I've been feeling stressed about work lately, so I know what you mean. It has been hard for me to make changes in my diet when I'm feeling pressured. That's why it's going to be important for us to find changes that we can stick with through all the ups and downs of life. Because there's always going to be some kind of stress coming around the bend. My favorite way to deal with that has always been food. But I'd like to change that.
I used to joke that I'd like to be kidnapped by a band of sprout-eating gypsies and returned six months later and 60 pounds lighter. But I don't know many people who eat sprouts and I don't think I've even met a gypsy. So that particular weight-loss plan is as realistic as my desire to become the next Mrs. Paul McCartney, or Lady McCartney to be more accurate.
I'm going to try the recipes you wrote about this weekend and I haven't kept up my end of the bargain as far as exercise goes, but I'll go to the gym tonight and tomorrow. Progress, not perfection - right?
In the meantime, if you should happen across a fit-looking gypsy........

sounds like next week's goal should include sprouts! they are awesome on sandwiches and salads, and so healthy for you......whole foods sells an interesting variety of them too.
ReplyDeleteOur first comment! I'm so excited! I'm going shopping tonight and will indeed get some sprouts. Unless, of course, I run into a gypsy on the way to the store.
ReplyDeleteHi, ladies, just read all your posts. I wish you both the best.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to give Genevieve a very inspiring link..Kassandra's blog, "Not your typical, average, ordinary college girl". Kassandra has lost a LOT of weight and works very hard at it. She isn't much older than you, Genevieve.

She is amazing.
I gather inspiration from blogs and from things like the Joy Fit Club on the Today show (u can get it online.) Oh and The Biggest Loser. Chrissy
I like BRUSSELS sprouts and sometimes I dress like a (fashionable) gypsy. Not sure that counts.
