A fitness journey #2

so the first wave is over. I've gotten into the habit of twice a week visits by which my muscles, my will and my patience will be tested. The first week I used forgotten muscles. Now it's just building on them.  My will to continue was tested and sometimes it felt like if I weren't paying for this assistance, I wouldn't want to do it.  My patience is sorely tested. I want all choices to be good. I want results now.

We have moved into the deeper level of using your brain. The struggle is real! Case in point, I've rid myself of nine pounds. But instead of celebrating that slow and steady loss, I remember the caramel corn debacle and how it set me back. I remember the pizza binge and the days I deliberately didn't exercise and I think nine? Should have been more, could have been 12 or 15.  I have to deliberately tell myself to stop and take in the milestones.

But each day is about choices and eating out isn't as much fun....so... I've been cooking more and working with blueman on his nutritional needs.

Chili beans, ground meat and hash brown topper.

My new favorite...tortilla,  hummus and greens, in this case lettuce and spinach.

Throw in leftover meat or cheese..or not and yummy! 

Marinated chicken and sweet potatoes.

Good to the last lick!

Here's hoping you cook up something good today!
