Oh my goodness. I'm sort of wishing I made this a "10 day challenge". I'm having a harder and harder time coming up with things to write. I hope you all don't lose interest and stop reading. Please dont. I love all my readers. I already have fun crafty plans for later in the week, but just didnt get to it today.
SO. What am I thankful for today? Well, today I decided to do something good for my body. I joined Weight Watchers again. I have been doing a VERY good job for the first time in my life at MAINTAINING my weight, which is something I have never done in my adult life. I am either losing, or gaining(and havent tried either way). It's been over a year now since I have had any significant gain, so I am thankful for that.
I have really tried to make eating healthier part of my life. I rarely EVER eat fast food anymore, I try to eat more "whole" foods. I limit refined sugars and breads (thanks to my wheat free life...), and I try and eat less hormones and eat more organic and clean. I pat myself on the back. I would like to start losing now, but I want to make sure to do whats right for my body and my mind. For ME this means to eat a lot of super healthy food and try to enjoy it!
For all the horrible things I have done to my body over the years, it still runs. It still does what I need it to do (mostly), and I take it completely for granted. Think about all the things your body does in one day, and all the horrible things we do and say to it. Today I am thankful for my body. I love my body.
Tomorrow I am going to the farmers market again, and need some ideas on how to eat some leafy greens. I saw a lot there last time, and just have never been so successful cooking it unless I literally cook the crap out of it and cover with butter... Any ideas on how to cook kale, chard, or greens in a healthy way?
So, to a healthy and happy body. Wish me luck. :) Tonights dinner: Salmon with roasted garlic and onions, Broccoli, and rice. Nothing fancy, just thought I needed a picture for this day.

Great idea for today's "thankful". I have been pretty bad to my body today, eating a plate of carnitas nachos (birthday splurge). I should definitely be nicer to by body by drinking more water. I will use you and your 30 days of thankful as motivation to do just that. Looking forward to tomorrow's post.
you can do it!!
I <3 the farmer's market!
I tend to cook swiss chard or other leafy greens by disguising it- like cooking it in soup or chili.
I love that you are doing this 30 day challenge! I think this would be so healthy for anyone to do- I'm sure it makes you realize very quickly how incredibly full and blessed your life is!
Try the pressure cooker. You will LOVE how your veggies turn out, and you can cook meat and desserts.
It's steam cooking and the food keeps the nutriants in tact Love you Mimi!
It is hard to say we love ourselves. Particularly our bodies. Our society is so concerned with the perfect body it is hard not be a perfectionist. Good for you for saying it! Love you!
Kale is great in a potato soup! I love it fresh but usually people prefer it limped a little :)
LOVE this post. I am so thankful for my body. It is such a freakin trooper. I am LOVING this challenge you are doing! I was gone for the weekend but I am catchin up!
oooh! I have a totally yummy soup recipe that calls for Kale. . . remind me to give it to you. Just thinking about it makes me want to make it. . .
