Back on Track

Good morning!  I just wanted to check-in.  I have been continuing to try to get back on track with the ol' food plan.  I am so close to getting it right!  Monday I did everything right except have a damned frappucino and a candy bar.  Tuesday I was ultra-busy and ate lunch a couple hours late.  Then I bought a candy bar without even thinking about it and didn't realize I was off-plan until it was in my hand.  And then I ate it.  So today, without further ado, I bring you Day One of Back on Track.  I can do it!  I know I feel so much better when I don't have sugar.  I've managed not to have any bread products for the last three days; I've just been struggling with the whole sugary-stuff-thing.

My fridge is loaded up with protein and vegetables so I have the tools; I just need to stick to that darned plan!

Tonight I will be working on my first original recipe, and I can't wait to share with you.  Hopefully by the weekend I will have it tested and posted.

Is there anything that has been a big temptation to you lately?  Have you been able to resist, and if so, how?

Have a fab day!

Gardening and Giveaways

Gardening

This summer my sister and niece helped me revamp a couple big flower beds.  Talk about a workout!  Squatting, digging, pulling, planting.  I felt so hardcore when we were done!  Aaah, I love workouts that are just built into your life. No need to carve out time to go the gym when you are busting your hiney in your own yard and getting something else done, besides.



 Don't mind me, I'm showing off a pair of gardening gloves I got for my birthday.  Can you tell my favorite color is green?

The gardening workout was doubly enjoyable because of the sisterly/niece-ly bonding and the neat and tidy flower beds that came out of it.  And every time I look at the flower beds I can remember a great visit with family who I see far too seldom.
