short and sweetner

This one will be short… Earlier I posted an older post because it fit...tonight I am posting a new post because part of my process is to blog daily...Here it is! Today I realized: We are all just people trying to get through life the best we can. Bullies suck! Goji Berries are amazing! I am truly blessed and want to do everything I can do to be a blessing to others! I have no ulterior motives behind doing the things I do. Love is why we exist. That is all! Happy eating, Healthy living and see you on the flip!

Simple Choices!!!!

Simple Choices…HA! We are faced with choices every day. In fact, everything we do involves a choice. From what we drive to what we wear, we make a decision about everything we do. I certainly do not think any choice is easy, however, some do become habitual and therefore we do them instinctively. Food for me is never simple. The choice is always about quantity, and never good for my body. I am a TASTER,I love the taste of sweet, rich food, sauces and pastas, rice and grains and all the things that turn into fat in my body. Yesterday I made a choice to buy yogurt instead of donuts. Today I made the choice to eat healthy again, in fact I had a huge salad for dinner and chicken baked with rosemary and a yogurt and an apple. My goal here is to start making these healthy choices turn into instinctively automated choices. I don’t think I will ever become a SIMPLE eater, I will always want to enjoy a tasty Milky Way to a stalk of celery.I will totally always want fresh Lasagna to Smart Ones lasagna or eggplant/zucchini lasagna with no noodles. What I am going to try to do is cook the Eggplant version and learn to do it without noticing the Stouffers one. I will always want new shoes or cologne instead of the new socks I desperately need too. My point here is that there will always be choices and they should all be thoughtfully and prayerfully considered if we are to avoid the downfalls that society put in our face. Lets all try to make better choice in general, and in all aspects of our lives (except when it comes to shoes, they still will probably win). Thanks for reading this, God Bless

The New Year blahhhhhg

So, here I am on the first night of the great 2014!!! HOORAY!!! To be honest though, I’m in kind of a shitty mood. Why? I don’t know… So far the New Year hasn’t brought me riches; in fact I spent more than I should have. I went to weigh in at a popular weight loss center and guess what? CLOSED! Closed for the holiday, which would be fine if they would update their web site to reflect the cancelled meeting...(after all today should be the busiest day of the year for them). Then I noticed a giant hole in my new shirt that I got to look great with my new shoes that I bought right before I found out that I needed to renew my car registration. I got my credit report in the mail….don’t even ask. I woke up with a stiff neck. Went to the grocery store, to buy donuts, to lift my spirit, but my senses kicked in and I bought yogurt. I realized that New Years Day has not brought forth a significant other nor has it fixed my ailing car nor has it paid off my student freaking loans… This New Years Day thing is not a time to get excited for what’s possibly going to happen in the New Year, It is more like a day set aside to look back and see all the things you did wrong over the past twelve months. So I can’t weigh in until Friday and it really has me pissed off…I am still trying pretty hard to stay on track, but my mood is a big obstacle today. On a positive note I have done the following things to a degree of great success; I have music playing in my house again. I am getting ready to work out in a bit. I have begun to save money. My house is cleanish. I have a plan. I have my Lord. The rest of it will be ok in the morning! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
