Carry on

Yesterday's breakfast was a peanut butter and jelly panini with a serving of Noosa raspberry yogurt, almond slivers and strawberries. I'm loving this yogurt and I only serve a left! noooooo. The panini was really good, although messy. I found this panini in the weekend and just flat breads cut it in quarters, spread peanut butter and jam on the middle and roast in the skillet for a few minutes.

I made another batch of soup yesterday and had a big bowl of it for lunch. This was just as good and now I have leftovers for today. I am looking for a tomato soup now, preferably without much room, does anyone have a recipe?

For early dinner I had two pancakes made with Bob's Red Mill whole grain Mix. I added a handful of frozen blueberries and topped with butter and agave maple syrup. Blueberries make the best pancake mixers!

For a late dinner I had peanut butter and chocolate banana soft serve. Only two frozen bananas, 1 T peanut butter, 1 T cocoa pureed in the kitchen machine. Just like soft serve! Best invention ever, thank you internet.

No exercise yesterday. I have no real excuse. Felt under the weather, down, wonky knee ... the usual. Will exercise today, no excuses.

I've lost weight and it feels really good. I do my best to just put my head down and keep going. In the beginning stages of losing weight, I start to get excited, so often. I start to think, I got this. And then I get full of confidence and I stop doing what I'm doing to reach my goals, and I quickly go from that I have this what the heck just happened? I get in my head. I forgot my process, so just trust that confidence comes track.

Along with this blog I keep a detailed journal at my side. I write down everything. And I do this so I can go back and see what worked and what didn't. I use it for those weeks when I don't lose a lot of weight, or when I lose weight. So I can see exactly what is going on. Weight gain is sometimes just a salty meal or not keeping an accurate record. And so many times I let those little things upset me when the scale is displayed a bump and think, why not try? And that is crap. Forest for the trees!

I don't want to use this expression, but it is appropriate for how I feel: keep calm and Carry On. I just want to trust that I do the right thing and that Yes I am losing weight and that Yes I should do this every day and not it kills me not, and Yes I can have what I want, and no I don't have everything and Yes I can make of switches, and I'm okay. I know that if I want a Blueberry Pancake for dinner, I'm going to eat vegetable soup for lunch. And I can do that and still lose weight. I am losing weight. Whew!

Sunburst Squash

Yesterday morning I had a toasted croissant, 1 serving Noosa blueberry yogurt (very good!), with strawberries and blueberries. Me and Josh picked these same yogurt while shopping over the weekend and didn't know that until we came home and three containers being extracted. It is incredible and tastes like cream (in a good way) more than that kind of gross fakey-sour taste that most have yogurt.

For lunch I had a large salad with dark leafy green, cucumber, Dr. Praeger of sweet potato patty, and an organic chicken and Apple sausage.

I did it 30 minutes biggest loser Bootcamp with Bob. I can't tell you when I bought this, but it has been a while. I have searched for a DVD that I can while my knee replaced madness continues to heal. It's still twingy. But, I've noticed that the more I exercise the better consistently with traffic and keep it feels.

For second lunch I had a small bowl of fresh market brand raisins bran. Josh made this dish for me if he, with blueberries and eats a little honey. I never knew blueberries in grains could be so good!

The dinner was another great salad with cucumbers, fried mushrooms + baby squash, creamy dressing and a wedge of panini bread. I really like the squash in sauces over alone, they were just too bitter like this. I ended up eating around them in favor of the mushrooms.

I had this frozen Greek yogurt Pops Yasso later in the evening. They are so good and great for 70 calories!

Until the end of the day (I was still hungry) I had about 3/4 cup of the vegetable fried rice that I created for Josh for dinner.

Finding peace with food

The day started very early (so early, it was dark) with my last portion raspberry almond slivers on top of noosa and a few.

I had a bowl of peanut butter and jelly banana soft serve for late breakfast.

For lunch I had a bowl of vegetable soup first (photo on yesterday's post), and then a few hours later I shared some thin crust pizza with Josh.

For dinner I made a big batch of tomato soup with sour cream and grilled cheese Panini. I was out of regular Bouillon so I had to use a pho soup starter Broth, who gave a more Citrus kind taste. It was really good and so easy to make! Only two large cans of diced tomatoes, 1 + 7 cloves of garlic baked in olive oil onlion, 4 cups of broth, salt to taste, and then about 1/4 c. sour cream. I used my hand blender to make it smooth and creamy.

Yesterday was a day food-heavy (heavy dairy!) for me, but it was not out of control. I'm finding a nice place where I am never really full or really hungry and prevents 95% of my calls overeating or binge. I eat also frequent, smaller meals, during the day, that is something I never thought would work for me, but it is.  I am learning to get over my fear food and stop worrying so much. And I remind myself daily that will consistently me to get there and to rely on the process. I'm trusting that I don't have to starve myself, or eat foods that I don't to lose weight. I just need a lot less of it.

I have a bunch of work force and resistance band yesterday and followed with some much needed thorough cleaning. I'm in the process of completely cleaning the House inside and out and turning in a nice workout.

Panacea

I pretend that raw juice all things in life can fix it. It is like the windex of good health. I felt the FuNky this morning, so I got my friend ol' juicer demolished and began.

YOU JUICE? What are your thoughts on the foam the gathers at the top? I rarely drink it. The foam is not my panacea.

In other news I finally my Strong knees DVD in the mail! That's going to happen today. Apparently I have to do it every day for it to work. I'm not good at something to do every day, but I'm tired of having a funky knee from falling on a dog goodness.

And in other news-I lost 3 more pounds last week take me t0 13 total pounds lost!

And more, more other news thank to those who supported my Wear Spring good ecourse. I tell you, putting stuff in the world is not for the faint of heart. I am a timid mouse who fears and doubts way more than I ever have to admit, and people just say "hey, I made something, you might like it" makes me want to crawl into a hole is full. Because, what if they don't like it?

What if they think I'm a loser who makes ebooks? What if they think my design or writing is bad? What if they don't get? What if people will only respect me if I have a "real" job? What if people are tired of me trying to make a living off of my creativity? What if I'm not respected?

What if, what if, what if. Is not all so stupid? I want more brave and live with the learning process, but it is not easy. I want more graceful. If anyone ever tells you that na is a dream or do something else simple that they lie. No one will ever tell you that anyway.

And further more, something to do, something completely will raise eyebrows. You might as well do it anyway. So with that said, if you're totally interested in an ebook filled with 90 pages of style, inspiration, wearing it is good just that. now and until the end of March you can pay what you want. What does that mean for $ 5, 10, 16 or $ 13.25, 28 + you can buy my ebook. And then you can email me and tell me what you like or don't like about, because I really want to know. So I can make it even better next time.

Why not today?

I saw this print hanging on to a local eatery in Lexington (virginia) last week and had to take a picture.  This is a question I ask myself when I feel resistance to change. Why not today?

Thank you for the birthday wishes well and encouragement to my goals. I know that this is not the first time that I made goals, whether a plan on this blog and so yes, I am aware, but I do it anyway. Today I'm on a 13 pound weight loss and I know that this process will continue to snowball, I have to do it.

I was so spoiled for my birthday last week, many times. Josh took me to the Safari Park (near Lexington) and I laughed so hard I cried.

I mean, where else in the world you can go and say "I had a camel's head in my car!"?

or a Zebra? I wanted this guy take home with me.

Lexington is such a cute little town, it is perfect for a day, just make sure you get there before 5 pm when everything in the city closes.

We had dinner in the Michele, a French restaurant located right off the exit Lexington. We ate here on our first anniversary and it was just as good as a remembered. This salad with fried goat cheese and prosciutto and citrus dressing was heaven. I had the Poached Salmon with lobster sauce for dinner with a side of heirloom carrots and mashed potatoes. Dessert was a deep dish apple custard pie with a shortbread crust and homemade butter pecan ice cream. Nothing else needs to be said about the glory of the Michele! He even took time to come and talk with us.

And so now things have settled, I'm back to regular eating and posting my food again. This was simple and delicious lunch that was just yesterday, Arugula, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes in a spinach wrap. I made a dressing of sour cream, half and half, garlic, dill and oregano. This was a good meal feel.

For exercise I've done a session of Jillian's 30 day shred, I woke up with sore arms to put ice on this morning and made sure my knee wankel thereafter. Can I just say (for the millionth time) that having a problem with my knee really puts everything in a new perspective. I fell on a dog, four weeks ago (five weeks?) and while I've been told that this kind of injury can take up to four months to heal well, makes me appreciate and see how much I take for granted the ability to move. It is frustrating to not feel like me and to wake up with pain, and have to take precautions, this is new for me, but I am working through it.

I also got a knee band that I wear to sleep and during the exercise and it helped tremendously.

For breakfast this morning I had an oatmeal and fruit smoothie. I don't like it, but I'm gonna try again tomorrow. I think I had too many flavors going on: oatmeal, vanilla unsweetened almond milk, bananas, honey, blueberries and coconut. Plain almond milk would perhaps be the best?
