Today's Good Things:
Under on calories for the day
Morning yard work and after lunch workout on the wii (lunges!!)
Tired and ready for sleep and it's not 10pm yet.

Today's Not So Good Things:
No evening exercise - shopping for this weekend's party
scale was up today - though I'm not fussing about it

Today was good.  I enjoyed my apple, peanut butter, flax seed, and raw oats for breakfast. Love that Breakfast Bowl!  Simmered up some delicious Indian Spiced Lentils for lunch and whipped up a smoothie for dinner.  I did not want to be eating food while out on our date tonight.

I'm still thinking a lot about how to get in more greens.  I'm not eating them at breakfast and I wasn't confident enough in my blender to add them to my smoothie tonight. I need to get more brave on that.

For lunch, I added kale to the lentils and then we filled romaine lettuce leaves with the lentils and ate them like burritos. That was good!

I was TIRED after lunch, though. I still got in my workout, but I had to push myself. Where did my energy go?

Hey! My wonder, amazing, hard working husband is down 10 pounds!!! That's incredible! He's been working outside in the awful heat all week and juicing the whole time.  He's tired, but has such a great attitude and keeps working hard at this.  Love that man!

I just added my recipe for Indian Spiced Lentils to my Recipes page here on the blog.  I revamped the original recipe to exclude the chicken and chicken broth. I switched that out for mushrooms and added kale. So good!  The mushrooms give the texture of the chicken with way more of the nutrition our bodies need. :)
