Health Month: Mid-week check in

-


THAT was my last meal before health month: Via Tribunala's SALAME pomodoro (fresh mozzarella, salame) So fresh and yummy!

So far health month hasn't been too too bad. I had cravings yesterday for something either salty or sweet but opted for tea with an apple with a little bit of peanut butter.

Me doing Health Month isn't necessarily to change my diet.
The main reason I'm doing Health Month (two friends created years ago) is to discipline myself and exercise more consistently. Though I'm sticking to the rules, its not about the intake to me- its the discipline. Granted, I'm hoping that minus the bread, alcohol, dairy and so forth with working out that I'll lose a few pounds but I spent many years battling weight issues and found its all about balance. If you want something, enjoy it, just don't overindulge in it. This girl needs discipline and Health Month seems like a good start.

I'm drinking more tea right now as I'm fighting a little cold (runny nose, cough, sore throat). I love Yogi tea. Have you had it? For the past year I have been buying their two variety packs, Cold Season Sampler and Rest & Relax Sampler. The packs are great and very helpful when you need then. Nothing like something that taste good while making you feel better. They have little fortunes on the tea bag like a fortune cookie.... so hippy right.

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner.

It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
