I’m really sorry peeps! (peep?)
So I promised I’d blog regularly in the new year and I don’t even make it to February before I start to slack! I have been more successful in other areas though, so let’s say I’ve been busy and working hard on different goals!
The eat down the pantry challenge is going smashingly well! We are having a blast… well at least I am. So fun to get creative finding delicious and healthy choices from what we have on hand. Last night, paella… omg, delish! All stuff in freezer/pantry. Tonight, salmon patties and zucchini orzo. SOOO good, and I don’t even like fish! I used some expensive canned salmon I bought mail order after briefing losing my senses (and a chunk of cash) reading a Dr. Perricone book.
So to me my pantry is staring to look quite bare, but the hubster says we have a longgggg way to go before we’re in any danger of starvation. I think he’s probably right. Here’s a peek inside.
Yes, it looks full, and it is, but many staples are gone… no more olive oil or canned tomatoes… almost out of flour and sugar (lots of baking!) but TONS of pasta, rice, soups canned beans. OK… we will survive, as long as we carbo-load! We shop again for the last time this month (hopefully) next Sunday. We have $83 left of our $200 grocery budget, which is amazing!!!!
While I’ve slacked on the blog this week, I have been totally committed to the work out my friends!! I’ve hit 10K steps every day this week, and logged a great 60+ minute walk each day. I’ve been embracing the program options on the treadmill at the Y… no more flat walks for me! Loving the random hill program! I’m getting a much better work out and I know cuz I’m schvitzing like a coal miner!! Also doing the weight circuit, 2x this week.
OH… I also did a mini-make over this week. New glasses, new haircut and new color. I am looking fine!! Ready to hit the interview circuit…. now why aren’t those job offers rolling in yet?? Hmmmmm….
We shall see… stay tuned for the next installment of “Grammie’s Goodies”… it’s gonna be GOOD!!!!
OH>>>>> my mantra for this year is now official, thanks to my fab friend and stylist Jannell…
KEEPING IT ZEN IN 20-10!!
Embrace the calm with me!
