THE DO LIFE CHALLENGE

*An Update on Week Three*

January 15 - 21

My photo challenges: (*warning* - some seriously goofy self portraits coming up)

1. Me holding my biggest excuse on a piece of paper while defeating the excuse.

Stress and Fatigue? I don't think so!

2. My super healthy grocery list.

Cashews, hummus, avocados, melon...

 3. Picture of me and a homemade smoothie.

Bunny Spice!

4. Picture of me in a plank or push up.  Outdoors.

Not technically outside but "outside" my apt.

 5. Screenshot of a walk/run this week.

Me and V spot walkin' in the cold!

And of course I continue with my January goals:

1. Exercise 4 to 5 times per week.

Yoga baby!  And well, that's it.  I wish I could do more exercise but I can't get it into my day or night.


2. Cook at least 3 healthful meals.

This week I made kale chips again!

First I mixed the cut-up kale in olive oil and salt.

Then I whipped up the sauce!

On the dehydrator they go.

One night this week I made a yummy meal out of warmed brussel sprouts, lentils and red pepper hummus:

Then last night I made another meal out of some cut veggies that were about to expire.  I cooked them in some olive oil and sea salt and then, put them over some lentils:

3. Read at least one GRE/Grad School book.

I am reading a couple of books right now, related to my graduate ambitions:

 And...

 And another for work purposes:

4. Juice 6 out of 7 days.

YES! Still doing the juice thing as much as possible.

5. Choose something to accomplish on my official TO-DO list.  Anything of my choice.

I am working SO hard to accomplish the items on my list and I think I am doing a decent job so far!
