My stomach has ceased the assault

Feeling better today. Perhaps some sort of fiber overload, as my system is not super accustomed to the whole vegetarian business yet. But I digress..
Finances are actually coming along a little better than I expected. Sure, I am trying to figure out the next few months, but it will come along. And school is finally DONE, which means I can actually focus on reading and catching up on all of the wonderful things I have missed over the past almost seven years. Like reading lots and lots, watching some good tv and movies, gardening, etc. The list goes on. On that note, I made a stack of books that I have neglected and will finish them within the week. Yay!
On to a somewhat healthy evening snack and perhaps a little straightening.

What the?

Seriously...I ate healthy food today and somehow I feel yicky. Like my tummy hurts a lot yicky! Hmmm...what did I eat yesterday? A couple healthy snacks, good breakfast, salad for dinner.....nothing too crazy at all! Is this some kind of weird detox prank? Ah well. I will take it if it means that I will eventually feel better and have less of these shenanigans. After the belly calms for a bit, I will probably hike to the kitchen and make a light snack to further the calming.

Almost there......stay on target

Final draft has been submitted....almost done. Just in time for the #PG 1Wk challenge. One week of excercise, super healthy eating and meditation. I am soo ready for this - and I have goals like crazy!
I'm gonna clean, and garden like there's no tomorrow. I want this place to be a true reflection of me, and not just a jumbled mess.
Now that one hurdle is almost complete, I have to focus on my dreams. Keep moving forward.

Live and learn

Ok fine. I deviated from my healthiness for a day of pizza, microwave popcorn and soda made with the mother of all bad stuff (you know what I mean). I paid for it with one of the worst bellyaches in quite some time, possibly in years. You get to a point where you feel so good from eating the good stuff that you feel invincible. I was at that point. What the heck, I said. Just a little won't hurt. Sure did. Ok healthy food gods. I get it. If I want pizza and popcorn I will make it for reals, and not the junk way. And soda is slowly on the way out - but I still love my old fashioned stuff.

War on Junk

Oh I was good this weekend. We went shopping and bought most all healthy foods. I also cleaned out part of the kitchen and rid ourselves of anything that could be constituted as junk. I tried out Earth Balance buttery spread and it was suprisingly yummy! (again, no guilt with butter..well less than regular anyways). We also tried these kale chip things.....OMG! Delicious! I want lots and lots of them. It's amazing how many cool healthy foods and snacks are out there! Still looking for more...but right now the kitchen and dinner calls!

Merrily on my way to nowhere in particular~

I am working on the serious business of budgeting, trying to whittle down the bills and finishing schoolwork so I can graduate on time. Great. But the wheels in my head have been cranking away -and I have like ten or more plans of things I would want to do. And it doesn't seem to all mesh together. Hmmm.... But I will be consulting with two trusted friends to see how to make it all work. Will there be some sacrifices? Most likely. Will I have to give up some things in the short term to make the long term goals happen? Yeah. But I am convinced it will all be worth it. My first goal is to go through my house and organize. Yes, just that. If I know where things are, and everything is readily available that I need -things will run a little more smooth. Pics to be posted whenever this is done. :) For this week -it's all cleaning and research. Let the fun begin!

As Chip said...."Oh H.R. Puffinstuff!"

Today was such a good Monday! It was beautiful out and work went well. I had a mega healthy lunch - and vegetarian too! It would have been vegan, but the only mayo I had was regular. Note to self - Vegenaise on shopping list. Then I went home, windows open, and cooked a super healthy dinner of cabbage, potatoes and peas. Vegetarian again - I love butter - I admit it. But I am making progress. Chip did too - realized that chicken nuggets do not healthy make him, and chucked them out. And then I wrote in the book I wish to eventually have published. No leaks yet, sorry....lol. I accomplished things tonight. Oh yeah, while dinner cooked away I did some dishes too. Let's see if this trend continues tomorrow. I am gonna try the whole walking to work thing again too. Sweet! Off to make a healthy lunch ready for the morning!
