Oh hell Ya! Look what greeted me when I walked into Trader Joe’s last night. I can’t even describe how it make me feel to see tulips in January! Soon the crocus will be popping out of the ground. 
I just love bulbs!! All of them! Maybe tulips and gladiolas would be my favorite.
I really need to start a food journal. I have heard a lot of people say this helps them stay accountable with their eats. For the most part I think I am doing well. I know I need to watch the nuts and nut butters though. Just because I love them and they are good for me does not mean the calories don’t count. At least for now, while I am trying to lose weight anyways.
I am starting to read a little bit about Body for Life. I have known than eating 5-6 meals is the way to go for a while now.I am working harder at it now. Today went like this:
-juice:beet and greens, 1/2 lime, kale, granny smith and celery
-2 tangerines and green grapes
-oats with oat bran with cinnamon, stevia and a few grape nuts
-leftover tuna, grains and raw spinach
-Fage 0% with Bear Naked protein granola and pumpkin pie spice.
-leftover stir fry
I tried a new workout tonight. One On One with Jackie. I liked it! I don’t think my heart beat gets up as high as it does with Jillian though. I really enjoyed the lower body part. I feel it already. I am curious how many calories I burn in a day and how different workouts that I do, effect the burn. I want to look into getting a calorie counter. Maybe a Garmin or a Body Bug. Anyone have any input on these or others?
Oh bummus!! I was going to make hummus tonight. Without paying attention, I opened a can of white beans instead of garbanzo beans. Well, I made it anyways. Hummus Bummus~
: can of white beans, garlic, tahini, and juice of one lemon (more lemon, the better). Because white beans are so soft, I didn’t need any olive oil. *Bonus
I almost think it was better than garbanzo bean hummus! It was even better with a mini pita chip cracker! I am stoked to say, I only had 2. I prepared this for lunch tomorrow, stir-fry was my last meal of the day.
Now, how can you pass up a winter squash when its name is Sweet Dumpling? …Not sure, cause I didn’t. It is too cute, right? I sliced it up and baked half with olive oil spray and a bit of sea salt and the other half with spray and a mixture of salt, stevia and cinnamon. The whole house smelled like a cinnamon roll! I remember when my Mom would make a pie and have leftover crust. She would roll out the dough and put butter, cinnamon and sugar on it, cut it into little pieces and bake. That is what it made the house smelled like. I swear, I think I would burn my mouth trying to eat those little things. I couldn’t wait another second! LOVE YOU MOM!
Sorry, not a fun photo. I am just waiting for it to cool. It is also for lunch tomorrow.
Happy Wednesday! Goodnight~
