And, today went well. :)

Just my morning exercise again, though.  Took the children to the lake for a swim today, but watching 5 little non-swimmer girlies doesn't lend to much swim time for mom. I was IN the water with them, though, in my suit that I haven't worn in years and now fits better than it ever did before. :)

For lunch, I g-bomb'ed the taco lentils.  The children weren't overly impressed or thrilled with me. They still ate them, though.

I made up a gorgeous salad, but wasn't too happy about the taste. I'm pretty sure the cabbage was going bad, or I just don't care for that cabbage raw in my salad.

 

For dinner, the recipe I was going to use ended up being something I couldn't make. I don't have the right appliance and I forgot to soak the nuts overnight.  I through together some vegies, pasta, and let the children toss it with olive oil salad dressing. They were happy.

 

I made up a bed of romaine and spinach.  Then I water sautéed cauliflower, mushrooms, garlic, onion, black beans, and squash from the garden.  I was craving a buffalo sauce flavor for it but wanted to stay away from the hot sauce aka sodium.  I tossed in some cayenne pepper, ground mustard, and rice vinegar in hopes it would give me a similar flavor. Not quite.

 

It wasn't awful, though. I did add some salsa to the salad, as it needed a little sweetness.  Sprinkled it all with walnuts and chewed myself to the Very Full status.  It's after 9pm and I'm still feeling stuffed!

 

 

I need to keep working at getting my exercise in each day. I did purpose to stay on my feet most of the time we were schooling. At least that helps.

And, seeing the scale down another pound this morning was hugely motivating. :)
