Beyond Willpower

So yesterday was good. I stayed on plan. I felt reinvigorated in regards to my weight loss journey. I had alfredo with baked tofu, let me tell you how excited I am to be able to use my OVEN!!! I am SO excited. I don't have to fry and saute everything now out of necessity! That should help a lot. Anyhow, off topic,  last night I decided to put editing my nano book from last year on the back burner (not entirely, I still plan to work on it as a reward for getting my 1666 word count in every day on the new nano book) but yes, I'm going to participate in National Novel Writing Month.  There is a midnight kick off tonight at eat n' park so I'm going up there for the write in. Wooooo! :) Okay, so, back on topic, today is day two of being totally on plan. Once I pass day three or so it usually gets easier. Off topic again, I see I'm getting a lot of traffic from gothise, how are you guys coming from there getting here? I looked but didn't see any links anywhere.....

So, there has been some ruckus around here lately. I was cooking for a friend recently and the carbon monoxide detector went off a bit after our meal. It was a reading of 77 in the hallway and 256 in the kitchen. (It should be 0 at all times.) So, I called the fire department. They said it was coming from the kitchen and might be the stove. I was told to open all the windows and that the gas man would be coming. Let me just say, I rent. I've lived in this place, with this stove from surely 1970 (it was that awful goldenrod color) for 13 years. The gas man said it wasn't the stove, but that the gas line needed to be replaced anyhow. It may have been the carbon build up on my pots and pans burning. The landlord's son in law came to replace it and saw what awful shape the stove was in. It's always been crooked and the oil in a pan will all fall to one side, and the feet on it were so rusted there was nothing that could be done to even it out. The oven never worked righ...
