I made pizza and garlic bread and such for boys.I had new potatoes,green beans and salad.I enjoyed it alott actually.

so yes,all is going realy well.

I am realy happy I got through,mind you you know,this morning I forgot to pray for strength,and this has been the only day I struggled,I prayed just before I went for a lay down,I have had no problems ever since.

we got guests tonight,I have biscuits and tea for them,good ole chamomnile and spearmint tea for me..lol.

I now feel I have the strength to do the biscuit boogie and such with no temptation thankyou God,fancy me thinking I could do this by myself ..LOL

You're looking so amazing! Fresh foods can be so delicious and wonderful. I had new potatoes and mushrooms for brunch the other day; they can be so fabulous, can't they?

thankyou so much for your lifting words and love notesmeave

fit for life-- wow I have to take a moment here to refect on my journey so far ,with fit for life by harvey and marylin Diamond.

first what comes to mind is gratitude,to have found a way of eating that is for me ,true magic.

* I have lost 3 inches from my waist,now I have been working hard with excercise and dance for a long time,but I got to a size 12/14 and got stuck there,that weight would not budge.some days I was working 4 hours a day,I became quite depressed as it just wouldnt budge,now it is disappearing before my very eyes!I could feel my hip bones when I layed in bed last night ...wow!!

* my skin -it looks so healthy and refreshed,people have commented I am looking younger.

* when I do dance ,yoga and callan,I find it easier to hold a posture,or move my belly as its no longer swollen.

* I am more positive and upbeat



so here I am,still on my mission,today is an all day salad day,my favourite sort of day,I love giving my body a cleanse.I am a success story!isnt that fantastic!
