Dizzy Blondes:
Nothing here this week. Nope. No spinning...
Pondering the sales of wheels.
Strategy:
The 4 questions of Mindfulness:
1. Do I have enough to eat today?
2. Do I have clothing that covers me warmly and sufficiently?
3. Do I have a safe place to sleep tonight?
4. Do I have people who love and and care about me?
When you are anxious or sad, ask yourself these questions to bring yourself back to today.

Put a Lid On It:
Shepherd's Pie:
meat, leftover or not. Brown ground beef first
Leftover stuffing/dressing from holiday bird
Mashed potatoes leftover
leftover veggies.
gravy or meat broth
grated or shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 350-400F
Use stuffing to line pie pan as bottom crust and sides.
Fill with meat, veggies, and gravy. Top crust is made from mashed potatoes. Cook for about an hour. Put cheese on top.
One holiday bird makes stock (add spices and bay leaf to bones I slow cooker), and then soup. Shepherd's Pie, and the actual holiday meal.
Still enjoying last summer's cherry harvest. Pickled my beloved lemons and made my well-loved bread'n'butter pickles.I preferto use Persian cukes for my sweet pickles.
Aw Shoot!
I'm pretty much treading water on weight loss and exercise--no gains, but steadily maintaining. Dreams of trail running on REAL trails. Safety first--don't be out there alone, wear ID (I like RoadID), and pick the best shoes for stability.
Something I Really Like:
Trader Joe's food stores. More on what I am doing with my Pebble watch. Flex-o-mania!
