catch up!

blogging every day is hard to do!  i'm going to do better.

i have been eating quite well - lots of veggies n meat.  a bunch of dairy tho.  so i need to cut down on that. 

on mother's day i did have a little cheat - ice cream.  i didn't really enjoy it as hard as i've been craving it (super bad every day). 

today i also had a bit of a cheat - sprouted corn tortilla quesadilla.  i've been eating salads at least once a day this week.  feels good to eat lettuce again!  in a few weeks i'll be having garden-fresh salads  :)

breakfast - bacon and eggs on a big salad
lunch - hotdog wrapped in lettuce
dinner - roast veggies with sausage on top of salad

exercise - moving all day - walking, cleaning, gardening, playing with kids

primal intentions

let's get healthy during the month of may (and beyond).  

my goals are to:
avoid sugar and grains
eat lots of veggies and meat
get more sleep
practice yoga 3x a week (or more)

tomorrow i'll do a weigh in. take some "before" pictures.  i'm hoping for some results with eating well consistently.
