A Maintainer's World

Whew, what a week, Boston, National Library Week (busy at my day job) and now we are at this week's end.  I am at 159lbs right now and doing well.  Practicing a lot of conscious eating, knowing when I am stressed and dealing with it right then and there; and still no white refined sugar or HFCS for over 18 months.   I am using maple sugar in my morning Cream of Wheat and I really love it.  I was at a gathering a few months ago and the feast was Mediterranean--I was happy!! Then they brought out the dessert--baklava!!! Yikes!! So I asked the caterers if this was made by them and she said yes and I asked her the ingredients---the only thing I was listening for was honey NOT Syrup, yay, yes, the butter, yada, yada--I mostly worry about my triggers and if she had said syrup---I would have just moved on--no worries.  I had 2 small diamond pieces.  Haven't thought about baklava since until typing this post.  I didn't want to run to the closest Greek or Mediterranean restaurant and order a tray to eat. 
My heart goes out to the City of Boston and the families of the victims and the injured.
