I haven't done a posting of five things I am grateful for right now in quite a while... so it's about time to put it down in writing instead of musing to myself throughout the day. I find it beneficial to take a moment to stop, reflect, and recognize time simple things we have to be thankful for each and every day.
#1 - I am learning to control my newly diagnosed asthma and still continue my fitness journey alongside my dearest darling friend R. :)
#2 - I am back to cooking more of my meals from scratch (which is such a stress-reducer for me!) and am not eating emotionally/compulsively. Getting weighed at the doctor's office last Friday was a real eye-opener; it makes me even more determined to take control of my eating and exercising habits.
#3 - Since Lemons passing, my home has had a new sense of calm that I did not expect. My friends who have visited in the past few days have all remarked upon it. I had not realized how much stress his being sick had put on Lola Lulu and Gatsby. I know it was hard on me, but seeing them visibly happier and more relaxed is proving to be a much-needed succor while I am still grieving the loss of Lemons from our lives.
#4 - My favourite mid-morning snack (I tend to eat a light breakfast around 6:30am and my lunch hour doesn't begin until 11:30am) is Yoplait fat free Greek yogurt, honey vanilla flavour. It's only 100 calories, 0g fat, 8g protein, only 12g sugar, and 80mg sodium! The coconut (which contains actual flakes of coconut!) is delicious as well, but I ate it so frequently that I'm a little burned out on it for time being. I believe it is also available in blueberry and strawberry.
#5 - Every day I am more and more thankful that I have such an amazing, compassionate, and thoroughly enriching group of friends, who have over the approximately two years I have lived in Tucson become my family. I love you all!
