Wk 8, Day 7 - Sun, 26-Jan-2014

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

• Thank you God for being able to go to church.
• Thank you God for an amazing tuna salad panini that my husband, kids and I made together.  
• Thank you God for my husband and kids.
• Thank you God for my family.
• Thank you God for my church.

THOUGHTS:

• Today I am somewhat sore from yesterday's what I thought seemingly easy workout.
• My husband, kids and I love our tuna salads as they are incredibly delish.  It is loaded with veggies, creamy and lots of flavor.  Each ingredient serves a great purpose.  Seriously it is way better than just tuna, mayo, and celery.  The avocado gives it a creaminess so you don't need as much mayo.  Using Greek yogurt makes it less fattening, but it doesn't taste quite as good.  I like Best Foods Mayo .
• Borrowed a book from the library called Forks Over Knives Cookbook.  My daughter saw the movie last year in Science and wanted to become a vegetarian.  We love meet and wasn't about to do that, but I do believe totally in eating a lot of veggies.  Since I had 3 eggplants, orange peppers, I found a recipe in the book using these things and made it, Eggplant Polenta Casserole.
• Happy to have used up all the veggies that my sister's husband's sister gave us finally.  Nothing went to waste!  Praise God!
• We have red peppers, brussel sprouts, onions, and potatoes to finish eating before the end of the week.
• Watched two movies today and my ears need to be refreshed.  Not good.  Lots of bad language.  
• Didn't really work today as I feel burned out from a full week and yesterday being super busy.
• My husband is hard at work applying for more jobs, this time being less choosy.
• Made baked chips from beets and eggplant today.  I don't think I will make eggplant chips again, but I might the beets.  Potatoes would probably be easier.

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, Multi vitamins, fish oil, probiotics, cinnamon, Zn, Mg, Ca
