Brighter Day:)

Well, today has been a good day for me. Weather was a bit cooler and I got a lot accomplished around the house. I worked out a while. I have started doing the 5 Tibetan Rite exercises as seen on Dr Oz. I cannot do all of them (like the table), but maybe one day I will.  Here is the link to the video. I think you may find it very interesting. : http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/tibetan-rites-practice
Also there are articles about health of the monks that I really enjoyed reading. That link is : http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/tibetan-health-secrets.

I have been going to the club for a couple of months now and am seeing some differences already.  I have more energy which is the best to me. I am seeing inches gone and when I stand in front of the mirror, I see a big difference in my upper torso area.  I have had some areas on my upper thighs where there are bulges along the veins.  These raised areas are almost now non existent.
 I am being inspired to keep going, even though weight loss and smaller sizes are not what I had hoped for. I am trying to stay in my mind frame that this is about HEALTH first and foremost. I have to remember my goal in the beginning was only 4 pounds a month and I have exceeded that by close to double.

This morning I got up and drank a vegetable protein powder with banana. Then for lunch I made this wonderful bowl of salad. There was a bed of spring greens to which I added spinach, tomato, strawberry and topped it with olive oil and lemon juice with ginger. It was very satisfying and for dinner, I had a bowl of soup from last night.  

I am going to ramp up my exercise time at home also. I want to continue to feel good and healthy and build stamina. Tonight, I did not fix dinner for the family. I told them I had soup. I do plan on fixing my family spaghetti once per week and making a meatless meatloaf.

My best friend and I continue to keep each other encouraged on our path. We are each losing weight and inches differently and remain on different eating plans, but continue to share recipes. I am so grateful for her friendship and love her a lot.
Soon, I will add a couple of pictures here.
Happy eating and thanks for visiting.
