Is it weird to devote an entire post to a single food? When it's goat cheese...nope! I love this stuff! It's so rich and creamy and tangy and just down right tasty! One of my splurges last month, when I had money, was a little tube of goat cheese. I didn't know what to do with it, I just knew I liked it! Well now I know...you eat the stuff with pan fried (in cooking spray) polenta and a dab of pesto sauce! I am not sure, but I may venture to say that this may be the best tasting thing I have ever made! And it is so simple! The polenta and the pesto were also splurges last month. Seems last months recklessness may not turn out to be so bad after all. One serving of polenta with an ounce of goat cheese and tablespoon of pesto only set me back 6 points! It was so good too! And filling! I took a picture, but it doesn't do it justice. The creamy cheese mixed with the grainy but creamy polenta with the oily pesto....it sounds so gross really, but it was PERFECT! I wish I was more poetic and could describe it better! haha! Anyway, wish I could take credit for this creation, but I googled it (after I had already decided to try the stuff together ) and discovered it's a commom combo....I had never heard of it before! So I am going to take credit for it anyway! Yum! I rock! Ok there's my entry on an appetizer. Sorry, I'm done now!!
reminder
Do you ever get frustrated because things are moving too slowly in your life? Many people don't realize that building a foundation for success does not happen overnight. It is a slow process in which you are constantly working and learning. After all, that foundation must remain strong, even in times of failure or crisis. This takes time! You may have to remind yourself that "failing" is only failure if you quit; otherwise it's a learning opportunity. So don't worry if your life seems to be moving in slow motion. Concentrate on building a solid foundation and learning from your back steps
My Plan
So I've been going at this weight loss/ healthy lifestyle/ exercise/ love myself shit for years now. Seriously, when will I just get it? I am a quitter and loser. The fact that it's a couple of years later and I'm here starting over is proof positive. I've got a million and half excuses as to why I gained the weight back but not a single one of them matters. I need to do this. I need to push myself and get over the quitter mentality. I've learned that I'm a miserable person when I'm unhealthy. If anything came out of previous success it's that knowledge. Being healthy makes me happy. Simple as that. I have to do this. MY life depends on it.
I am setting a goal for myself of 5% of my body weight at a time. Since I weigh 210 pounds right now, that means 10.5 pounds is 5% of my body weight, I think....math and I have never gotten along very well. I'll try something a little different this time and figure out what 5% of each new weight is too...maybe that will keep me more motivated.
Anyway, as I meet my goals, I plan on rewarding myself! I NEVER reward myself, I wont even buy myself the right kind of shampoo half the time because I hate wasting money on me. But self help is a great thing and something to look forward to. My rewards will always non food items and always something personal.
I will also make a meal plan each saturday night, buy the groceries sunday and stick with it through the week. I will be making Brian do this with me and he will lose more weight than me and I will get jealous but that will not make me quit like it would have in the past. I will be able to fit into my clothes again. I will want to dress up and put on makeup and fix myhair again. I will feel like a human being again. And I WILL learn to love myself FINALLY!
