Muahahaha. Ha. Today I met a personal longstanding goal of mine. There was this little cardio kickboxing dvd that I never made it through. My attempts usually went something like this: turn it on after not working out for months, nearly upchuck after the warm up, turn off and never do it again. This time is different. I've been working out pretty regularly, eating decent portions, and drinking tons of water. So I gave it a go today...and completed it! And it was so much easier than I imagined. ::happy dance::
This week has been a little harder. It's been cold and rainy so I've not been walking as much. Also not been eating much raw because I need me some hot food when it's freaking cold and moist (bleh) out. But I am eating healthy and sticking to it.

Not Yo Cheeze Sauce (Gluten Free Version)
2 cups water
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/3 cup brown rice flour
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp mild chili powder
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt (more or less to taste)
2 Tbsp margarine
2 tsp brown deli mustard (stone ground works too but adds flecks of brown)
1/2 cup of your favorite red salsa
In a blender combine water, nutritional yeast, flour, garlic clove, and spices. Blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and heat on medium high, stirring frequently with a whisk. When thickened, remove from heat and stir in the margarine and mustard. Stir in the salsa and heat until warmed through. Makes about 3 cups.
More to come tomorrow or Friday.

Awesome, Mo! I'm totally impressed! I keep a food journal, too, and I find it super, super helpful--it keeps me honest. ;) Keep up the great work--one day at a time!

How do you like the Jillian Michaels kickboxing dvd? I just started the 30 day shred and it is great! Congrats on keeping up the healthy habits. :)
I've never successfully cooked millet. I feel like a bad cook for it even though no other grains ever give me trouble. What's your secret?
