Listies

• I can't think of any good resolutions other than the old ones that I've made, but haven't kept. 
• Recovering from a really bad flu. It was a good flu in that I lost 6lbs. I know about 4lbs of that is probably water, but hey! That is good news. hehe
• Watching movies/tv shows have kept me occupied while I've been sick. However, I only pay really close attention when they show a binder or a planner. Then I pause and (zoom in if it's Netflix) contemplate what planner brand it is. It caught my eye that Robin from "Sister Wives" uses a Kate Spade! 
• I think if I keep any resolutions this year they will be the ones that involve documenting my year, yarn, weight loss and planning/organizing. Those seem to be the most important.

Listies!

•I like it cold at night when I'm sleeping. But I need it to be warm to get out of bed.

•I feel burned out with bento. Plus. It's so hard for my girls to bring their bentos home from school. 

•Thanksgiving is in three days and I don't have a turkey yet! ...or anything! 

•I feel lost today as I don't have a planner/plan for the week. I shouldn't have moved from my domino without having my Original ready to go. Noted! 

•This is my second year to no do Nanowrimo. :-( 

•I'm so freaking in love with my husband. My heart has that achy hurty happy feeling to it. I still find it strange that I feel so strongly after these three years. 

•I've lost 4lbs in the last month. Yay me! I am only watching my portions. Not really saying no to anything. 

•Birthdays are over. Thank goodness! Glad I have so many children to celebrate...but it kills our bank. Lol

•And lastly, a quote. 

Not sure of the source. Someone sent it to me via text. :-) -source, the Interweb. 

Wayword out!

Bento cheater!

I cheated and made frozen pizza rolls for bento. I understand that there's "rules" to bento and I didn't exactly break them except...my bento for today isn't super healthy. But it's better than fast food! 

The beeze

Here is my favorite bento box. I splurged a good amount of money for this sucker. However, another idea behind bento is that you love the person you're creating the food for...and I totally LOVE me. Lol 

It's a very sturdy box, it seals really well so things stay fresh inside. I don't refrigerate after I make my bentos. I have been really careful to wash all my food and pack meat/items that won't spoil at room temperature. This box is also microwaveable! Tote adorez that!! 

My lunch is peaches & blueberries, tomatoes to go with my bacon sandwich! And cheese, crackers and broccoli for a snack. 

It's a pretty big box. I have a hard time eating the whole thing in one sitting. 

Anyway! High Ho! 

Bento

I have also recently become obsessed with Bento Boxes. I have bought four in the last month.  

My plan is to get everyone in my house to have bento through the school year. 

This is one of my lunches from last week. Leftover sweet and sour meatballs with rice, pineapple chunks, tomatoes (from my garden), cucumber and red peppers. 

I love having a healthy lunch. The idea behind bento is a healthy diet. You pack a protein, carb(starch), fruit and veggies. 

A lot of bento is "pretty food". But it can be really practical and not that time consuming. 

So far it's been a wonderful treat to myself. :-) 

I'm toast!

Too many bad decisions! But it's never good to hop off the wagon for good. Even if you have fallen off a couple of times. I celebrated starting my diet with 2 apple cinnamon muffins and a kit kat bar. Now, even for a diabetic that's a bit much. Ya know? Keep on keeping on.
