oops...

Saw a picture like this on Facebook today & thought it was pretty amazing to think about...  I am thankfully pretty lean in the fact that I don't LOOK like what the scale says I weigh... But I know there are a few more areas that could use some more conversion to muscle, and I am working on that a little at a time.

My oops title - is because I haven't posted here in almost a month!  Wow...

I am still plugging away at juicing for 2-3 meals per day, eating wheat/grain free, being mostly vegetarian and dairy free...  I get most of my protein from beans - been experimenting with creating my own chili with potatoes, kidney beans (from dry - I soak them before cooking them), tomato paste, and seasonings... my oldest daughter loves it once she adds some onions to it and both of us have been having it for a warm breakfast!  :)

I am trying really hard to get my walking in at work - and at my current pace I will only be a bit short of my goal for the year - the shortage is really from how my workload changed in the summer to be working more on helping with the fires that PDR deals with - and the coordinating the contents cleaning crew and writing the estimates to bill the insurance for the work we do... I really enjoy it - but it starts to wear on me when I am really doing two full time jobs at the same time!  Soon enough we will have an employee in place to take up the slack of what I have been juggling...

I have soo many hats I wear at work - Job Cost Accountant, Office Manager, Contents Manager, Tech support - and general person to ask any questions of LOL...  I enjoy the variety, but not the current feeling of being behind all the time...

Current challenge : trying to keep from eating so much crap!  There are a lot of sugared things that fit into the category of things that I can still eat - vegetarian and wheat free... I keep finding myself consuming WAYYY more of the junk than I should... I contemplated starting another reboot to stop myself... But then thought to myself - if I can have the willpower to reboot (juice only for 3-10 days) then why can't I just STOP eating the junk?  I am starting today on trying to make that adjustment...

I remember when I did my Reboot and how I didn't want to convert to eating - because the juicing for every meal took away the need to make choices - I just had juice all the time - and didn't need to decide what to have...  Well that is sort of a crutch - as I can't juice forever - I have to figure out how to deal with saying NO to the junk and get past it... I was able to do a juice fast and say no to that stuff for 7 days, why can't I say no to that stuff while eating normally... I will report back how that goes... :)
