Tuesday and I am desperately hoping for NO RAIN!!! At least not up here on our little mountain. It can rain all it wants to in town just not here!!! Looks like its 29.4 degrees outside so we may be good for now at least. Of course its only 5 o'clock in the morning too!!
Yesterday was smooth sailing with juicing. Had my leftover baked potato from dinner Saturday night for dinner last night, Chili Verde Baked Potato ... it was as good last night as it was the night I ordered it!! Treated myself to a juice out while I did a little shopping yesterday at Winter Ridge ... had the Ridge Tonic which is beets, carrots, parsley, and lemon. I don't really like beets or at least I thought I didn't but in that juice it is great.
Scale a bit down today after being up a lb yesterday. That is always nice to see. I expected it was probably the almonds I ate that caused the up fluct ... was certainly nice not to get my underwear all in a bunch over it!!
Long day today. A fair amount of driving to see only 2 families, one is new to me so new relationships to build there, the other is just far away!!! Then I have an AimEarlyIdaho Board Meeting this evening.
Saw a strange movie last night ... Swimming with Sharks. Not for the faint of heart. Not sure I really "liked" it but it was well done. Anyone else see that? I'm curious as to what you thought if you did.
Leafed through my Cookbook "366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains" last night. Holy smokes there are so many recipes I want to try!! Will take me forever just to try them out as I only cook once or twice a week at most right now!!! Loved reading through the recipes though, marking the pages of interest, making a list of the recipes to refer to. And ... it didn't make me want to go eat more!! LOL!!!
Grateful today ... grateful for ...
* Moments I shared with my DH last night that I thought might never happen again (:
* Getting to watch a Cow (Moose) eat off a tree by the side of the road on my drive home last night. (tried to get a picture but the snow and the trees kept getting in the way!)
* A neighbor drove up our road, just an hour or so before me yesterday evening, cutting through trees that had fallen on the road ... YAY!!!!
* Watching a young clinician blossom.
* Being able to remember to stay "in the moment" yesterday and not let myself fret about the future or regret about the past.
Another day, another opportunity to shine!! Of course, continuing to practice kindness towards myself, being mindful of the moments, and patience ... patience. Have a great day my friends. Take care!!

So much to be grateful for indeed and also not getting your panties in a bunch - love it! Tender moments with hubby's are great and sometimes few and far between, life does get in the way. I must remember that and take more time outs. Fingers crossed for no rain then. See you tomorrow. Drive safe.

Yes it is on Netflix. It's rather dark. Just a warning.

Mmm... Thanks for the warning! I've been watching silly comedies lately (breakup mood lol!), but I used to love dark and thought provoking movies.

I really like your journal! All of them but todays is sweet. I miss you too. I love your chart too, you are progressing well! Do you credit the juicer? What else are you doing? I.heart.beets. Try baking it like a baked potato w/ a dallop of sour cream. Yum.

LOL ... it IS NOT a shark movie. Just the title ... swimming with sharks ... the "sharks" are actually human beings.

Cynthia, I do think the juicing is making a difference. I'm only in my second week so time wil tell. I feel goof and I am NOT counting calories AND losing lbs so that is nice. I've also cut way back on meat. Mostly eating vegetarian and low fat. It helps that DH is doing the same. I'm actually having fun with it which is a plus.
