My Food Critique

I am a huge fried pickle fan. So just for your information, I'm going to let you know my faves.

1st Place: Brewers. Why? cause the pickles they use are zesty pickles. They are cut long ways, which isn't my favorite, but they taste the best and they aren't too greasy.

2nd place: Buffalo Wild Wings. They are cut like pictured above and very good.

3rd Place: The Crossing. Also cut long way, but they use regular dill pickles.

Honorable Mention: Burgers N Beer. Not bad....not great.

Worst: Texas Roadhouse. Almost got ill after eating them. SOOOO GREASY and SALTY. Gross.

Stick to the goodies. Brewers, Buffalo Wild Wings, and The Crossing. Hey....does Famous Daves have them? They have the Best pickles.....imagine them fried....yum.

Trying not to get depressed

So I'm trying really hard to not get depressed. I've been blaming my "monthly visitor" but it's been two weeks now. I can pretty much pin point what it is that makes me depressed. Having gone through a bout of depression several years ago, I have learned to identify when it's happening and I can pretty much snap myself out of it. But it's been lingering this time. Can't seem to shake it. Back in the day, I was depressed because I thought I was fat. Silly.....no, stupid, I know, but I couldn't get myself out of the funk. Now, it's a little of that again, but mostly, I'm overwhelmed. Now, I know that there are women with TONS more on their plate and they seem to handle it graciously. Me? I sit on the edge of my bed and cry. That's how I handle stress. But before it gets bad....I'm going to do something about it!

I started working out this morning. Yay. I'm going to do Jillian Michaels 30-day Shred for 15 days. Then I will do the P90X for approximately 60 days. Can't commit for the whole time. I need to enjoy Christmas. I also went to Walmart and bought a new workout outfit. I didn't need to because I have purchased several outfits before. But with each new one, I think "Oh yeah......THIS is the outfit I need. THIS will make me exercise. I mean....look how cute and FIT it looks." Yeah I still just wear my black sweats and old Youth Conference T-Shirt.
I will be following the diabetic diet to help my daughter and my family. We will ALL eat the diet a lot more strictly! I will also commit to set time aside organizing my crazy house. One area a week. I'll take my time, but I'll be quick about it! I truly believe that the condition of your home can set your own mood and your family's mood. So....why haven't done it yet? I don't know. Tons of stuff to do. What stuff? Stuff! OK! Stuff!

In case you're wondering.....I'm sitting at the edge of my bed typing this.
