LOVE these giant blueberries that are at the store now!

Awesome day! Haven't had a really good one in a while. You just have to keep trying!! Many goals met. Low intensity cardio, strength training and a 40 min walk/run. But definitely now its time to soak!ðŸ˜ðŸ›€

Needed to switch it up from salad, so, Rainbow Vegetable Spring Rolls with 5 Spice Tofu. Plus it means I get to have Spicy Peanut Sauce 😄 Win!
Changing up glass #4 with 7 oz ginger infused water with 1 oz of unsw. cranberry juice and 1/2 tsp chia seeds. Let gel. Touch of fiber/protein, and vaguely reminiscent of a bubble tea! [Thanks Pick up Limes]
Made two Bloody Marys- each: 6oz V8 w/1oz vodka. Made FOUR veg/pickle skewers(are pickles a veggie?🤔). Keeping myself honest and counting both beverages as one veg serving😄
BTW I really miss having a professional make my cocktails for me! Stupid contagious virus!

Walnut Kale Tacos! Everything inside was good, but the homemade low carb coconut flour tortilla was very weird. More recipe research tomorrow! Blueberry Spinach smoothie for other meal
First meal of the day 1:30pm...All The Things Salad😄😄. That's a lot of veggies on an empty tummy!🤞🤞Added Sesame Peanut Dressing with hemp hearts💕 
Lunch today is Rainbow Roll Ups (cream cheese too) & V8

5% Challenge Week #4 begins today and am going to try hard to duplicate week 1 with 400 exercise minutes! Day 1 ✔
Dinner was Stir Fried Veggies with Italian Seasonings + parmesan and capers. (DH had his over pasta.) Forgot to add the garbanzo beans so I guess I'll be roasting those later LOL
Turmeric Soup & Chopped Salad for lunch

They can't all be 🌈 winners can they? 😄 Adding kale too soon tends to "Army Green" things up a bit! Walnut Puttanesca over Spaghetti Squash. (Walnuts, diced tomatoes, olives×2, capers, cabbage, kale, spices in random/haphazard amounts!) Truth.

Yuck. It's a reminder to appreciate/take advantage of EVERYTHING good in life while you have it. No matter how small or inconsequential it may seem...it may be fleeting. I don't mean this to be depressing or a rebuke...just a reminder that "we" tend to take many things for granted. An attitude of gratitude is never a bad thing IMHO.
Superbowl Eating Phase 1!
😠Pesto was a good choice for 1st time trying these. Texture a bit different than pasta, but very neutral taste. Hooray a viable pasta alternative! 
Whoopsie. This salad got a little out of hand! Only could eat 75% of it 😄😄😄 was around 4 cups of raw vegetables. 
Happy Hour snack with a Truly! 💗 Kinda low carb? Hit the spot though!😁
Another new low carb product- I like this one even better than the spaghetti! Sauteed vegetables (+ raw zuchinni & peppers which I don't like cooked😉)with Sesame oil, soy sauce & peanut butter. This one is a game changer! I'm so excited! #glutenfree #lowcarb![See this image larger]()

SantaDH knew how bummed I was that my Runners Knee kept me from exercising during December...He was a bit late, but with this gift I'm ready now to start 2021 (and finish &$#% 2020) on the right foot! (literally, that's the injured side LOL)
2 sets of 10 minutes! Hooray!
Before eating I added hemp hearts and pepitas. Topped with hot sauce/braggs aminos/acv.

2020 strikes again! 11/28: after a month with very little progress, decided to cut way back on carbs...
Today flipped the Farmers Market calendar to December...grrr!😆
Happy Halloween! Hope it was fun and safe! I smell like a campfire and didn't eat all the reeses pumpkins I squirreled away...WIN!
Week 1 Oct 6-11
Week 2 Oct 13-18
Week 3 Oct 20-25
2020 is so freaking stupid/weird!
6 inches today! RECORD! (Roseville MN) My yard is confused...christmas?
Detail of Halloween Quilt. I had to make it...collecting too many fabrics! :)
My Halloween Quilt (started in 2018)
from our LOTR party. I love gluing stuff to my face/body!
Only the right photo was from October.
Our family has had costume parties in July, August...
Some of my past costumes. (not necessarily Halloween)
another 6 days in a row working out! #tryinghard!
Morning walk was a tad bit inclement! Very gusty. Return trip @ 37° (5 miles round trip). Mistakes were made!😄🥶😞 25k steps today!
My Yard October 2020
The slightly wilted salad & V8 for lunch wasn't photo-worthy😠but I AM proud of this "Pasta Primavera" supper because the naughty part of me didn't want to chop and saute veggies at all, but I did it! 🌈 (isn't the cauliflower pretty?)
🌈 😠Kale and romaine under the rainbow! Purple cauliflower was both fun & regular(tasting)!
[cauli, red cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, corn, edamame, zuchinni]
My DH called it Salad Porn :D
...to me it was "clean out the crisper drawer" Salad...because tomorrow is Farmers Market again! YAHOO!! Living it up while there are fresh LOCAL veggies!!!!
Got in 14,000 steps before noon! Walked home 3.4 miles from Farmers Market carrying 18 lbs! (apples, squash, tomatoes, honey) Did managed to successfully avoid the dragons as well! :D
Made Zoodles (which I am not a fan of) and a super fast Puttanesca-style sauce. Sort of forgot that the capers and green olives were already salty when I added a hefty dose of garlic salt!!! Needless to say I hit my water goal washing it down! :D
I guess that's one way (a bad way) to do it! 
Challenge Complete (day 3)
Dinner~Zoodles(not a fan) with homemade puttanesca-type sauce
*must remember to add beans next time*
Lunch~Kowalskis Superfood Salad
Breakfast~Fruit + spinach Smoothie
Trying HARD to work through the massive amount of F/V I bought a few days ago!
adulting and trying to avoid a trip to the compost bin!! 
There is a distinct possibility that I have overestimated a few things...
●my cooking abilities
●fridge space
●our appetites
😆
