WEIGH IN DAY


Today is Friday, and my weigh in day. My first week of ww, (which is the new name of weight watchers) is in the books. I tracked everything on the app, I stayed within my points range. Each day I ate healthy vegan food but I was not obsessive, practicing portion control. It was a successful beginning to my new weight loss/ fitness and wellness journey. I went from 192.4 to 188.8. It’s so wonderful to see the scale move.

I’m off to have my vegan zucchini bread and coffee and begin my day. It’s amazing how this program makes me feel. Happy Friday to all.
Love and light, Rose

 

TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR CHANGE

It’s Sunday and I just started weight watchers Friday. I’m feeling a bit reflective.

It usually takes me a thousand tries before it sticks. I get sidetracked, I’m all over the map with my goals and I’m not a multitasker.

The reason I chose weight watchers again is because I don’t vilify food when on this program. It’s just food. It’s not bad or good. It’s super easy to do with the app, and if I need support I can attend a meeting.

If you really know me you know I eat a very healthy vegan diet, but it’s not enough. Portions, age related obstacles and the synthroid I take for hypothyroidism are all a part of my weight gain equation.

But that’s ok, I’m not looking backwards. I’m not going that way.

Those obstacles are not a dead end. I’m jumping over the road blocks, I’m finding how to navigate my vegan ways with some semblance of balance. If I want toast with coffee I will have toast with coffee, but I count it and usually don’t eat bread the rest of the day. It’s about the little choices you make that will help you journey to your destination.

Exercise is huge. I couldn’t do it without movement. I will keep working on it to be as fit as this body will be.

The one thing I do know, when my food feels in control and balanced everything else follows. My journey this time is not that much different than it was in July 2013 when I began mychangeforaten. I am better and chasing goals, better at life when my food is in control. 

Today is a great day for change. As my husband James always says, don’t think, just do. He also says don’t live in fear, because if you do, you are not living at all. I think we can all relate to fear after the last year and a half. 

Live, and thrive today. You can’t make a difference in the world if you do not take care of your health. We want you here. So if you need to change, today is a great day for change. Begin Today. In six months you will thank your younger self. 

Love and Light,

NATIONAL COOKIE DAY

Happy first day of October. I get so excited at this time of year, I can’t wait to visit Trader Joe’s to see all the deliciousness of the season. It’s also #nationalcookieday. One of my favorite healthy chocolate chip cookie recipes I bake often I posted on this blog when we lived in San Francisco. I also used the cookie recipe for when I helped my friend with a bake sale for her dog Oreo. I know, it’s too perfect of a dog name on National Cookie Day. By the way, Oreos are vegan as are my cookies. I’ve included a screenshot below from my original blog post if you would like to try the recipe. They are healthy and I believe only 3 ww points per cookie. Made out of mashed bananas and one of my favorite cookies to share with my friends. My non vegan friends go crazy for them. I hope you are having a fantastic beginning to October. I find it’s the perfect time for me to begin anew on this blog, I just love the Autumn. Happy October and Happy Cookie Day to all. Love and light, Rose.
