China and Chub

My diet this weekend has mostly consisted of cereal. Not because I am engaging in emotional eating, but because I have no desire to eat or cook. I just won't enjoy the food, and cereal is comforting and easy when my stomach says it is hungry. Part of me has felt like a zombie walking. The only exercise I've had is walking. I try to walk to clear my head, but I have no motivation to go to the gym. I'm afraid that all of the emotions will overwhelm me and I am not ready to have a breakdown in the middle of the YMCA.

I am trying to surround myself with my friends who love me. Saturday I took another 25-mile bike ride with Becca. After that I stopped by a thrift store to pick up a few new plates since my previous favorite fell out of the cabinet and shattered all over. There are literally 100 plates in that cabinet- yet the one plate that I eat EVERY meal off of has to break. How gorgeous is this bowl? I can't wait to eat my morning oatmeal out of it!
Yesterday I met same friends for a post-church lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant. I had stir-fried veggies, tofu and a dallop of white rice. We had the most interesting group of people from all around the world with all different levels of education. The conversation was so enjoyable.

My friend Tina's sister had her 7-month old baby with her. Take a look at that chub! I'm still wishing that cellulite looked as good on me as it does on this chubby baby!
