brownies
It's been warm days and thankful for air conditioning... Fresh from a week's vacation... I should of asked for 2 weeks instead. ha! Oh my.... dreading mowing the lawn till tomorrow. I usually cut weekly but during my vacation I skipped it. I did daily gardening pulling weeds and looking after the trees and flowers. I had time to watched the dvd Julie Julia movie. I like cooking... I wish I met both Julie and Julia Child back then. It would be nice to have a foodie friend to go places like restaurants and cook here at home or theirs. My best friend moved away to Arizona our birthdays are both in July. So, Happy Birthday to us. I baked brownies today instead of cake. Yes, not very CR but I just needed a break today.

patience
It had been busy at the bank. My day went nonstop. I had Mrs P 82 yrs old fixed income. She wanted my assistance with her bills. I look at her and asked "how are you?" she was tired and stayed awake last night over a bill she received for an early break in contract with her cable company. So I called the cable company and asked what we could do and then passed the phone to Mrs, P All went well and they put her on a payment plan. She patted my hand as she spoke to them. After the call she was okay and back to herself. We finished our conversation and she got up and this is usually when we shake hands... she leaned and warmly hugged me. I walked her to the front door and let her go.. and another hug. Some days are always better than others.. but a warm hug made my day.

short step
It's been 5 days and going back on calorie restriction with standard 30-40-30 has been predictable.I have lost 4 pounds since cleanse. If you look at old blog notes and recipes in order to support notes. My body was use to high calories so the change was not a surprise.
I went grocery shopping today and found some delicious fruits tangelo-strawberries-green apples-bananas-blueberries. Tomorrow I will buy a new blender to make my famous smoothies. I will publish recipes.

sunday prep
In a not so perfect day of eating... tomorrow I prep for my juice fast. I have encountered many delectable foods in a not so perfect portions and salts. I need to go back and balance the nutrition and calories. I commit to going CR again in a wholesome fashion. Time to strategize hunger and mood eating and find satisfying foods. I found my eating not timed right and mood eating setting. Last grocery shopping was helpful. Tomorrow fast day I need to cleanse.

my new self
It seems time passes with a glimpse of who you are. Are you really who you are or just want to be. I'm starting again and returning to who I am. I am "my new self".
Item number one CR => I certainly need to go back to my recipes. I kept a great review of how to measure with calories and nutrition along with exercise.
Two pilates => I need to setup my pilates machine and set a time schedule or maybe really a mood schedule.
Three organize => less stuff = I have a shed in the backyard to clean and organize. My house is basic. I had purchased Pier One items: dining set - living room seating - working table for 2 - dividers - picture frames and a bed from Ikea... surprisingly comfortable...
My working table for two is a glass top and two cream leather highback chairs. I use the top and write notes with dry erase markers. Same thing on the dining table seats 6 with a glass top I write my grocery list. I purchase an Ikea a dry erase board and hung one for use in menu planning. The other is in the laundry room where I have a small desk I use for stamping and art work. I hang notes and photos plus art work in progress. The dry erase boards are okay but I thought why not the glass table tops-- it really works well to write on but use bold color like red or black or blue to see words and drawings.
Well lets try again for renewing myself.
