The beauty of another day



Leave the abyss behind. I'm thinking you didn't make it tues. or it's the same.Remember to get right back on track. Having 3 parties in 10 days and working can make anything daunting. Now it's time for walk and work. And, today is a new day! Go scrub!! And, breath in the scent.
I like my new asics alot Ming. Just haven't gotten myself on tract yet but will do. Going to walk extra in the restaurant tonight. And, I still need to do my pushups or wall ups.
I finally  made my family meatballs. Robert has been asking. I don't think I've made any since
August or even before when we started this. Brownies too - but I'm not indulging.
Col I hope you got some sleep.
Have a great day all!  Happy Birthday Midgie!

IN A BLACK HOLE

Too much on my plate.  I'm in the abyss at work.  Didn't get home til after 8 last night & tonight.   Everything is out of balance.  Just a couple of more weeks.  I'm hoping next Tuesday is Kimsday.

DAY AFTER KIMSDAY 
Uh, what's up, Kimmy-em?

SOUP'S ON!  Found my favorite soup packages today...got veggi-bean & bean.  YUM!
PASSING IT ON
Baby kale is available in stores now: I just bought my first bag...Green tea with mango: I highly recommend...Dr Oz eats oatmeal regularly, and only the steel cut variety because the oats are less processed and retain all their B vitamins, he says; my problem with steel cut oatmeal is its need to be slow-cooked, something I know I won't do; I've noticed, however, that Trader Joe's has a "quick" steel cut oatmeal that looks worth checking out...G'day, everybody...

COMMENT TO KIM RE BROWN SEAWEED
You take it in capsule form, Silly. The horrible stuff need never awaken a single taste bud or gag reflex at the sight of the stuff.


CHECKING IN

1. Push-ups. I'm hovering, literally, at 12-13 modified push-ups a day. Once I started working more on my form -- more specifically, once I brought my elbows in close to my waist -- the number of push-ups stopped increasing from day to day. That's okay by me. I want the full benefits that proper form can bring. Aligning my arms parallel to my body is killer for the triceps.

2. Green drinks. I like them. I not only like them, I look forward to them. It takes no more than 5 minutes for me to prepare the vegetables, spin them in the NutriBullet for a minute, and then rinse/wash the juice cup and blade. Honestly, because I've never really liked vegetables much, let alone drink them as a green liquid, I am truly surprised by reaction. There wasn't even a period of adjustment, of having to get used to this brand-new-to-me concoction. It's almost like I'd been waiting for green drinks for a long time and didn't know it.

3. "Green Stuff."  Gary Null, a high-profile nutritionist, has developed a powder called "Green Stuff," which is supposed to be super-packed with the micronutrients of green vegetables. (He's also got a powder called "Red Stuff," which is primarily from antioxidant fruits, especially berries.) Null sells these online at a high cost. Trader Joe's is now selling, under its own label, "Super Green Drink Powder" (also a "Super Red Drink Powder"), that costs way less than Gary Null's product.

I plan on trying this.
