Yep, gotta take care of those footsies. :)

I had a nice dinner with kale and brussel spouts tonight. I'm been pretty exclusively vegetarian for several weeks now, even optioning for vegetarian options when I go out. Trying to stay away from dairy and eggs, but eating out vegan isn't easy at all, and I'm basically lazy. I manage to go to the gym today, so that's four times this week.

Unless I go to seven yoga classes between now and June 7th, my pass will expire. I've never let a pass expire, but like I said, I'm lazy. What a waste of money that will be.

But if you go, it won't?

I'm still doing pretty well, it's miraculous :) esp when I was FORCED to eat at a pizza place yesterday - I got the chicken caesar salad instead. It WAS pretty good I admit.. but my son REALLY enjoyed what HE had!! lol

Zoe, for some reason I just can't motivate myself to go to yoga class anymore. I'm committed to the gym, walking the dogs, etc. and sometimes I like to take a day off from everything and do nothing. I'm not sure I'm going to finish the series. I miss it though.............wishy washy.

I made some good bean burgers for dinners and froze about 4 of them. I'm baking some "fries" now.

Yeah, gotta agree with Zoe. I wonder if you over did it on the yoga thing and are just burned out. Maybe a short break or a different type of yoga workout would be better. Do they offer different levels, or forms of yoga? I'm sure you can tell that I don't know too much about yoga other than when I do it, my muscles relax and the stress is decreased a good bit.

Well, for the official update. The weight is going up. :no: I weighed in after work tonight--without shoes.

now is that stinky or what????

Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that I've made a few decisions :innerconfand am now comfortable with proceeding forward with life. :idea: And, of course I had to celebrate!!!

Did I mention that I made the "kids" chocolate cake and chocolate icing?:coollook:

And who do you think has helped eat that cake and icing? :sofahider

Needless to say, I am trying to be more careful about what I am eating and when.

On the other hand, my kids are feeling mommy love because I made a cake for them. They are having fun sharing part of the cake with friends who come to visit. Improvements are being seen in other areas of my life. I am much more clear and more purposeful. So, once again, God is making it all okay.

Life ain't easy, but with God it ain't impossible neither.

Black bean burgers. They were just "awright". I think I made them too thick, I made 4 burgers when the recipe said it made six....greedy....and they were a bit chewy. This recipe called for wheat gluten which might have given them a chewy texture.

My babies are well. They still love to get up and down, up and down through the night, which throws me off. The older dog who used to be quiet through the night is a bit restless too. Thanks for asking. :)

Ugh, animals. I throw and yell things ... er, yell and throw things, when they wake me up. They learn early on how to be my best friend. 1. Don't wake Mommy up. lol
