Started off well. Really well. Then dinner on – it wasn’t a good sight.
Breakfast: 1/3 orange, OIAJ (pb, agave nectar, 1 tsp frozen banana, cinnamon chips, ground flax), unsweet rooibos tea from Bux.
Lunch: Half Sonny’s Lunch: 2 oz pulled chicken, 1 piece garlic bread, 1/2 sweet potato, 1 T baked beans on top, salad (spinach, tomatoes, red onion, cuks), grapes, melon
Snack: Ikea ff fro yo (so yummy since it was so hot)
Dinner: 1/2 falafel sandwich from Neomonde’s, celery, carrots, pita and hummus
Snack during movie: Whole Foods Ice cream bar, TR Kettle Corn.
I wasn’t going to write this out. This is what I wanted to write: When will I ever stop struggling with this? Will I have one day when it is not a struggle and I can live like this isn’t a SIN area for me – a place and area of transition? I can’t stop eating? I can’t not live life with other people? Lord…
Rom 6-8 is my only hope. Rom 6 and 7 because it tells me of the hopelessness (mainly) of this indwelling sin in my life. Rom 8 because I know the answer. God is my HOPE. Not how perfectly I live this out.

Well, today was not as good as some, but better than yesterday. Here we go:
Breakfast: oats, banana, agave nectar, flax. It was again – good and filling.
Snack: peanut butter caramel brownie Angie made. perfect for an after meeting treat!
Lunch: 1 mixed meat kabob (2 chicken, 2 beef chunks), tahani sauce, hummus, 1 whole wheat pita, 3 falafel. All very yummy!
Afternoon: 15 m&ms, 2 york peppermint patties, 15 york pieces later (ok, too much chocolate)
Dinner: cuban salad, 15 small sweet potato fries, 1 med piece of bread. Mango vinaigrette.
I was thinking the whole time that I was going to have a cuban sandwich, but I sat there and knew I would feel horrible after eating it. I knew I needed to make a better choice – so I did. And I felt great afterwards.
And I know I’ve gained weight and I feel horrible and think I look horrible in pictures – so it is back on it with a vengeance!
Did a whole segment 2 of Jillian tonight – it was tough and warm in the apt – but I did the whole thing and didn’t stop at the second section. Here we go.

Much better. Water and unsweet tea to drink. Going for a run now.

I have always heard much about
Siggi’s Yogurt on food blogs and I wanted to try it. It is a little ore expensive than regular yogurts, so I emailed the good people at Siggi’s and they listened and graciously sent me 8 coupons!
I used one of them to buy some regular plain yogurt to use in a recipe – as a dressing. It was thick and yogurt-y. The good thing about it is that it doesn’t contain many sugars. Even the vanilla and fruit kinds, don’t have many excess sugars in it.
So…I am passing the wealth on to you, my readers. I have 4 coupons and want to give the chance to try it, too. Two winners will get 2 coupons each!
So, in order to enter – tell me your favorite flavor or yogurt. I’ll pick 2 winners on Sunday night.

Most people know that I love soup. It was probably in the 90s today and I made soup. I had my first bowl of this over a small organic sweet potato (Sarah Frankel bday girl style, just for you babe)! It was very yummy. Quality of pictures is poor because my batteries were going dear – and I think this directly effects the quality of zoom, lighting timing, and macro shooting.
Here you go: (and it is part of whole food month)
1 cup lentils, rinsed
4 cups water
4 cups homemade chicken broth (I cooked a whole chicken and used this)
pinch of sea salt
1 onion, chopped
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
evoo
1 bunch of swiss chard, stems removed, chopped
large pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 lemon (juice)
pepper
3 cups chopped chicken (from a whole raw chicken)
Cook lentils in broth, water, and salt until done but not mushy.
Saute onion in evoo for about 5 minutes, then add garlic and red pepper flakes. Add chard and cook for about 3 minutes. Add to lentils and cook for about 10 minutes. Add chicken, lemon, and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
