Long time no post

Well I know it's been a long time since I've been on here. With everything else going on in my life I felt it better to focus on one task at home instead of a million which is what it seemed like. I have recently found myself in a situation that is enabling a healthy life, which is good. But it also brings light to the fact that I haven't been keeping up nearly as much as I might pretend I have. I have been offered a challenge to either accept or deny. The challange is this: Prove that you are able to do what you say you can do and say you want to do! The other parts are not relevant to this blog at all ;)

Well I can say that I will be starting the Almased again this week. Most likely tomorrow since that's the first of the month - even if it is on a Tuesday! The other day I took the kids to the bookstore before heading to the Dr's. I was just trying to kill time. It was the most well behaved they've ever been there, which made it easier for me to go look around without worry. I found a book called Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld. I had heard of this book before but never placed it or felt a desire to go through it. She offers "simple secrets to get your kids eating good food". Once I start making the recipes in there I will post the recipe, a picture and the verdict from the kids. If you've started reading this blog from the beginning than you know that I do have one picky eater and one very good eater. Maybe Ms. Picky will help make the food (minus her not knowing what the purees are)!

Today I weighed in for the start of the new Kate. Not as bad as when I initially started this journey last year. I weighed in today at about 155-1/2. I remember starting before around 167 which was disheartening looking back on it.
Today for breakfast I had 1-1/4 c of Blueberry cereal - Great Grains. It came in at 260 total calories. For Lunch it was a whole wheat tortilla, with a french onion babybell cheese spread, spinach and chicken with a side of cantelope. I just finished some Turbo Jam, as much as I could get done with kids right in front of me and not listening! But I'm sure that in a little bit I will be able to do some more.

I know that getting back into this will prove challenging but I hope I can manage to stick with something great because I do remember how great it felt to be in a place I was happy with, especially after having two kids. Right now I'm going to go read some more in the Tosca Reno Book I also got the day of the bookstore! She is the woman who contribute and is founder of Clean Eating! And you all know how much I love Clean Eating! I'm looking to embarking on this journey with you all for a second time and I hope that this time I don't have another major event to stop me in my tracks! LOL.

P.S - If any of you are big fans of dressings, etc there is a completely calorie free dressing company called Walden Farms! And these are amazing. I've tried a few of them! ;) Enjoy
