What’s on My Plate Wednesday

Happy hump day, my friends!

To me, it’s pretty much Friday, close enough anyway πŸ™‚

It’s been a very hectic week so far (just like the one before) – lots of running around, exercising, PT sessions, etc. etc..

With all this I am honestly struggling with fitting simple things like getting gas and grocery shopping into my schedule….and fail a lot of times πŸ™‚

You will see the signs of my busy schedule in today’s post – “What’s on My Plate Wednesday” is featuring not as many eats as usual – not because I am a lazy photographer, but because a lot of times I am eating “on the go” – still eating good stuff, though. No fast food for this body πŸ™‚

Ok, here we go – eating highlights from the past week.Continue Reading

I hope you didn’t miss me too much and I will try not to take such long breaks from blogging any more πŸ™‚

Tabouli Salad Recipe – Quick and Healthy Summer Meal

Happy hump day, my friends!

Our family is having a pretty busy week here – I don’t know why but it feels like we’re always in a hurry and need to “make it” somewhere this week. Work-home-dinner-pool-somewhere else.

It is extremely important for me at hectic times like that to actually make an effort, stop and make good food rather than grab something on-the-go. I find it especially hard in the mornings. To begin with, I am not a morning person at all. It takes me a while to wake up and get “functional”. I like my mornings slow. I don’t like rushing and hassling. That’s why I get up earlier that I need to – so I can take a loooong “wake up shower”, get dressed, make breakfast, eat breakfast, sit outside for a bit with my coffee cup in my hands…and then go out there to face the day.Continue Reading

Down-sizing, Buffalo Chicken Wreath Recipe and Injury Healing

Hello, friends!

First things first – my injury seems to be healing well – a lot less swollen and doesn’t hurt to walk nearly as much. Fingers crossed, I will be able to go to Gretchen’s spinning class this Saturday.

Second things second – Mrs. Lena went down another size in clothes! God bless yoga for this – I am now size 8! Got off the double digits πŸ˜‰

Thought I’d share some “before” photos with you today. Even though I haven’t reached my goal weight yet, it is very encouraging to see the progress.Continue Reading
