Well we have begun some new food changes around here. We will see how long it last. So far I haven't lost any weight, but I feel better. I'm hopping that if I just focus on this new way of eating that the weight will start to come off. I have also tried to increase my daily steps to 20,000 at least three times a week. I'm hopping to increase my days in a month. We have started eating/drinking smoothies and whey protein shakes in place of snacks and some meals. I have also found healthy snacks for us, because we love our sweets. Which means I'm baking more. I don't really seem to mind as much as I have in the past, maybe its my age or the fact that I'm moving about the kitchen so I'm getting my steps in. So far everything I have baked has been tasty. I already have a grocery list of stuff to buy to continue my baking. Pinterest has been so much help. I had actually went looking for a healthy cook book , but didn't find one I liked. Then I thought about Pinterest and was blown away by what is out there. I did have a duh moment..
We went to a funeral on Monday in Ballinger. Ashlynn Verdin was the daughter of one of Jeff's co workers. It was done so brilliantly. She was a barrel racer and loved working with her horses, so the funeral was held at the community center/stock yard. They had a video playing on a big screen about all her races and awards, plus there was barrels set up and one of her friends walked Ashly's horse threw it with her cowboy hat and boots on the saddle. It was very hot, but so full of love. I never met her, but Jeff and Lynn(Ashlynns father) were pretty close co workers. Lynn would always share stories with Jeff about what his daughter was doing, so Jeff would share with me. We discovered that Jordan and her were in the same class together in first grade. Her casket was open and right as you walked in the door, so that got me to thinking about my own funeral. I DO NOT want an open casket.. I shared this with Jeff, but I feel the need to let everyone know. I have never been one that wants to draw attention to myself, so I diffently don't want it in death.. Okay enough of that.
Well I got some errands to run and then grocery shopping for our new found eating habbits. Hope everyone is well.
