Well, that alarm went off again this morning as a subtle reminder that I need to keep to the new schedule that Maunie and I have so eloquently designed for our new lifestyle. Starting to dance felt great, so much so that I danced longer than I planned. I am proud of myself for that. We did only Just Dance 4 today (which I HIGHLY recommend - best songs than any dance game out there). So Maunie and I get to Skype, say good morning, and start working towards our goal weights all before 10:00 am. Although going to bed late makes it difficult to wake up sometimes, I think I will sooner or later get on a better sleep schedule.
Mark and I went to my mother's to do laundry and have lunch today. Mom and I made some homemade, delicious Healthy Tuna Salad. Mince four stalks of celery and three hard-boiled eggs, place them in a medium mixing bowl and mix together. Drain three cans of tuna in water and add to the mixture. Then measure about 3/4 cup of Miracle Whip Light and add to mixture. Blend together with a little bit of paprika.
There are several ways to serve this dish. One of which is on your traditional bread of choice, mine being Multigrain bread. Also it can be served, like my mother likes, on a wheat wrap. Or, my favorite and healthier option is a large piece of Romaine lettuce. That is how I served my sandwich today or as I call it Lettuce Wrap.
This is a great alternative to the constant lunch meat grind of turkey or roast beef (in my case). I seem to need to incorporate more fish into my diet and this is a great way to do that. I also am trying to cut out red meats, slowly but surely. I'm sure that I will still indulge in the occasional medium steak or burger on the 4th of July, but needless to say - I don't think that red meat does much for your waist line. My better half will never approve of cutting it out completely; however, I plan to trick him by using turkey meat to substitute without him noticing (because I'm that magnificent of a chef). What I will try to do so that he doesn't get sick of poultry or fish is to at least one dinner a week, for now, use some type of different meat or red meat. Flat steaks or small round steaks can be easily made into a savory Steak Fajitas or a light and fresh Steak Salad. So that is my plan that I am working towards as far as the red meat goes.
When it comes to my mental well being, I admittedly had a bit of trouble today. I struggled with some things that I wish I was able to maintain in a better way. I would like to make it a goal to start meditating again and really focusing on letting my true personality shine. I have heard before that a lot of people repress their true self because of something that has happened in his or her past and I don't want to become that person. The people who have hurt me are leaving my life, if not gone already. I am pruning my life of the evils and inner demons that have had a hold over me for far too long.
It seems as though it all will come together so long as we stay on path with everything. I can't wait to embody my hopes and dreams and fulfill myself in every way for a better future.
