The New Normal...

Good Sunday Morning to you all,

I don't but I know many people make these New Years Resolutions and then wind up failing soon after. Well this is a new year and a chance for you to start taking care of YOU!! A chance to start eating healthy and lose the weight that you have always wanted to do.

So you have tried many things in the past? Even lost some weight and then gained it back as soon as you start to eat normal again?

OK - so here is the scary realization part that we must all face.......We can NEVER eat the way we used to again! EVER!! Remember that and you will do fine. This is the New Normal...

You must be; Consistent - Strict - and STRONG...Be Strong no matter what others put in your face. You CAN Do It!!

On Friday I decided to limit the carbs since I ate so much the day before on my Birthday, but for me that is not a good idea.

Even though it looks like plenty of food, I think I need a carb at breakfast. I went for a 2 mile walk with the dogs around 10 ish and half way thru I felt very shaky inside maybe because of my E.T.'s

For lunch I made this delicious different pizza. Recipe here: http://purplerosy.blogspot.com/p/pizza-recipes.html

This was my dinner Friday, some broccoli, brussel sprouts, and some appetizer thingys we got at Sams Club. Bacon wrapped chicken, shrimps and beef.

My breakfast yesterday (Saturday) was 2 Oasis toast, eggs, avocado and berries.

 I went to Pasadena to pick up Maria and we went to the early 11:40 am show of Le Miserables. We both had 2 slices of turkey lunchmeat and 2 cheeses I put in baggies for us and popcorn and I had water and she had a diet coke. We both loved the movie and Hugh Jackman was great!!

We were at the Santa Anita mall and walked around for a while after cause it was only 2:45 when we got out. I bought these cute Betsey Johnson slippers at Macy's for only $13 plus tax and she got a necklace.

 So we were on our way out to the car and walked out the door and I turned left down the sidewalk towards the car and for some reason she just kept going and fell off this HUGH curb flat on her face in the street of the parking structure!!! All these wonderful people came rushing over to help us. It looked really bad but was not as bad as it looked and she just wanted to go to the car. She said her knee hurt but that she was OK. Thank goodness we didn't need to go to the hospital.

I took her home and she gave me a few of her homemade tamales for me to eat today - maybe lunch?

I got home after 5pm then hubby got home at 7pm. I ate some broccoli and wings for my dinner.

My breakfast this morning was Chocolate-Protein-Oatmeal-pancakes.
1/4c of rolled oats I let soak in 1/4c of unsweetened almond milk for a few minutes, 1 tb of peanut butter, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, and 2 eggs.

I used my small frying pan sprayed it with coconut oil spray and cooked one at a time - it made 2.

They have a different texture then regular pancakes but were good I ate them cut in quarters like a pizza with some Natures Hollow preserves on top.

We have a couple newbies on here; Val and Rosalie (same name as me). they both need our support to help them reach their goal.
And Rosalie no I am not Portugese, My mom was American and my Dad was from Poland - both Jewish.

Well I hope you all have a nice rest of the weekend or whatever is left of it.

Thanks for listening. This is PurpleRosy signing off...
