Various Thoughts

1.  Thank you for all of the comments on my risotto dramatics.  I MAY try it again one day.

2.  A number of people have had a hard time commenting on my blog, so I have adjusted the settings for the comments.  I hope it is easier and it allows everyone to comment!

3.  I had quite a workout yesterday cleaning the apartment and doing 5 loads of laundry!  I certainly got my sweat on.

4.  I cut my left index finger yesterday with a knife...hazards of cooking all of my own meals.  Thankfully I didn't faint and fall into the oven as has happened before in my life.  Mom, you'll be happy to know that I had band-aids on site this time.  No paper towels and duct tape.

5.  I have been cutting back my meat consumption these days and went three days without any meat and I feel really good!  I haven't felt deprived or hungry.  Today for lunch I made the Healthy Chicken Nuggets and they were very good.  I am going to continue to have meat only 2-3 times a week.  I've enjoyed finding new non-meat options for lunch and dinner.  I'll update the meal plan page with some of the dinners I am going to try this coming week.

6.  I had a small nugget of success today when I took a look at myself in the mirror and only had positive thoughts.  I've been on this new journey for almost two months and it's nice to know my daily affirmations are making a difference in the way I talk to myself!

7.  Joe and I are going for an extended hike tomorrow at the North Cheyenne Canon near Colorado Springs.  We are very excited to get out there and see some new beautiful scenery!  I hope to have some awesome photos to share tomorrow.

8.  I had a delicious spinach/feta/pumpkin seed salad today with raspberry vinaigrette.  I suggest you have one yourself.

  4. Molly, I get them from all over. Websites like skinnytaste.com or basic google searches and from some of the cookbooks I have. If I find them online, I usually post them on here. I'll try to get some of the cookbook ones types up on here one day. :0)

    Mal, yes, that incident was a BC night.
