Yum!

Week one, done. Still feel a bit sluggish at times, but I have no doubt that it's due to the fact that I still love my soda....sigh. Trying to convert to more diluted juice and get rid of the refined sugar. On the bright side, I have discovered the wonders of healthy snacking to keep me going. Give me some "Mountain Rise" granola, celery and peanut butter, or "Mary's Gone Crackers" any day. No need for junk anymore. Ok, well maybe some organic chocolate here and there. In my quest for going all vegetarian, I have only had fish twice since the new year. Once was going out to eat, and the other was leftover. I even noticed the difference! Crazy! But I digress. The health quest continues!

New Year - No resolutions, only improvements!

So far this weekend I have managed to do the following:
Stick to my commitment to go vegetarian/vegan
Shop well at the store - no junk!
Get crafting! (See Ok Millie)
Clean and straighten a little (finished the library project! Finally!)
Prep for the week of work.
Tons of goals for this new year - and I have hit the ground running!
Still have to wean myself off the soda, but heck, I am down to one can a day!
Well, on to the next goal - getting to bed at a reasonable hour.
Nite!

Easy changing!

I have gone two days without pepsi. I still crave it - especially when I watch NCIS. (Caff-Pow!)
But other changes are coming along nicely. I actually look at ingredients to make sure what I am buying doesn't contain HFCS or any animal ingredients (sigh, so long Stove Top - has both!)
But I always find tons of new items that make the vegetarian transition easier! Sunsational sunflower seed milk is awesome - as is the Silk Nog!
Am I going vegan? Not yet, but when I find things that help replace animal stuff and make life a little easier on the cows, well that makes me happy. Even though I only eat/drink organic dairy when I have it, every little bit counts.
I think thats about it - off for the night - and to my homemade apple crisp!

It's a blah day-but I can put some pixie dust in

Yeah, it's one of those days. I just feel like I'm in a rut. Perhaps if I just do a bunch of creative stuff tonight it will get better. I want to get a couple craft projects going to upload to etsy tomorrow. I also want to get some writing and research done. Three hours til I get home. Then let the fun begin!

Motivation

All today at work I have been so motivated! Well not for work here, more crafting at home, but I digress. I can only hope I can keep this wave of motivation going through dinner and get a bunch of stuff done this evening! Keep moving forward!!! :)

It's a brand new day

Wow!!!! I crafted and I shall continue today. Started an excel spreadsheet to track expenses and income. I believe most everything is getting going. In the words of Winston Zedemore "we have the tools, we have the talent". Oh yeah about that meat eating business - I have since stopped and realized its just not good. It was a momentary weakness and I now remember the many reasons I stopped. Moving forward!

Oh the fun

So I went backwards a bit - and had a little bit of chicken in my sandwich. And yes, today I had a ton of vegetarian remorse for that.
But tonight I will be moving forward in two ways - vegetarian panini - homemade, and getting some things ready to craft tomorrow! Etsy here I come!
I also plan to get some more clutter clearing done tonight and tomorrow- love this kick of cleaning - some days it isn't as strong - but I keep plugging nonetheless! Yay!
