Everyone plant peas!

It's time for pea planting. I don't believe we will get anymore frost, so these need to go in now. The rest of the garden will go in in the next 2 weeks, starting with seeds (squash, cuke, chard) and tomatoes. Finally the herbs can go out.

So, I didn't write everyday but I have been doing fairly well. The biggest problems are my days off when I tend to eat whatever anyone else is eating. During the week, I have been able to get my work meals together with minimal fuss. One of my favorite recipes is for almond/hazelnut milk. It ends up being just as creamy as cow's milk but with great flavor. I prefer it to soy milk and its homemade! So far I have lost 8 pounds. My pj pants fell off me yesterday. This week I am working on working out everyday. Combinations of yoga/pilates/walking/weights and I am going to pull out the bike this weekend.

I am following a new way of eating. I am calling it Mindful Eating because I have to pay attention to everything. It is mostly Raw Food. I am trying for 75% and the remainder 25% will be whole grains (rice, quinoa, barley, etc). I will write a bit each day to keep track of how I am doing.
