Thanks for the suggestion Carla, I like Fitness in February, especially since I tend to be more slug-like in the cold, dark months. Time to get moving on the new treadmill and see if I can’t walk off a few pounds.
I admit that I struggled a lot in January after the first couple of weeks. I’m pretty sure that this is stress/emotional eating issues rearing up once again. Work has been so busy and overwhelming for so long, and it chips away at my self-esteem when I don’t feel like I’m doing my job as well as I am used to doing. I made it through today without any starchy salty snacks from the cabinet. I’m going to concentrate on getting in all the recommended veggies from here on out. I’m not eating anywhere close to a pound each of raw and cooked, especially cooked, and filling in those gaps with blue corn chips and nuts and things like that.
y'all!

Love the Fitness in February! I'm so pleased - my body is finally craving exercise again (after a lot of hibernation) so I think I'm going to bring out my T25 videos again. It has been crazy nuts busy at our house and looks like it will be for most of the month so I'm going to use exercise as a stress management tool!
I am with you, Mihani, need to be more on the ball and more veggies. I have been making grains a central focus too often and nuts a main snack, and I need to go back to making veggies my main goal.
Hope everyone has a happy February ahead of them 0 -
PS Carla; ahh the new house and property sounds lovely! 10 acres + pool!! How great. How is the housing market where you are, do things move a little slowly? I'm not sure what to expect; the tricky thing is my husband's new job is about 1.5 hours from where he works now, so we kind of have to move quickly, at least to get temporary accomodations. So strange how quickly things happen! How long do you think your commute will be? Worth it to go home to peace and quiet and a dream home

I'll second that, Carla - the new property sounds amazing -- jealous!!!
Looking forward to Mexico. I have to admit, I'm having a hard time waking up and getting moving. I'm trying to burn the candle at both ends, and I've gotta get my sleeping into a healthy routine. Otherwise, I'm doing ok.
Just made some of my favorite juices last night. Looking forward to them today. Yum!
Have a great week, everyone!!0 -
Ugh...I just wrote a whole post and then clicked my mouse button and it all disappeared! I hate it when that happens!!!
I'm glad no one decided to lynch me after the Fitness in February suggestion
I just got a Microsoft 2 band that tracks my calories burned, workouts, sleeping habits, etc., so I am motivated to get in at least a few workouts a week. Anything at all will be an improvement!
Lia, the Seattle market is very fast, but where we are further North I'm not sure how long it will take. Ideally, we'd like to move in spring so that we have time to plant a garden. My commute takes about 1 minute, or however long it takes me to stumble down the stairs in the morning. I work from home My husband does half days in the office and half days from home, but if we moved to this place he'd probably work from home Monday and Friday and go in for full days at the office Tues - Thurs. It would take him 30 minutes each way. During peak times there isn't really a rush hour, just a solid stream of traffic. One an a half hours for a commute?! Yikes. How soon does he start? I hope you're able to find something soon. It is stressful but will be so worth it when you're closer to his job and hopefully you'll have the nice back yard you're looking for, too!
Karrie, I've never been to Mexico and I confess I'm feeling a little jealous while sitting here listening to the rain drum down outside. You've been doing such a fantastic job with your juicing! I hope you have a fab trip. (Do pina coladas or margaritas count as juicing while in Mexico? I sure hope so)
Mihani, give yourself credit for doing as well as you've done during a busy and stressful time. Think about what all of the other people at your office eat like and you should feel better! Not only that but you bought and ASSEMBLED a treadmill!!! Personally, I'm super impressed!
Sloth3toes, this link is for you:

Carla omg cute video! I would love to be able to move back to the country, but with working the way I do there's no way. Have fun with your band, I lost my fitbit and really miss it.
Lia, keeping my fingers crossed for you to quickly find a new house.
Karrie, countdown on to sunny beaches, woohoo!
Have had a good couple days. I feel a bit more in control. I had a hummus wrap for lunch and instead of blue corn chips I had baby carrots. Good swap there. I think I'll start posting my meals again, seems to help keep me focused.
B - oatmeal with blueberries and a few chopped walnuts
L - hummus wrap with loads of lettuce, baby carrots, grapes
D - big salad (spring mix, grape tomatoes, sunflower seeds, balsamic, fresh ground pepper, nooch), slice of rustic italian bread
S - almond milk yogurt
Still too many starchy carbs but it's better.0 -
I like getting ideas from what everyone else is eating, so I'll start posting my meals again too.
B - smoothie (1/2 banana, 2 oz baby spinach, 1.25 c. coconut milk, 1 cup blueberries, 1 tbsp walnuts, 1 tbsp flax)
L - mixed greens, 1/2 tomato, 1/2 container mushrooms and 1/2 onion sauteed in 1/2 tbsp tamari, 1/2 tbsp tahini
small amount of leftover smoky lentils
S - fuji apple
D - Burrito Bowl (black beans, spices, onion, tomato paste, cilantro, garlic over 1/2 cup brown basmati rice)
guacamole, salsa0 -
HI all,
Had a rough day on Monday but pretty much back on track yesterday. Funny, the other day I realized I have not had a headache in a long time and darned it I got a headache this am. Teaches me a lesson to go off program.
Poor hubby got in a car accident last night. Everyone is ok but his car had almost 200,000 miles on it. Not worth fixing the car. We will need to go car shopping this weekend. He really likes the Chevy Malibu hopefully, we will find a used Malibu somewhere that we like.
Eating wise I have been really on or really off. I have been doing more blending lately, I want to do more vegetable blending then with added fruits. I made a V5 juice yesterday but was just so so . If anyone has a good vegetable juice recipe please share.
Carla and Lia; good luck with the moves.
Karrie: have fun in Mexico. Sounds like a fun trip. I have 3 weeks till my next Florida trip.
Everyone, have a great day

So glad your husband and everyone else was okay, Terri! Good luck on the car search.
As for vegetable juice recipes, when my husband and I juice, we throw in all the veggies we'd normally never eat and it is a bitter and peppery nightmare that we plug our noses and drink down haha! Needless to say we don't do that too often! I found a few recipes in the ETL Cookbook, but I haven't tried them.
Immunity Power Juice (serves 2)
4 kale leaves
5 carrots
2 stalks bok choy
1 apple, cored and quartered
1 medium beet, peeled
squeeze of lemon
Run all ingredient through juicer.
High Cruiciferous Juice (Serves 2)
3 medium carrots
3 cauliflower florets
1 apple, cored and quartered
6-8 kale leaves
2/3 cup watercress with stems
2 cups broccoli with stems
Run all through juicer.
Detox Green Tea (serves 4)
1 bunch kale
2 cups romaine lettuce
1 cucumber
4 leaves bok choy
2 cups unsweetened green tea
2 cups frozen raspberries
2 cups frozen cherries or strawberries
Juice kale, lettuce, cucumber and bok choy. Mix the green tea with 2 cups of the green juice. Add to blender with berries and blend well.

Great thread! I love the idea of focusing on fitness!0

Perfect title for February! It has been that for me (not intentionally) because we got walloped with snow recently. I've been outside 3 days running, shoveling snow. It's great exercise and I can tell I'm much stronger, and can shovel longer. My FitBit has been registering over 10,000 steps, something I never do on an average day. My weight has not gone down so I still have 10 pounds to drop --just to get back to where I was before Oct-- but I'm not discouraged yet.
Exciting and stressful, buying a new home and selling an old one!
Car buying, well, not so fun (at least for me). But something new, that's fun.
I made the Lentil Chard Sweet Potato Curry from the FOK website [ LINK http://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/lentil-chard-sweet-potato-curry/ ] and it is even delicious the next day. A great comfort meal.
I'm making a green smoothie for dinner today. I decided there is no reason to just have a smoothie for breakfast. I may sleep better that way, since heavy dinners result in poor sleep for some reason.
I've been having trouble going to sleep at night and end up awake at 1 AM so sleep is in short supply lately. I used to do this on Sunday night, when I was still working, trying to postpone Monday morning. But I'm retired; I should be getting all the sleep I need with no trouble. Aaargh!0 -
Might not get the chance later, so I'm posting before I have dinner. Got in a fast paced 20 minute walk after a very embarrassing 'steps walked' count on my MS Band 2. I guess working from home has some definite disadvantages!
B - smoothie, same as yesterday only with half cherries, half blueberries and chia seeds instead of walnuts
L - salad - mixed greens, tomato, water tamari sauteed mushrooms and onions with 1/2 tbsp tahini,
creamy broccoli soup
snack - apple (after a month on plan these apples almost taste too sweet! a nice problem to have I guess)
D - same as yesterday, a burrito bowl w/ homemade guac, some Pace salsa and 1/2 cup of brown rice
looking forward to the weekend when I get to eat oatmeal! Sounds crazy but I love it. Trying to limit it to Fri-Sun to reduce grains. This week I'm not sure if I'm going to try pear anise oatmeal, chai oatmeal, or Earl Gray and rose water!0 -
The burrito bowl sounds really good Carla. I make something similar as a salad.
Terri, glad everyone is okay.
Hi Sabine!
Lisa, that recipe sounds really good. I love curry. So many new recipes being shared that I want to try, I gotta get cooking! You are so good to get out and shovel snow. It’s definitely a serious workout. Hope you get some sleep tonight.
Another long day at the office. But I did okay other than a quick dip into the snack cabinet for a few blue corn chips.
B – oatmeal with blueberries and coconut milk yogurt
L – hummus wrap with lots of lettuce, baby carrots, grape tomatoes, grapes
D – red lentil kale soup
S – 1/2 a serving blue corn chips

Hi guys! Sounds like a positive week all around.
Carla, I loveeeee burrito bowls! Also sorry, I forgot right away that you already had said you work from home. That's great, and hopefully 30 mins 3 days/week will be pretty bearable for your hubby!
I also love the meal posting, Mihani, great idea. Everyone always sounds like they have interesting meals.
Terri, how are your feeling these days? Any difference in pain?
Hi Sabine!
Lisa, great job on all the steps!! Shoveling is amazing exercise; my body always hurts in places I guess I don't use very often lol. Haven't had much snow this year though.. it's been a freak winter for us. I'll take it!
I have been super anxious this week about all the upcoming changes and moving etc. Still, I've made some good meals! I made this delicious Hearty Italian White Bean Basil Soup from Vegan 8 - really easy and definitely worth trying:
http://thevegan8.com/2015/01/05/hearty-white-bean-tomato-and-rice-soup-pottery-barn-feature/
Karrie - also never been to Mexico but seems like all my clients are heading there this year. I really want to go! Seems like a good mix of relaxation and things to do/see.
B - Banana; whole grain toast w/ pb
L - White bean soup - vegan 8
D - Going to make my first attempt at a tofu scramble!0 -
Lisa, I can't decide if I am jealous that you've got all that snow or not....we've only had maybe 1/4" of snow this year in total and none last year. Either way, it is a great workout. 10,000 steps is awesome! Are you shoveling in the evening? Maybe a later workout is keeping you up at night.
Lia, that soup recipes sounds good! I will have to try it. I just got my Penzy's spices delivered and I'm anxious to start using them.
There's a new house on the market that we're very excited to see. Good internet, 20 minutes from town, and great art studio and workshop. We're going to take a look with our realtor tomorrow afternoon.
I went for another 20 minute walk this morning to get my steps tally into a more reasonable range.
Breakfast - blueberry spinach smoothie
Lunch - salad w/ mushrooms and onions, 1 cup Amy's chili
Snack - apple
Dinner - Red Lentil Cauliflower curry (do you ever still make this one Mihani? It is a staple of ours)

So here's a question for February:
Hubby and I have birthdays close together near Valentine's Day, so we usually pick one day to celebrate all 3 events. We both like nice restaurants, a concert or other sedentary activity. And we do that anyway once or twice a month on average. But neither of us needs another fancy (fattening) restaurant meal! This year, I'm suggesting we do something active. A 2 or 3 hour hike or all-day bike ride sounds really nice to me. We did a nice hike last year, but hubby felt it wasn't quite "complete" without a rich meal at a restaurant. I think we need a paradigm shift on how to celebrate these events. Is this too weird?0 -
@ CarlaEnsink — Pear anise oatmeal… sounds intruiging.
I am going to try that Hearty Italian White Bean Basil Soup, too. I do a lot of crockpot versions of soups in the winter. Thanks for the link to that one.
@liapr — how did the tofu scramble come out?
And yes, I was shoveling snow in the evening one night but I don’t think that kept me up late. Honestly, I hate to say it, but I think the alcohol I drink at night keeps me up. I usually have at least one glass of wine most evenings (My food diary is open, you can see how much I drink LOL!) and I’ve been thinking that is something that may be a culprit. Then again, it could be I need to exercise MORE. I normally only get 2K to 3K steps in a day; that’s practically sitting still all day. I’m trying to raise that number, now that I can see how sedentary I really am. I’ve been enjoying the physical workout that shoveling snow gives. So I want to up my activity level, definitely. It feels pretty darn good to be active, so that tells me I need more activity. I’d rather blame that for my poor sleeping patterns lately than to give up my glass of wine LOL!0 -
HI all Snow day today!
Lia: when I eat well I have minimal pain and swelling. If I don't my hands burn, swell and hurt. You would think that would be enough not to go off program but apparently my food addicted brain has issues. Anyway, the scale is finally moving down again. I have been working on increasing the amount of greens I eat and that seems to be dong the trick. I would like to lose 18 lbs by April 15. MY next apt. with Dr. Benson.
Carla: your oatmeal sounds yummy I will have to try it sometime.
Mahini: hopefully you will take some time for yourself this weekend.
Karrie: getting close to your Mexico trip. Now, I am jealous, will not be going to Florida in Feb.
Lisa: what about going to a vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Your husband could eat heavier and you can eat lighter.
My trip to Florida has been cancelled but for good reason. My daughter has a job interview in New York City and she wants me to come along. So, it is off to NYC the end of Feb. Still, a tough job market out there. She has sent out 40+ applications and so far this is the only place that has gotten back to her. She is an impressive candidate so I cannot imagine what it is like for the average young person.
I have picked out a car. I am going to get the Ford Fusion. Off to buy the car later today.0 -
One more week! I'm itchin' to go...
I'm almost down 18 lbs. I want to lose at least 20 before I leave. So that's do-able. 2.6 more lbs in a week; I got this!! I haven't been very regimented about exercise yet this year. Really hit & miss. When I get back from the trip I will have to do better.
I'm glad nobody was hurt in the car accident!! Scary stuff.
I've gotta run, but I am reading everyone's posts - just don't have the time to reply to them all...0 -
Woohoo, Ford Fusion is a fun car! I test drove one about a year ago. Enjoy it Will you be flying to driving the new car to NYC? That sounds like a fun trip, Terri. Hopefully some good weather. Job market is very depressing..
Lisa, Great idea turning your celebration into an active one! I love that, and a hike is such a nice way to spend time together too. Maybe you can compromise on a meal somewhere? I second Terri's suggestion; maybe a gourmet veggie place or Italian place where they are sometimes more accommodating? I guess it depends whether you would enjoy the meal or dread it/feel sick. What about a healthy dinner and a fancy place for drinks (dessert for hubby) afterward instead?
Ooooh Carla, exciting! Let us know how the new house looks. We have suddenly decided to list our house.... next week! Before the long weekend. So now I have a busy weekend ahead lol. Wish me luck! I'm pretty excited.
Happy friday!!!
B - pineapple/banana smoothie with hemp hearts (I ran out of greens! I never thought I would ever write that...)
L - OSG smoky bbq chili
D - tbd, maybe a wrap.
Also, Lisa, the realtor came to pitch to us last night so we didn't get around to tofu scramble; saving it for a weekend brunch option instead!0 -
Lisa, I don't think it is weird to want to change that default behavior to have special food as a treat. It is very much ingrained in our culture but not necessary. That said, if your husband isn't as ready as you to replace it entirely, I think that Teri and Lia had good suggestions. A place where you can both get something suitable, or a dessert place after dinner where you can get a drink or tea or something. I hope you have a lovely time and get in some good activity too!
Terri, do you live near NYC? Do you go there often? Sounds like an exciting trip to me!
Great job Karrie, excited to hear about your trip once you return! Do you have a bathing suit that you love that you're going to wear?
Lia, funny how once the ball starts rolling with selling and buying a home it really picks up momentum quickly. I guess you guys have the added pressure of needing to be closer to your husbands job. Good luck getting everything done this weekend! At least you'll be getting in some good exercise! Funny...I was also surprised to have run out of greens this morning! I went to make my smoothie and had to have oatmeal instead.
So for lunch I made this White Bean 'Chili' that isn't at all like chili to me. It is spicy but the flavor is more like the insides of a chicken or turkey pot pie. It has rosemary in there and think that's part of why it reminds me of that. In any case, if we have guests over and do a bit of a sort of healthy/sort of splurge dinner, I was thinking I could get some puff pastry, fill it with that and then have a side salad.
Breakfast: Pear and Star Anise Oatmeal (I really like the way it turned out)
Lunch: White Bean Chili, salad with the usual suspects on top
Snack: might skip it, I'm so stuffed after lunch and we're going to look at the house soon
Dinner: Red Lentil Cauliflower Curry
I thought the star anise looked pretty on top, so I took a picture! (Does anyone know an easy way to make the image show up smaller here?)

Quick update on the house we went to look at...it was SO nice! My husband and I said to our realtor that we wanted to list our house immediately and put in an offer. Unfortunately, after being on the market for only 1 day, they already had 3 offers in on it!!!! (so no luck for us since our offer would have to be contingent on the sale of our house.) Big bummer but we figure that means it wasn't meant for us. It was at the very top of our price range, so I guess we're saving money at least!
We're both feeling good about the house with the pool, so we're gearing up to list on the 15th of Feb. Hopefully we get a quick sale and can get that one before it's gone, too!0 -
Whew! Busy couple days here. I am not going to the office today though. Taking the old gal to the vet at 9:00 then I brought work home to do here today. Tired of the office.
Lia the white bean soup sounds delicious. I will have to give that one a try. Did you make your tofu scramble? My first couple didn’t turn out too well, but now I can whip up a great one in no time. The spices are what make it.
Lisa, I like the idea of the compromise, an active day followed by a meal at a place where you can both find something.
Terri how exciting for your daughter! Hopefully you’ll have time for some sight-seeing and fun while there. Did you pick up your new car?
Karrie you’re really rocking the juice this time around. Doing great!
Carla, I do make the red lentil cauliflower curry pretty regularly. It’s so good. The oatmeal looks very pretty! I’ve never used star anise. Too bad about the house, but the one you had looked at before sounds nice too.
Yesterday’s menu:
B – oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts
L – luna bar and a non-dairy yogurt (it was a busy day and I never took time to really eat something)
D – totally not ETL – veggie “chicken” tenders, mashed potatoes, peas
0 -
Hope y'all are having a good weekend. I had a weird night, got up in the middle of the night for several hours, didn't get back to sleep until 5 a.m. so of course I slept until almost 10. I have a very high priority file to work on that I brought home so I'm just going to work from home today and I have laundry going.
Today's menu:
Skipped breakfast since I slept so late.
L - BBQ tofu with "cheesy" rice and broccoli (used this recipe for the "cheese" sauce... SO not ETL ohsheglows.com/2011/08/18/quick-dirty-5-ingredient-vegan-cheeze-sauce-recipe-challenge/ ... mixed the rice and broccoli with the sauce then baked in a casserole dish until bubbly then broiled for a few minutes to set the top a bit)
D - will be salad and some fruit to make up for the indulgent lunch
I have really been craving comfort food lately. I'm letting myself indulge a couple days a week but trying to keep it reasonably healthy.0 -
Carla, that video reminds me of my childhood. My mom used to hang me up to dry too. But, I prefer chocolate over flowers.

Thanks, all, for good suggestions. It will be, like many things in a marriage, a compromise we can both live with! He's a pretty good sport, most of the time, so I will appeal to his adventurous spirit.
We have such a good time when we go hiking; we just don't get ourselves out often enough. It's like we get overcome with laziness, even on a beautiful day like today.
Yesterday we got back from a overnight stay in downtown Denver, where we walked around the downtown and had dinner before seeing a concert, walking back to the hotel afterwards. I ate lightly, and he ate heavy. The next day we had a tea with one daughter, which was good teas accompanied by little sweets, meats and treats. Hubby helped eat my share of all that. It was the first sugar I'd had in ages, and I noticed I had a bit of the sugar shakes later but was able to eat a good large salad when I got home. I didn't gain anything so that's a plus.0 -
Sounds like everyone is doing really well right now - it's nice to see.
We leave for Mexico THIS FRIDAY! Woot!! By 6pm on Friday, we'll be parked by the pool on our first night's stay. Can't wait! I'm thinking that by then, my weight loss will be at about 20 lbs for the year - not too shabby!!
When we get back, I'm going to attack my workouts. Going to make bedtime a priority so I can wake up early and get my workouts done with the sunrise.
But not next week. Next week is all about fun in the sun....
(oh, btw - I have a nice bathing suit, but it's not one that I love. It's still too big to qualify for that...
) 0 -
Happy Monday! How did everyone's weekend end up going? Lia, did you get a bunch of house stuff done in preparation to sell your place?
Sloth, too funny I'm with you on the chocolate over flowers! Great quote, thanks for posting.
Mihani, is it your dog that went to the vet? How is he doing? Did you manage to get your work done?
Your overnight trip in Denver sounds so nice, Lisa! How far away are you from the city? My husband and I have stayed in Seattle a few times over the years and we are only 2 hours away. It is nice to not have to face the drive after a full day and having some extra time the next day.
Karrie, I'm glad you have a suit you like! When we go somewhere tropical that is always the most difficult part for me - finding something I can swim in and walk around in that I feel good okay about.
I lost 3.3 lbs over the last week. That was a nice surprise! This weekend, my husband and I did some yard work and picked up some nice large pots for our yard. We had borrowed planters from my father-in-law when we listed our place in the fall, but he moved to his new place in the meantime and needed them back. It turns out that pots are expensive! At least we can take them with us when we move.
I didn't post my meals on Saturday or Sunday, but they were almost the same as what I'll be having today. Saves time!
Breakfast - oatmeal with nuts, berries, half a banana
Lunch - salad w/ mushrooms and onions, 'creamy' broccoli soup (the last of it YAY!!!!!)
snack - apple or pear
Dinner - red lentil cauliflower curry0 -
Woohoo successful weight losses going on here!! Awesome Carla and Karrie, you guys are on fire! Great job
Karrie, you'll have to post a nice pic of the sun and beach so we can drool and feel the warmth through the computer screens
Carla, so sorry to hear about the house!!! I do feel like it must not have been meant to be, or that a better one is coming along. Do you have a crazy schedule lined up for this weekend then? Funny we are both doing this at the same time lol.
OMG we did so much this weekend!! I can't believe how much work it ended up being lol. We boxed up so much clutter and stuff. I also became a master at hiding things, like coffee makers and toasters, so our countertops are clean and clear. It looks really lovely, but I also feel like it will be hard to live in (prospective buyers aren't allowed to see evidence that you brush your teeth!). We are posting it today or tomorrow; unfortunately this weekend is supposed to suddenly be brutally cold. And it's a long weekend. So I'm worried we will have three days in a row of dead open houses... cross your fingers.
Lisa, glad to hear you guys had such a nice stay/visit/dinner together! It sounds like good activities and good company too. Amazing that you are so sensitive to sugar now; I can't even imagine, but I know I better get better on my sugar sooner rather than later. Great job sticking to it!
Mihani, how was the rest of your weekend? Glad you got a sleep in; you must have needed it. Did you finish the file off? I did make the tofu scramble! Surprise surprise, it was an OSG recipe. I used: firm tofu, potatoes, red and yellow peppers, sweet onion and green onion, garlic, nutritional yeast, fresh basil and parsley. What other spices do you often use? It was really yummy!
Sloth, love that quotation. It's so true and so much harder to practise though...0 -
Oh, my, did I eat too much during the Super Bowl game? Yes. And I'm not even a football fan. I was just keeping hubby busy (and knitting). I made a large batch of vegetarian chili, guacamole and baked potatoes. Then proceeded to eat instead of knit. It was not a pleasant night trying to sleep with a too-full stomach. Ugh. Today was much better, food-wise. My bowling game was terrible today, probably because I was sluggish from too much food last night. Oy!0
-
Lisa, sounds like you’ve had an all around fun weekend, and after a good day today you’ll probably be feeling back to normal tomorrow. The tea sounds like fun. I always wanted to go to one of those real teahouse type places.
Karrie, just a few more days to vacation woohoo! And down 20 pounds … woohoo!
Sloth, I like that quote.
Carla, my oldest dog is a 13 or 14 year old shepherd mix. She’s developing some typical problems of large breed dogs like arthritis and degenerative myelopathy. Her kidneys are also starting to fail but I’ve got her on prescription food that is easy on the kidneys and so far she seems to be holding steady there. It’s so sad though. She falls sometimes. She’s such a sweetheart of a dog. As long as she’s happy and not in pain I’m happy. Great job on another big loss for the week!
Lia, hope the weather doesn’t turn too bad for your open house. Just reading about all the stuff you did wore me out! This is my favorite tofu scramble… minimalistbaker.com/southwest-tofu-scramble/ because I like spicy.
Today:
B – oatmeal with berries and walnuts
L – Amy’s bean burrito, soy yogurt
D – red lentil kale soup, big salad
