Warrior Wednesday

I am a Warrior not a Worrier

So many things going on in life that keep my mind spinning.  Worries.... Today I needed a good reminder... I am a Warrior, not a Worrier.  I will admit.  Sometimes I get so frustrated with how my goals are going or with injustices I see in the world around me.  Sometimes I worry for my… Continue reading I am a Warrior not a Worrier

Menu Monday

I am enjoying all the fresh fruits and veggies that are available.  Cherries are some of my favorites!  On Monday I enjoyed cherries and a veggie burrito.  Then, I enjoyed a great salad with a Mexican twist. On Tuesday I ate the leftovers of the marinara sauce full of shredded zucchini from my garden and… Continue reading

Struggling to Keep the Plants Healthy Plant Food

Snap!  It is hard to keep up good eating habits when I am NEVER home!  As a result I end up grabbing things I know are not the most helpful.  But I do what I can and sadly, feel frustrated that I don't have time for better choices. Monday I ate a lasagna I made… Continue reading Struggling to Keep the Plants Healthy Plant Food

Veggie Life on the Run

It's been a good week of eating a plant based diet. The thing is, the garden, the farmer's market and the farmer's co-op makes it so easy! The only real complication is time... time to prepare and time to chew. It seriously takes more time to chew fresh, raw plants, then it does to chew… Continue reading Veggie Life on the Run

Having Willpower

Something I have heard nearly all my life is that fat people don't have the willpower to loose weight.  Fat people would be skinny people if they exercised willpower.  Well... you are are wrong.  I have a great amount of willpower.  I work hard.  I will myself through days that most people couldn't even begin… Continue reading Having Willpower

Back to Picture Journaling My Food.

I am so excited my husband was able to fix the camera on my iPhone.  Now I can take pictures of my food and truly report what it is I am consuming.  I haven't gotten on a scale, but the most exciting thing happened today.  I put on some shorts I haven't worn for a… Continue reading Back to Picture Journaling My Food.

Lovin’ the Farmer’s Market

Okay... still no camera.  I can't record my meals.  However, I am still doing well enough.  Still eating salads.  Still eating fruits.  My favorites are the strawberries and raspberries from my own garden.  I've done better with reducing pastas and breads this week.  Dairy is still reasonable.  I only had a light Greek yogurt here… Continue reading Lovin’ the Farmer’s Market

This is Not a Diet

Sadly, there is still no camera to record my eating and to keep me in check.  On the up side, I have succeeded in continuing to eat a plant based diet.  I did have one exception this past week when I went to dinner with my good friend.  I ate Eggplant Parmesan.  It was the… Continue reading This is Not a Diet

My End of Dieting

So... my fall last week broke the camera on my phone. I am now left with nothing to visually record my success and meals, at least for further notice. I can say that I have been good about eating salads for lunch and something veggie like for dinner. It was a busy week, so I… Continue reading My End of Dieting

More of the Same

I've been doing well with my walking... except yesterday when I was walking home from church and bit the dust for real.  Anyway, I've succeeded in a 45 minute walk 6 days last week and I must be speeding up my waddle because my fitbit says I now walk 1.86 miles in those 45 minutes. … Continue reading More of the Same
