Fresh New Week!!

Let's start off with some new eats that I had yesterday. I was eager to give the lentils a try for lunch. Although this was on the dry side it was quite good with the combination of lentils, shredded carrots and raisins. There was a lot of filling in the tortillas and it was quite difficult to eat but it was quite good and filling.

For dinner it was a Caribbean dish. I thought was quite beautiful. It had couscous, mango, green onions, different colors peppers and black beans. I felt like it didn't have quite enough flavor I didn't add any salt and maybe that would have helped. But I did enjoy looking at it.

I still had some barley in the refrigerator so I thought I would have a yummy bowl for breakfast. I really enjoy barley and just love the texture. Nice great way to start my week.

Now on to my confession. I had quite a few treats yesterday. I was disappointed in myself but I will not let that effect how I choose to have my day today. I was pleased that the scale wasn't as bad as I thought. We must all realize that we are human and we some times lose our way but we all can learn from the experience and start fresh. That is exactly what I am going to do. I can tell that TOM is right around the corner and that could have played it to the eating that occurred yesterday. I am planning a new line of attach this week, I am going to attempt to add a few more calories to my week. Now that I am at a good weight I would like to start playing with my calories a little bit. I am hoping that I will be able to maintain my weight and eat a little more calories. The last few weeks I have only been having four meals so this week I am going to add another meal of 150 calories. I am excited about experimenting and see what happens.

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day yesterday and start off this new fresh week we have been given with a new outlook. I continue to remind myself that this is a journey not a destination.
