boring domestic stuff
Aug. 1st, 2013 12:13 amThis past week has been terrifically busy; end of the month is always busy at one of my jobs. And for my other job, I'm starting a new project tomorrow that is to be a rush job, and finished in a week. So I'm gonna be busy still for quite a while, ahaha.
This week I bought some non-stick flexible mats for my dehydrator, and they are a GODSEND. I've always loved my dehydrator but things stick to the trays pretty bad. ESPECIALLY fruit. Trying to pry the dried fruit pieces off the hard plastic just made me end up with a bunch of dried fruit shards. Not yummy. I was pretty much only doing jerky because jerky is easier to get off the trays. But now with these mats.. omg NOTHING STICKS. Even the stickiest things, strawberries and tomatoes, popped right off. It's breathed a whole new life into my dehydrator tbh. This week alone I've done bananas, tomatoes, strawberries, beef jerky, and I just took a batch of spiced apple slices off.
( Because I can't do anything without pictures.. )
I've encountered a problem where none of my pants fit anymore. They are too big..! I dug out an old pair of jeans from college that fit, though, so.. yay! I also have a pair of skinny jeans that I bought a while ago but didn't really fit.. they fit more comfortably now. So I'm not completely pantless yet. I weighed myself for the first time in a month and I've lost 12 pounds in 30 days. Bringing my total to at least 50 pounds lost* in the past 4.5 months. Ahaha. I feel marginally proud of myself. I feel like I found a cheat code to life. Eating paleo is really so easy. I want to tell everyone about it. But I don't want to be that ~asshole HeAlThY EaTeR who tries to evangelize to everybody they know.
*I'm not sure what I weighed when I started, but I was over the Wii Fit's max, and it wouldn't weigh me/let me use it anymore, so I know at least that much.
( Here have some more pics of random food related stuff.. )
