I am so happy it's Spring!! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and I'm 98.547% unpacked!
The townhouse is looking fantastic! I had some fun baking over this week. I've made granola for the first time (turned out pretty decent...edible definitely) and I'm wanting to make bran muffins with fruit in them sometime soon.
I have tried to be good this week. I splurged a few times, but still have only used a small portion of my additional points per week allowance. I've tried new things and it's been exciting! I cooked quinoa for the first time last night. I've heard that it has a slightly bland but nutty taste (they were right), so I cooked it in water seasoned with Epicure's Chicken Bouillon seasoning. Fab!!! Marc wasn't too keen on it, but I loved it. I want to get some fresh tomatoes and avacado and balsamic vinegar and make a side salad with it.
I'm going for my weekly weigh-in in about an hour and a half. I am finding myself anxious before the meetings the last few weeks. I think I've been pressuring myself that losing is of upmost importance, when in reality, changing my mindset is.
I snuck one of my aunt's french fries at lunch today...and was quite surprised when I almost didn't like it! I haven't had many french fries this last month, and I'm discovering my taste for deep-fried has gone down dramatically. I will crave it, but once it's in my mouth I immediately feel gross. I'm thinking it's my body's way of saying "HOLD ON! what do you think you're trying to make me process??"
I feel bad because I only went to the gym once this week (cringe). I had intentions to go 3 other times, but when I would wake up in the morning, I would immediately mental slap myself because I had forgotten my sneakers at work. *insert daily repetition here*
This week coming, I want to exercise more. I reached my goal of trying new forms of fiber and am pretty proud of myself. Let's see if the scale pays off tonight.
At the very least, I know how to make a bran muffin that doesn't taste like a sweater...
