Hello friends. Simon & I met up with friends for a beer on Friday night and stayed up quite late. So, last night, we balanced everything out by cooking a delicious healthy dinner, Simon built a lovely fire, we curled up on the couch and watched Elf with Will Farrell (which we had never seen before, we aren't big movie watchers), and went to bed early. Ahhh, it felt good to have a healthy night in.
We also got all of our presents for our UK and EU family members wrapped and shipped yesterday. This is a great accomplishment for us as we are usually running behind at the holidays. This year we are feeling nicely prepared and slightly ahead of the game.
Day 24
Exercise: Rest Day (I did have a dream about running my first ever 5K race, does that count???)
Breakfast: Small portion of leftover PD Fruit & Yogurt Parfait with sweet dark cherries, tea
Lunch: PD Baked Tortilla Chips with some PD Onion Dip and the last of my PD Pico de Gallo Especial. Snacked on the chips while preparing a late lunch of tostadas with PD Unfried Black Beans, PD Not-Yo Cheeze Sauce, and PD Onion Dip with chives. Also had a trifle with PD Chocolate Chia Pudding and a crumbled PD Cherry Cacao Muffin. Lunch was really late, after our post office trip, so I was HUNGRY!
Dinner: Big salad with tons of veggies, PD Spicy Bird Seed & PD Creamy Ranch Dressing, PD Hush Puppies with a sauce of PD Soy Yogurt mixed with Frank's Red Hot Sauce. I love the hush puppies, so delicious. They are great heated in the toaster over for breakfast too. We each had a warm PD Cherry Cacao Muffin after dinner as well.
All Protective Diet (PD) recipes can be found HERE.
Mindfulness: I have changed a few habits, like not eating while reading or on the laptop. I don't know that I have really changed my eating habits a lot though. I still sometimes eat too fast and still tend to finish whatever portion is in front of me unless I am bursting full. When I share my insights after the challenge, I will share more on what I have learned and plan to take forward from this mindfulness practice.
Today we plan to do a longer 1 hour Yin Yoga video and work on some Christmas cards. Maybe some Asian kale for dinner. Another healthy quiet day at home is in order. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
