feeling good

today was a great day. i started the day by bringing daffodils to my grandmother and then took a long, fast walk outside. i took one yesterday too, and on each walk i finished a bottle of water. two stones in one. i feel really good about it, and really proud.

i also feel like my breakfast was really satisfying, and i found that contrary to the way i've been feeling, i didn't think about food for several hours afterward. even when i stopped at the store to get some chicken for the week, i didn't have any interest in the plentiful samples of cheese laid out. i had 1/3 cup of axelrod creamed whipped cottage cheese, a half of a pepperidge farm 7 grain deli flat with a tablespoon of olivio light. definitely going to have to continue that this week, especially because i need to use up the cottage cheese.

then i assembled my lunch for the week to bring to work, which i always do on mondays so i only have to carry it once. this week, it's mainly this chicken (sort of beating myself off because i want to get off processed, but for right now, this works) and diced cucumber on ak mak flatbreads with some of this dressing (again, processed).

i also made this soup which is quite honestly restaurant quality. instead of doing both teaspoons of regular curry powder, i did one of hot curry powder and 1 of regular so it has a really nice kick.

i feel like the week's off to a good start.
