I had my usual green smoothie for breakfast, then started in on chopping up ingredients for the salad I'm serving with dinner - we are probably 'bbqing' with the neighbors later. In the meantime we headed out to lunch, and I wore some blue jean shorts that were too tight a month ago. I could put them on, but not really do more than strut around with my stomach held in tight. Today I wore them sitting through lunch (veggie enchiladas with Cheat at a restaurant) and now I am still wearing them sitting at the computer and in no rush to change into stretchy shorts! Whoo hoo. I guess I've written that little expression of triumph more than once in the last few months, but hey, it's how I feel! The shorts are still a bit tight, but I can now sit and breathe at the same time.
I made a wonderful macaroni salad this morning using brown rice noodles (gluten free) and loaded it up with finely diced kale, jalapeno stuffed green olives, diced sun dried tomatoes, diced red peppers, green onions and cauliflower. The dressing is Vegenaise with celery seed and vinegar and lots of pepper. Oh, and some diced cilantro for a burst of freshness - I like using that much better than parsley.
I'm off to cut up a fresh pineapple and enjoy family for dinner. And yes, I will use Cheat on my macaroni salad :) (picture to follow)
