God reminds me again that in the piles of worry is the neglect of gratitude. I began counting 1000 Gifts last year and neglected it. He reminded me it is time to start again. I pulled out the journal, and so I begin this post with gratitude:
391. pedicures with a good friend
392. the Spring Blooms at the Dallas Arboretum
393. a baby's laughter (I took pictures of my friend's baby and the flowers at the arboretum)
394. time spent with a good friend
395. pancakes at The Orginal Pancake House (I had craved pancakes for a month. They were the perfect dinner Saturday night).
396. began a bootcamp fitness class today (Hopefully I will still feel gratitude tomorrow).
397. committed to eating better more consistently the next 4 weeks
398. loose leaf tea and the electric tea kettle
399. new storage for our small house from Ikea
400. hot showers
As I work on balance and eating better, one of the things I make myself do is cook on Sunday. I cook usually 2-3 main course meals on Sunday with about 2 days worth out of each item. This gives us enough leftovers during the week that we eat at home but I do not have to cook on a school night. I tend to make a lot of the same items with no variety, so one of my goals is to try one new recipe each week. Last week I made a beef and vegetable soup in the crockpot. It was yummy! Even the hubby liked it (who by the way hates soup). This week I tried two new recipes from the Six Sister's.
1. Chicken and Black Bean Casserole
2. Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry
Now, I also want to get back to tracking more of what I am eating.
Today I just had a Nugo Dark Pretzel protein bar for breakfast. For lunch, I had some of the black bean and chicken casserole with a Navel orange. For dinner I had a southwest salad before going to bootcamp fitness.
