My weigh in yesterday was a success. I am down 7.8 and won the biggest loser for the second week in a row, yay! Today I behaved myself and went to the gym before and after work. I needed to clear my head of some seriously negative energy. I walked out feeling refreshed and smiling again.
My daily workouts save me, truly! I did not make a great food choice for lunch but I have to say I make a mean chicken enchilada! Just need to revise my old recipe to make it healthier. I love, love, love, to cook. I cook all the time, this has always been one of the things that led to my being fat. Would you trust a skinny cook? I used to tell people "I'm a really good cook, can't you tell by looking at my ass?" These days I can't really say that anymore lol.
I am teaching my daughter to cook, it is fun time with her. I love those moments!! We used to bake cookies regulary but now we make things like trek bars and we are working on a recipe for homemade granola bars that are lower in sugar and fat (hopefully) but will still taste amazing. It's all about the senses for me. It's important that food tastes great, smells yummy, and looks irrisistably good. I need help coming up with recipes of old favorite comfort foods or snack foods that I can change to be healthier.
I am working on putting together a bunch of recipes that have been modified to be better. My all time favorite weakness is brownies. I love chocolate, It is sweet, rich, melt in your mouth good and what other food is as sensual as chocolate. Nothing my friend! I have yet to find a really mouth watering brownie recipe that is healthy. If you know of any please post and I will follow you anywhere.
Taking a moment to check in.... to realize that even though bad days happen it's very important to find blissful moments. Today I have had several blissful moments that changed my attitude. Some really great conversations with a couple of friends that I love with all my heart. Laughing with my co-workers and when I came home I was greeted with a very loud and warm "We missed you today mommy" and lots of hugs from my children. AAAHHH, What a great life I have. I am spending the rest of evening snuggling with my kiddos and listening to the great things they have to tell me. Good night all,,,
