Food is Good

We’ve had some good eats this week. Steak, fresh produce, and new recipes. Thanks to you all for the supportive comments on my new diet experiment. I realize how defensive that post was. I’m often a defensive person (it’s on my list of things to work on) when I feel my motives are misunderstood or [...]

Going Primal

I decided to delete my last post after a I received a comment from Richard over at Primal Fed. I always double check sites that leave comments mainly because I get so many spam comments. I started reading Richard and Amanda’s blog and l was intrigued by their success and recipes on the Paleo plan. Paleo is very much [...]

This Post is About Food

Guess what? I have lots of food photos and thoughts to share this week! I think I’m due for a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday update.

Wednesday:

My favorite breakfast.

Total calories: 335 (two slices of whole wheat toast, 1/2 T butter, 1 egg w/ feta, spinach, 2 pieces of bacon)

Two oatmeal cookie balls (my [...]

What is Enough?

Yesterday’s breakfast was a banana nut muffin and hardboiled egg. Two breakfast items that I have ready for grabbing and eating in the morning. I love having healthy prepared food on hand for mornings that I just want to eat and not cook (most mornings). I almost always wake up hungry and this is enough [...]

Staying Hydrated

I’ve been on my game this week with food and exercise, and you know what? It’s making everything else go a lot smoother. My stress is down, I feel good, I am hopeful, and I’m more productive. All of those things make me happy and life just a little more manageable. I believe everything is [...]

For Tuesdays breakfast I had a blueberry nut muffin with 1/2 cup whole organic yogurt, 1 T all-fruit strawberry jam and 1 T cashew honey butter. 445 calories

Later on in the day I had another muffin: 200 calories

For lunch I made Jamie Olivers/The Pioneer Woman’s Asian Noodle Salad (300 calories per serving)

April Continues

Last week I was swamped. Catching up on projects, sending out jewelry, and doing a lot of cooking. I took photos of my food, but before I knew it I was going to bed. I just didn’t have the time and energy to post last week, but there was another issue going on.

This could [...]

Do it Anyway

This poem by Mother Teresa has been on my mind lately…

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some [...]

Mental Notes

I woke up yesterday and enjoyed a small slice of leftover quiche with a glass of orange juice. A total of 395 calories. For a mid-morning snack I had an orange juice frozen pop (Josh wanted me to mention that he made these all by himself- a tricky method of pouring orange juice in a [...]

PB and J Oatmeal

As soon as I woke up this morning I ate half of a banana and 1 C of Uncle Matt’s orange juice. I was feeling the need to eat very lightly and keep heavy foods out of my system. 165 calories

Around 11am I got hungry again and was in the mood for a [...]
