Hey hey, everyone! Hope you all are doing well this evening. I’ve had a busy day and I can’t believe it is almost time to go back to work. I didn’t get everything on my to do list done but honestly, once we were able to get out of the house this afternoon, we probably spent more time out and about that we had planned. Before we left, I did some unstuck reading followed by a yoga practice and a 30 minute meditation. I’ve been thinking a lot of the unstuck challenge and how I want to proceed. What I keep finding is that certain things stick with me and until I have processed it, I can’t seem to move forward. I’m not sure what this means on a daily basis but I think it is best to honor how I feel instead of rushing through it.
The thing that has been sticking with me most the past few days is the opening quote from day 11 of Meditations from the Mat
I want to get back to a place where I am doing the things that make me healthy, like meditating, coloring mandalas, regular exercise, a yoga practice and regular blogging. I want to be healthy. I want to be the best that I can be and I know that if I use these tools, I can and will be. I feel like I am finally moving out of my funk and into a much healthier place. I hope to keep moving forward and I really appreciate you guys sticking by me through all of the ups and downs.
Speaking of healthy, today, I had some pretty healthy eats that I would love to share.
Lunch.
This morning, I baked up some almond flour bread from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook
Dinner.
For dinner, I made “pizza”. I know, it only midly resembles pizza but it was delicious. I made the crust with almond flour and topped it with sauted broccoli and zucchini along with the almond cheese I finished making this a.m. The “cheese” didn’t really melt the way I was hoping and I think I might build the pizza a little differently next time but it was still a satisfying dinner.
Now, I must get ready for the work week and try to get into bed early. I will probably have some tea to help wind me down and I think we have a couple of episodes of Mercy on the DVR.
G’nite
What about you? What are the “tools in your toolbox”?
Yes, most vegan nut “cheeses” don’t actually melt–sorry if you were led to believe otherwise! There’s a processed brand that supposedly does melt, but since I don’t do anything processed, I haven’t tried it. Your pizza looks great, anyway :) And that bread looks amazing–I will have to check out the recipe!

No, I wasn’t led to believe it would melt, I was just hoping :D I don’t really do much processed food either so I think next time, I would spread the cheese on the crust first and then add the toppings.
daily exercise, my personal first aid kit (ie a kit of things which make me smile) and blogging

the bread looks like it turned out great!
sounds like it was a pretty good weekend :)
One “tool” I have to do to keep somewhat balanced/feeling good is just planning a little bit. I don’t have to plan everything down to the last drop, but I always feel better if I have a meal list for the week or some ideas for easy lunches, etc. It just means less for me to think/worry about, and that helps a lot during the week.

Nice, positive post. Glad you’re feeling good.
Throughout my recovery the “toolbox” metaphor has been one that I have really stuck with. When I moved back to school, away from home, it was my “tools” that kept me on the healthy track. Tools like my meal plan, reaching out to others, and being more patient with myself have been very helpful.
