oohoo... I'm officially a year older, wait, is getting old really woohoo-able? Still being here is a happy thing, so we'll woohoo to that.
Yes having a birthday is definitely woohooable!!

My woohoo is that I have gotten up early to walk every day so far this week. Well except for today. I won't walk by myself early in the morning or after dark so i go with DH. He works from home 4 days a week so those are the days that I walk with him. This morning he was leaving at 445 or 5 because he has to leave the house by 6 for work when in the office. That is just too earlier for me. Maybe I can handle that later down the road but right now 530 is the earliest I am getting up.
I got my breakfast at Starbucks this morning, but I got unsweetened iced tea, so no dairy. Well done me.
I had to buy new pants. I hate buying clothes, but it's a good thing. I'm now wearing the same size that I wore during my first year in law school, which was 10 years ago.
Dancing banana celebrates that you are off to a great start with your morning walks - and i don't blame you earlier than 5.30 would be to hard for me too - but maybe there is something else you could do in the house those days that you can't walk - although I know sometimes exercising in the house is hard if you are trying not to wake the kids too early...
But there are so many approaches and theories to eating … what is guiding your choices and why? Do you think you are getting it right or are there changes that help your success with your goal?
Bonus: Do you have a favorite food or recipe that you include in your weekly food plan?

My first birthday present came yesterday, an 'Adventurers Kit' from the website Minimus that sells sample and single-use sizes of tons of stuff. The kit is full of things an adventurer would need, like poison ivy ointment, Advil, bug spray. I'll be getting my second present tonight, a travel watercolor and sketching kit: one of the days in Alaska we're doing a land excursion, which includes sketching and water color journaling, something I've been wanting to get in to. My third present comes either today or tomorrow, the book that the gal I took my block printing class from just published. Fourth gift will be a Birds of Alaska book, that should come Friday. I get one gift per decade, so I'm still working on the last two... maybe I'll wait and get a couple things form the yarn store hosting the retreat.
Full disclosure... I got my breakfast at Starbucks this morning, but I got unsweetened iced tea, so no dairy. Well done me.
And tonight I have my first NAET appointment - hippy!
Recently, I have been putting taco seasoning on a chicken breast and throwing it on the George Foreman and serving it with diced avocado on top with a squeeze of lime. Also served with a veggie and a little rice or something. So good and EASY
Happy Belated Birthday, @Oneanne However, I have been upping the grains recently. I thought I was so addicted to them, but I think a lot of that was mental drama. I am struggling a little with moderation still though. Sorting through that one currently.... I did have a bit of a gain these past two weeks, but I managed to right the ship a little according to the scale this morning by going back to my old ways (basically cut the grains to a more reasonable serving and cut back on the sweets).
Hello everyone!! I missed you all! I kept reading, but posting just didn’t happen. Work was 12 hour days. Now I hope to have a relaxing weekend and get back some energy. The good news is that I managed to still eat responsibly through the stress! My husband was a great help there. We both are trying to lose weight, so he was helping me to not lose focus. It is great to have a support group at home!!
