Cooking and moving.
Getting it down and keeping it simple. That's my aim in the kitchen, now. Life is too full and glorious to spend it slaving in the kitchen. LOL!!!
B - Oatmeal, rehydrated mangos and blueberries and a bit of soymilk.
L - Edamame salad (a little of this, a little of that...black beans, red peppers, scallions, corn, quinoa...) and sweet potatoes.
S - Corn Thin and Apple
Snack - Water, lemon water and sparking water.
Long ramble to follow, skipping is advised. LOL!
Okay. Okay. I thought about this over the weekend. This posting thing is purely for accountability. And on the days when I don't post, don't show up and be seen, things haven't fallen apart. On Fridays, I usually eat out as a treat to myself for a good week and I always make good choices along with a bit of off-track food. No alarms. But these are learning adventures. On my birthday last week, the office threw a party complete with the lunch of my choice, a paper tiara and a giftie. And yes, I ate off-track, but not very far. And no, last week I didn't lose, I gained a bit. "Trust the process" ran thru my mind. And "don't wait until tomorrow, choose right now."
The thing is, life presents moments. No self-flogging, no scolding. Acceptance, loving myself and keep moving. Amazingly, this is different than anything before and is working WAY better! LOL! No kidding.
Today is a new day, yesterday was a new day went I started in on it! Yesterday was great, the day before was great. I love this way of living life and eating. It makes me happyHAPPY!!! When I eat off-track, I am keenly aware of my body's reaction to the food. "WHOA!!! That is NASTY sweet" and "OHMYWORD!!! That BLEW me up like a balloon! And now the air wants OUT!" LOL!!!
This process, this learning is great. I'm happy to be here and happy to eat ON-TRACK. Divergence is educational but not the norm.
Over the weekend, I listened to more talks from the last Advanced Study Weekend (gifted to me for my birthday by my husband and our eldest son. <3) And my strong resolve gains strength. I hear again, the reasons for good and happy choice. I hear about the life I am and will live. ONWARD!!! Just ONWARD!!!
