Motivation

Here's a fun little motivational poster ;)

 

I love these. Most of them are very clever and meaningful.

 

My kids are all in bed and it's before 9pm....whoo hoo! I wanted them in bed by 8:30, and it was successful. It won't last. But it is sure nice to have a peaceful evening of quiet blogging ;) I'm going to start another book too. Life is good.

 

Today we said goodbye to summer carefree eating. My last treat was an almond poppy seed muffin. Oh my, it was heaven! Hanna had lemon poppy seed and the rest had bear claws. Emma informed me during her bath tonight that she wants to start eating healthier. Except she won't eat the lettuce with the curly edges. Haha...those little ones can be so cute.

 

My diet has been just plain awful. My attitude has been "I just don't care" for such a long time. I knew that when I was ready, I would start eating for health again. I am SO ready! Today I tried kale in my whey protein drink and I'm not going to do THAT again. It was so chunky. My blender doesn't break it up quite as good as spinach. Although I just found some baby kale at the store, which I've never seen before. It's much more smooth and tender, like spinach, but with that same great cabbage-like flavor. It makes a great salad. I mixed it with some fresh cress. It's not watercress but the taste is much the same. The leaves are much bigger. Anyway, it's spicy, like a radish. I need stuff like this to give my salads a kick or I get too bored. Seriously, people who can eat lettuce day after day amaze me. Blech! Boring! Variety is the spice of life!
