Minty Keen Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 -My laid-back manager. I missed the bus for work today and he was all "Well whatever, it happens. See you later!" -My own willpower. I didn't bring enough food with me to work today. For the last hour on the job I felt like fainting. It's been a long time since I felt that shitty, but I persevered, all the way through closing, and a 50 minute bus ride, and 30 minutes of cooking after being on my feet all day. I didn't cave and buy evil from the food court, either! -My new cookbook; when I finally got home I made Pad Thai from 'scratch' in just 30 minutes... I highly recommend "Well Fed: Paleo recipes for people who love to eat" by Melissa Joulwan... that is, if you are interested in paleo, AND saving time. AND eating food that TASTES LIKE EPIC.

Jamin Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Three things I'm thankful for today would be how awesome synchronicity can be, having found such a sweet support network, and my continuing motivation to push myself farther. Quote Link to comment
katkiv Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 -Go glad I kept within my calorie count today. I even incorporated a bit of a treat. -My pumpkin spice latte brought me much happiness-I am always thankful for time I get to spend with my little girl.

Minty Keen Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 My three for today... 1. Salt. I accidentally bought low-sodium pickles. So now I just be sprinkling extra on! I don't have much salt on my paleo diet by default so I take it where I can get it (mostly in sardines, pickles and bacon). 2. Well Fed by Melissa Joulwan. It's a paleo cookbook that has revolutionized my kitchen experience... I save a lot of time, and have a lot more fun thanks to her and her ingenious 'hot plates' and 'weekly cook-ups'. I also know exactly how much fresh meat and produce to buy to sustain me for exactly a week for a good protein/carb/fat ratio. It's really neat. 3. The shipment at work... because I forgot my cell phone. Normally I'd go insane without it at work for lack of things to do... but today there was lots to do! So I did those things... and didn't miss my celly too badly.

Minty Keen Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 1. Gluten-Free chip stand down the street. Sure it's outside the bounds of primal food, but once a month, when I really put off grocery shopping... until I literally have no food left to eat... it's a life saver. It's conveniently located on the way to the grocery store. Sweet. I stop there to eat some fries with gluten free gravy, gather my strength for the long haul to the grocery store and back. 2. My kitty is sleeping on my lap today. All day. She's been keeping me snuggled. 3. Naps. I carb crashed after the cheat meal mentioned above. But it's all good when I have sleep on my side!

Meant2Move Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Wow, good for you Bekah, on "learning to be open and vulnerable..." That is so tough, I need to learn that/improve about a thousand times on that. For me today -1. Wore a dress I haven't worn in ages, it fit beautifully, looked great, and disguised very nicely the fact that as my body fat % is down, I have almost nothing left up front.2. So grateful that my normal commute at home involves no freeways 3. Loved hearing from my stepbrother... I don't love Facebook, but if it keeps me in touch with family that I wouldn't communicate with otherwise, it is worth the occasional visit. An NPR story triggered a memory, I sent him a note about it, and he responded. It is a start! Quote M2M- Do something everyday! First challenge: Avoiding the Demons of Autumn Link to comment
