Week IV Already

I'm having fun with this. I'm enjoying new foods that I previously was too........I don't even know the word(s)...well maybe just too stuck in my ways to even try. It's not even that I wouldn't have tried these foods if someone else made them or if I was at a restaurant, but maybe I thought they were beyond my grasp? I'm not quite sure.

Either way, I've never made Ethiopian food before, or Indian for that matter, and I've been delving into it quite passionately lately. Curry, I love you. My house smells like it today. I made a great red lentil dish for lunch that I'll have to post sometime.

Another plus side? I've lost weight. No, it's not been much but I was sort of at a plateau. I hadn't lost anything worthy of mentioning for a few weeks before I began this journey. And now? Almost 7 lbs - I'd say that's pretty good. No in fact it's great. And I can actually fit into some jeans comfortably now with out dying to go home and unbutton them so that I can actually breath!

I have more energy too. It can't be my imagination because I'm actually getting more accomplished on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a little lethargic, I always have been come mid-afternoon, but it's getting much better. 3 days out of the 5 during the week this week, I haven't taken a nap while the kids were napping. And no - that's not because Mia was awake when Dominic was sleeping - it's because I put the kids to bed for nappy time and I thought to myself, I have too much energy to sleep. Productivity here I come!
