Update
Hi everyone! So how did your weekend go? Mine was pretty good, although I wasn't crazy about all the rain we got, I did get a lot of sleep -so that was good. I'm so looking forward to this coming Friday! That's the day I get my new ink!!! I have a lot going on this week, so I'm thinking about taking the next 2 days off from blogging, and posting a new post on Thursday. That all could change though, it just depends on how well I manage my time and all the things I have to do. Who knows? I might post again Tuesday or Wednesday or both - LOL --
But I thought it was best that I tell you not to expect a post for the next 2 days just in case.
I've been doing really well with my plan and staying OP. I know it's harder for me on the weekends, but I managed to get through it almost effortlessly. I say almost because I did have temptations around me, but I was really strong and had control of my eating and feelings/emotions etc... So it's becoming like a habit to stay OP and avoid certain foods almost automatically. Almost.. I don't think I'll ever relax around food again. And you know what, that's ok with me. I am a healthier person because I'm not relaxed and that's good. I'll always have a food addiction and have that little voice in the back of my mind saying "Oh you can have a little of that, it wont hurt you." or "You have worked so hard today, you should reward yourself with a piece of cake." or "You are so stressed out, why don't you have some comfort food to make you feel better."
I know I'll always have that, but I usually snuff out that little voice by calling it bad names (LOL) and it usually goes away in a hurry.
I'm just feeling like I have more control over my life and health than I've ever had before, and it really is an amazing feeling.
There's been a HUMAN food recall by the FDA on olives. I'm copying & pasting a print version of my local news that covered it. Please be aware of when you go to Subway to avoid the olives, pass the info on to family and friends so they are not exposed to the danger too.
*NEWS*
Olive Recall
The FDA has issued a warning to consumers about olives that have been recalled due to a possible contamination of a deadly bacterium.
The olives were produced by an Italian company and sold nationwide under brand names such as Borrelli, Vantia and Roland. The olives may be contaminated with a botulism causing bacterium. All the affected olives have product codes that start with the letter "G" followed by three or four digits.
Botulism symptoms include muscle weakness, dizziness, double vision and trouble speaking and swallowing. No illnesses have been reported in connection with these olives.
*END OF NEWS*
Ok y'all I'm off, I'll more than likely see you Thursday when I plan on posting again, but ya never know it could be sooner!
I hope each one of you use today to get closer to your goal. Weight loss isn't easy, but it is worth every ounce of effort you put into it! And we all know that ounces add up to pounds...
Happy Monday all!

Hope you find the time
I certainly hope you find the time to check in, even if only for a short post. I look forward to reading your blog every day.
Kudos for keeping those food cravings at bay. Of course it isn't always easy, yet it is so rewarding!
Have a great week.

Me too!
I get those voices too and then I think how my body will react if I eat them, I change my mind. I don't like the feeling of being bloated when I eat something with too much sugar or sodium. When you listen to your body, you learn how it reacts.
Thanks for the post on olives. I love them, although I don't have any right now. Hope they can fix the problem soon.

Time off
I think from time to time we all need some "time off", I hope you do come back to pop in and say hi, you will be missed! However, I do hope you do get caught up on some things you need to get caught up on. I know just how it feels to be overwhelmed and busy! Crossing my fingers this week is another repeat of last week!
You know what you are right, Im glad that I put so much into thinking about food and eating right, I know aot of family and friends would call it an obsession, but its a good obsession. I wouldn't want to be without thinking abuot how many calories is going to be my breakfast etc. You are right weight loss is worth every ounce and im glad to say Im healthy and happy!
Thank you for that ispirational message! Just as you are excited for your tattoo on Friday so am I!!!! I can't wait!!! I just hate the sun-burn feeling afterwards!
Have a fun time off! Will be checking on you! Have an awesome Tuesday!
