Ramblings and Tales

I am going to tell tales on Pinkie! :)
Since I need to be drinking not just water and lots of it but also need to try to make my other drinks calorie free or nearly calorie free, I got some of those to go pouches of sugar free drinks to put in my water bottles when water is too boring. Well, because one of the flavors I like is fruit punch I was saying things like " Time for my red food dye" as I put it into my water bottle. Pinkie asked me about it and I said "well I have given up sodas, most breads, and most refined sugar so I need some vice so I choose red food dye." Never thinking she thought I was putting straight red food dye in my water. It took a couple of weeks to figure out that the reason she thought I was so whacko was because she thought I was doing just that! I was just commenting on the complete redness of the fruit punch and on the fact that I know it isn't the best of things to put in my system. Pinkie, I love ya!
Things have been pretty good except that I just can't seem to get around wanting to be "normal" and when out still eat way too fast so I get to have what is called progressive burps (PB) which is also kind of like playing mama bird and regurgitating my food. Not fun and I really need to work on realizing that I must eat the speed I need to and how others are eating is not a concern.
I need to do measurements again.
Some of the fun things I have had happen recently...
One of the guys at work said something like " you are getting slimmer"
I was over at my brothers and when I got there he said " you are a shadow of your former self"
Plus while visiting him we went for a walk and I pretty much kept up for the whole 2+ miles!
YEAH!!!!!
