Not afraid of snakes but get a Palmetto Bug (giant flying cockroach) within ten foot of me and watch me run. It's one reason I left Florida. On a happier note, I swapped soda for water, cut out the sweets and have been keeping cals under 1500. Down four pounds in less than a week, water weight I know but still a good thing. Stress from the job situation is getting worse though. I will know tomorrow if I have a new (better) job but did cheat today and eat a Mrs Freshly's raspberry creme filled cake. 390 cals, way too much for emotional eating.
My new obsession is the take it and bake it package at my local grocery store. A piece of Tilapia, salmon or shrimp, pick favorite veggies (summer squash, broccoli, and zucchini are mine) Choice of seasoning (lemon pepper) and they put into a sealed foil pouch. Into the toaster oven to steam for 15 minutes and yum. $5.99 so cheaper than buying it separately.
