They’re fancy. I have time. I devote it to food. Obviously.
And tea. Because there’s nothing like a hot cup of tea on a cold Sunday morning.
Want to know what’s inside my bowl?
- Rolled oats made with water and milk
- Pinches of cinnamon
- Flax seed ground in a used coffee grinder; that makes them coffee flax (yummm)
- Thinly slice banana
- Smucker’s Natural drippy peanut butter
The coffee flax really made the bowl. A little hint of coffee flavor from what was left in the grinder, plus a dose of fiber and omega-3’s from the flax. Just one tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains 2 grams fiber! Plus it’s a good source of omega-3’s which helps to reduce total and LDL cholesterol.
If you are thinking about adding flaxseed to your diet, make sure you grind it. A coffee grinder works great, or you can purchase the seeds already ground. Grinding allows your body to access all the good omega-3 oils that it otherwise couldn’t reach in a whole seed.
Happy eating!
30 Minutes Activity: Walking, my favorite pastime.

That means we have done at least 30 minutes of activity for 17 days in a row. Actually we have done it for 20 days in a row, because we started early. Just 43 more days until we reach our goal! In reality it should be just a lifetime more until we reach our goal (and maybe it will be).
It’s not getting easier. However, it is becoming more second nature. Every day I think about the best time to fit it in. I often stop and think about not wanting to do it. Then I push that thought aside and either go and do it or make the plan. I can now vouch that consistency and routines are helpful in accomplishing goals.
30+ Minutes Movement: Biggest Losers Bob, weight loss yoga. It’s tough. I really don’t like it while I’m doing it, but boy does it feel good later. It certainly pushes my limits, which means progress. So it’s all good!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
