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.
