let me know how it goes!
bizi:)

I will. :) Might be a while though as I'm not having any hard liquor just now.

My weight is fluctuating so much. When we came back from the beach it went up to 157!!!
I about had a cow.
This morning it is down to 152 still higher than before the weekend. So need to be careful with my food intake. Had one "beer" last night the remaining one. Jeff asked me if I wanted him to get me more, I hesitated and him/hawed then said no. I was happy with that.
Started off the morning with a kale, blueberry, milk, protein powder, tumeric (may decrease inflamation) and maca powder http://www.vegkitchen.com/nutrition/...efits-of-maca/ ) and an indian blend of spices. Good, getting used to these new flavors.

The indian spice mix is called:
Kapha Surya Spice Blend
According to Ayurveda, a balanced diet contains all six tastes, sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent, at every meal. Surya Spice Blends are delicious mixes of herbs and spices lovingly crafted for you to easily enjoy these balancing flavors in your diet.
Kapha Surya Spice Blend - A delicious spicy blend of superior quality coriander, ginger, mustard, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne; designed to invigorate a Kapha mind-body type.
I bought it from the www.chopra.com if anyone is interested in learning about Ayurveda.

These are their recommendations to improve my kapha tendencies:

Body

Take a yoga class to connect to your body and invoke your natural energy
Perform a vigorous daily self massage with Invigorating herbalized oil
Take deep breaths throughout the day
Favor spicy foods with a predominance of pungent, bitter, and astringent tastes
Walk 5-15 minutes after eating to aid digestion
Drink Invigorating Tea
Put your full attention on your meals when eating

Mind

Meditate twice a day to clear the mind and rejuvenate the body
Wear invigorating fragrances
Listen to up-beat sounds to invoke your natural energy
Organize the clutter in your environment – your outer world reflects your inner world
Awaken at sunrise and create an invigorating morning routine
Diffuse invigorating fragrances into your environment
Favor bright, strong, bold colors with vivid shapes and designs
Look for opportunities to be more spontaneous
Embrace uncertainty

went to a wine tasting at the local spirits store for a few samplings then had 2 beers over the course of the evening. pretty moderate.
happy about that.
I bought some chia seeds to add to my smoothies.

I added 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to my smoothie this morning.
They are high in fiber!

First, let’s talk benefits! Chia seeds are loaded with good-for-you nutrients, like…
Fiber Just one ounce of chia seeds has 11 grams of fiber! That’s almost a third of the recommended daily intake of fiber in one small serving. Tossing chia seeds onto a snack is an easy way to help make sure you’re maintaining your digestive health.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids Omega 3 fatty acids are important for brain health and help to reduce your risk for heart disease. A one-ounce serving of chia boasts 5 grams of Omega 3. That’s definitely a good thing, since our bodies can’t produce these fatty acids and we have to find it in outside sources.
Calcium One serving of chia seeds has almost 18% of your recommended daily intake of calcium. Whether you are going dairy-free and looking for alternative calcium sources, or just concerned about osteoporosis, chia can definitely help up your intake.
Protein A great source of cholesterol-free protein, one ounce of chia seeds has about 4 grams of protein. That’s almost 10 percent of the recommended daily intake!

Yes, Chia seeds have omega 3.

Quote:

.Chia seeds and flaxseeds contain roughly comparable amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, and serve as excellent sources of these healthy fats.
