densy

I have struggled for the last month.  Three weeks of being sick and then the last week of PMS has been rough, but I am back and ready to fight!  It’s not so much about the weight I want to lose at this point.  I want to be toned.  I want to be strong, both physically and emotionally.  I’m sure that for me it’s going to be a life-long struggle to remain that way, but I’m up for it now.  I really believe that the majority of my weight issues have revolved more around my brain than my mouth.  I won’t have trouble conquering the weight when I conquer all the emotional/mental issues that “make” me eat.  Anyway, I’m up for the challenge now!

I’ve worked out this morning for 50 minutes to my favorite “I-only-do-it-when-I’m-feeling-strong” workout.  I’ve got big plans to cook up a pot of Unfried Refried Beans today to use on a low-fat Mexican pizza.  It’s something we all enjoy and is pretty healthy for as good as it tastes.  I love to use the beans on that as well as in burritos, quesadillas, etc.  They are totally healthy and a good way to get my kiddos to eat beans!  Of course Mondays always bring lots of laundry, cleaning, etc.  I actually love it because we get back to normal after the weekend of having my husband home.  I can accomplish so many things on Mondays!  Bring on the week-I’m ready for it!
