What's Working!...and Not So Much
What's Working:
1. As the saying goes...'Make zucchini soup outta excessive zucchini's bought by accident' Here they are steamed and about to be whipped up w/garlic in the Vitamix along with some chicken broth. Can you say YUM?. It was delish...
2. Orrowheat Sandwhich Thins (aka hamburger buns). These things are pure genius. It's one of those 'How did someone not think of this sooner?' idea. You get a thin sliced version of a hamburger bun for ~100 calories. It's the perfect amount of bun for a burger w/out getting the bloaty feeling from a normal sized one.
3. Strength Training. No picture of this one, but it just feels sooo good to be back at it!
and NOT so much:
1. Toy/Project Overload. Now while my GFTW can sorta make me look like a tidy, organized, and efficient gal (he he he..;-), the reality is...I gotta lot of junk all over the place! And a big place is our back playroom. With the holidays and kids' birthdays looming in near future, I'm in state of fear for any new object comin' into the house. Therefore, I just decided Saturday is OPERATION Gut out the back play room. It's just gotten a bit ridiculous folks. Markers need to go w/ other markers, papers need to be thrown away (remember that kid's art binder I created a few weeks ago? Yah, neither do I...;) You get the point right?
2. Me Time: I need to carve out an hour for just me...w/no goal other than to just be. Maybe with a book, a cheesy magazine, a walk, or nothing. Think I can do it?
So... that's generally what's workin' and not so much for me over here. Now, I'd love to know What's Workin'/or Not so much for you? Talk to me, talk to me!

I LOVE those sandwich thins. I get a huge bag of them at Costco and freeze ones for future use!
Posting pictures of my MESS of a garage on my blog to motivate me to do 15 minutes a day... I'm doing it!
Not working:
Still must get to bed earlier.
It is so great to have this reminder to evaluate what's working and what's not! Thanks!
You know what to do...so do it!!
What's working here- hmm... 3 (or 4?) work outs in 4 days, cancelled all meetings and "to do" demands on my life this week, and am enjoying it fully.
Next goal- avoid all of the crap at the 8th grade team lunch on Friday..and maybe sneak a healthy option to bring (beyond the banana, chocolate pudding pie...)
hope you get some "me" time soon.
I totally want a vitamix!
Make time for yourself, you know we all need it, right?
This week hasn't been a great success for me, as I've been sick since Sunday night.
