It's the forth day of the new year and I am feeling positive about my choices. I started out the day with a two mile walk with a friend of mine. It felt good to be out walking, and the weather was beautiful, but I was tired three quarters of the way through. I guess that tells me how out of shape I am!!!! I plan on walking again Friday and hopefully I will keep on going.
Our vegetarian diet is on track and I'm not missing the meat (my daughter on the other hand just commented about a TV commercial showing a bacon burger! - Ha Ha). Tonight I tried spaghetti squash with marinara sauce. It was supposed to be spaghetti squash lasagna style which looked so goo
d and had great reviews. But I didn't have enough time so I took some short cuts. I really want to try the lasagna style so I will make it another time.

I really want to try the lasagna style so I will make it another time.Last night we made vegetable flatbread pizzas which were wonderful!!! I used the whole wheat lavash bread from Trader Joe's then topped them with a little sauce and mozzarella then we loaded up the veggies! Red onion, mushrooms, roasted red bell peppers, and spinach. We had fun making it and eating it. I think I could eat this every day!
Tomorrow I have a challenge. My son has a wrestling match tomorrow night and I won't be home to prepare my own dinner. I think we will be eating out. I might make my food in advanced and take it with me. Not sure how that will work. I'll have to think about this situation.....
Another challenge is drinking water. I should increase the amount of water I'm drinking every day but I tend to drink more coffee than water. Love that caffeine! But I don't drink sodas or other sugary drinks so I think that's a positive.
Yesterday, one of my friends on Facebook suggested having a word of the year rather than making a resolution. What a great idea. My word is FOCUS. I need to learn to focus not only on taking care of my health but other parts of my life including house work (which I hate), and planning ahead. Focus, Focus, FOCUS...
Peace and Focus

Cool blog so far. I drink a lot of coffee too. My doctor tells me to drink more water. I am drinking more, but probably not as much as he would like. Keep up the good work.
