It's Whats For Dinner

Mushroom Risotto with spinach and salsa.
Ten years ago, when I was losing weight with Mercy Weight Mgt and HMR products, one of my favorite dinners was their Mushroom Risotto. I was so excited when I saw that NutriSystem had included their Mushroom Risotto in the Turbo Start box.

Today as my sixth dinner, I cooked a couple of cups of baby spinach, Mushroom Risotto and topped it with Chi Chi's Salsa.  Just like I learned how to like it so many years ago.  It was delicious and more importantly, filling.  The dinner in the photo is less than 300 calories!

I'm really starting to feel better and am glad I chose to do this for myself.  I know that a pre-packaged food plan works for me.  The cost will keep me true as I cannot waste this kind of money.

Speaking of money, I just found out that Costco sells Nutrisytem gift cards AND they are on sale until tomorrow:  $100 card for $55 (usually $79) I bought some for myself so next month's food order cost will nearly be cut in half!  Win Win!

Mid Life ... Crisis or Not

Image
As I mentioned yesterday, perhaps I'm in a midlife crisis.  I've been reading several articles and blogs:  The Midlife Crisis ,  10 Signs , and  Is it Real?  to name a few.  So I've decided, I am in a crisis and it is in the middle of my life.  But I'm not going to buy anything elaborate --- except maybe that trip to Ireland I'm planning this year.  I've been overly stressed and overwhelmed. I've been worried about my health and well being and I do feel inadequate in both my family and professional life though and that bothers me.  Nothing really has changed except my perception.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  It's all me and how I look at things. And then I don't believe myself --- which causes a crisis!  UGH!

Movie Night

Image
It's family movie night at our house.  We just finished watching Earth to ECHO , a movie none of us had seen before. I liked it.  It was Sandlot ish... about a group of childhood friends, solving a problem and becoming better friends because of it.  It also reminded me of the Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Flight of the Navigator , or  ET as the plot envolved children and space creatures or aliens. Next up is Big Hero 6 which we saw in the movie theatre and I wrote about in November.  I hope I can stay awake til the end. After that, they may watch The Book of Life but I'm sure I'll be asleep by then.  I love movie nightA

Just Laugh

Image
I think the best people in the world are those that can laugh at themselves.  Laughing is good for the soul.  It's healthy.  It's contagious.  It makes me smile just writing about it. During the month of April, our school is focusing on the life skill of having a sense of humor.  Making light of situations is a great way to cope with the things you are going through.  And if you can find a way to laugh at it, the situation may not get you down. I am blessed to find the good and to especially find the humor in the awkward and sometimes painful situations I have lived through in my life's journey.
