Teach a girl to POP her own popcorn and she will eat until she is SICK.  I am so FULL.  I could not stop my hand from reaching my mouth.  I bought the bag of organic yellow popping corn (Central Market brand) a month ago, or longer.  I was apprehensive about the task.  Would the oil jump out of the pan with viscious flames attached and remove my eyebrows?  Would the popcorn pop out of control and fill up the kitchen (in my movie...it happens JUST like that)?

None of that occurred.  Well, there was alot of popping and the lid to the pot was coming off sans flames aimed at my eyebrows.  I'm okay.  I'm stuffed. I'm a little sick because I'm too full.  I didn't stop eating until I got that rollercoaster feeling.  The one you get after eating and riding.  You have no choice.  You MUST ride the rollercoaster.  Lunch was just apart of life.  The ride was vital.  Eating this popcorn was exactly like that.  I will walk a bit sideways for a few hours, but it will pass.  It was well worth it.

My stomach is UPSET with my food choices

No tea.
No mint.
No tomato.
No wine.
No carbonated drinks.
No acidic fruits (lime, orange, grapefruit, etc.).

Friday, I had the Starbucks Refresher Tea with lime, mint and raspberry on an empty-ish stomach (mixed the two options).  Today I had a sparkling Izze, citrus (clementine and orange) because I thought the natural bubbles would kill the unnatural yucky feeling in my tummy.  Nauseated...sooooo nauseated since Friday.  Was it worth it? Kinda.  All I want right now is fried chicken and FRIES, and I think that would just make me lose all sorts of weight right now if the nausea progressed to the upheaval level (bad for the teeth, good for the jeans).

I have found that it depends on whether or not my stomach is empty (thank you new workout* which upped my metabolism to crazier levels than ever before).  Homemade(my father) methods or local restaurants fry properly, so I must cut out chain food.  I drink tea (Arabic, so my stomach is possibly a snob) without issue. I avoid tomato sometimes, but love pizza (Zini's).  I drink sparkling water based beverages when I drink un-water.  I would choose WHISKEY over wine any day so all I really need to stay away from are oranges and grapefruits, and never work out again OR...enjoy the upped metabolism which means increasing the frequency of already frequent eating.

Done.

*new workout - I actually did something for 15min and didn't get bored.

Inspiration vs. Pinspiration

I'm not gonna lie.  I'm supposed to be creating right now.  The gigantic pile of un-crafted is giving me the stink eye. (If it were alive. More like a judge-y energy.)  Meanwhile, I've got bigger pins to find.  Pinterest is my arch nemesis, and my inspiration.  

Things like this fall onto my radar...
