Angel's Quest #3 - March Update


I am not able to make a video right now but I just wanted to do my update. My mother has been in the hospital since Friday but Praise God was finally released yesterday evening and is now recovering at home. It's been a stressful and scary few days. Updating wasn't first priority so that's why this is late.
Well, I weighed 364 which means I lost 1lb this past month BUT I made the mistake of weighing again yesterday and it showed that 1lb back. So net loss- zero. :( BUT it's been a stressful month and I am sure I could have added pounds easily so I am grateful to even stay the same. We have been eating at home more which I know has helped both our budget and to keep from gaining but we still need to improve on that.
One thing I really need to step up my effort is sugar - especially chocolate. I thought about getting the ingred to make raw brownies again and using them to replace that chocolate snack habit.
Also, I have greens, I have fruit, and I have a vitamix- WHAT is holding me back from whipping up a green smoothie?!
Goals for March-
START drinking Green Smoothies again- maybe not daily but at least once a week.
STOP running to Hershey's.
REMIND myself that even if it's healthier homemade food- I still need to watch my portions.
I will be sure to make an April video but I'm not making one for March. I'm just too beat.
Thanks for the support
Angel

  1. Thank you for updating us Angel! Thank the Lord that your mom is recovering.
    Weight is a fickle thing, you could weigh 3 days in a row and it be different each time. Be proud that you didn't gain and that you survived February!
    I have to say February is the worst month of the year for many people. I always have a horrible month in February, everything just seems way worse than it is. Funny how March 1st and the sun being up earlier just gives a whole new outlook on life.
    I've been doing smoothies every morning for breakfast I use skim milk, chocolate protein powder, frozen mango and strawberries. I must say it's surprisingly filling and stays with me longer.
    I look forward to your next video!

    God Bless!!

    Hi Angel!

    I just became a fan of a really exciting page on facebook and I wanted to share!

    It's called, "Raw Vegan Recipe Exchange" and it's awesome.

    Please sign up on facebook and join all the rest of us trying to eat as healthy as we can. There's a huge raw community and you can pick and choose which places you want updates from and what places you want to be a fan of.

    It's really been a great experience for me!

    Once you do (sign up, that is) please let me know under what name, k? So I can send you a friend request. I don't use my real name cuz of my former spouse.

    Take care, Christine
