A Positive Mind

I’ve filled my mind with positive thoughts over these last several days. I am an optimist. In time, all will be back to normal.

I spent yesterday in bed, again. I watched another favorite movie, Scent of a Woman. I love that movie. I napped off and on all day.

In between naps, I checked my email, and I discovered an exciting one!

In the past year, I’ve been listed on a couple of websites as a Top Weight Loss Blogger. When I look at the other blogs that are on the list, I have no idea how my little blogging corner of the world is discovered by these people, but I must admit, it makes me feel good to be included on these list, and I greatly appreciate the exposure.

I really don’t know the logistics of how blog traffic works or how people actually find my blog, but I made it onto another list!

Happy Day!

Kristina at Fittous put me on her list of Top 50 Weight Loss Blogs You Should Be Following in 2017. Thanks Kristina! I am very familiar with a few of the other blogs on this list, and I am looking forward to checking out the rest of them today!

Some good news was just what I needed it and encouraged my positive mind to continue down it’s positive path.

Mike picked up Tess from the airport yesterday. I’ve done a pretty good job of just staying in my bedroom so I don’t spew my germs all over the house. Tess went to Walmart and bought disinfectant wipes, more Lysol and a mask for me to wear. I’m cooperating, but this mask smells like I have my face in a bowl of Lysol.

I really miss being in the kitchen and cooking up some dinner. When Mike is in his office, I sneak in the kitchen and make something quick, then spray Lysol everywhere and go back to my room. 

Here are yesterdays eats…

Breakfast – 5 SP

Two days in a row of Breakfast Bowl of Oatmeal.

1/2 Serving of Oatmeal bulked up with Banana Slices, 1/2 tsp Chia Seeds, 1 T. Almond Butter and Wild Blueberries. I buy frozen unsweetened Wild Blueberries. I like to heat these up and pour them over my oatmeal. The juice is so sweet, and with the Banana slices, no additional sweetener is needed. So good!

 

Lunch – 7 SP

Almond Butter and Cold Fruit were about the only things that sounded good yesterday.

I follow a few people on Instagram that eat Almond Butter on Sweet Potatoes. I tried it one time, and I just didn’t get it. For some reason, I decided to try it again.

This tasted so good to me yesterday afternoon. 

Half of a baked sweet potato (150g), sprinkled with Cinnamon, Sea Salt and 2 tsp of Trader Joe’s Almond Butter. Fruit with Cinnamon.

Snack – 4 SP

Un-Pictured Medjool Date, no almond butter

Dinner – 12 SP

Same dinner as the night before, but the dinner portion, not the lunch portion that I had the other night. It ended up being too much food, and I didn’t eat it all, but it did taste good.

Chicken Hawaiian Skewers with Pineapple, Zucchini, Bell Peppers and Red Onions, Steamed Broccoli, Potatoes
