Good Eats

Filed under: Food,Health/ Fitness,Things I Love — gardener @ 10:37 am

This is one of my favorite sandwiches. I made it a few weeks ago because I was craving one so bad. It’s generally something that I eat in the warmer months, but I had some grape tomatoes (something that tastes great year round), a little avocado and smoked chicken tha I needed to use, so I decided to whip one up. I added a little lot of black pepper and a smidge of stone-ground mustard and that was it. Deeee-lish and healthy as well.

I mentioned earlier in the week that I’d started a new blog a while back about health-fitness and my journey to a healthier me. I’ll be sharing that link again with y’all in the next couple of days. I’m trying to come up with some sort of structure instead of randomly writing since it themed towards my health and losing weight, but I’m excited about being able to hold myself accountable in that way.

Simple Amusements

Filed under: Life,Techy — gardener @ 10:35 am

About once a month (sometimes more), I go through all my email addresses and delete mail that I no longer need. I have a really bad habit of keeping mail even after reading it, so one of my goals this year was to stop doing that and keep my inbox ‘clutter-free’. When I go through the mail, I also go through my spam folders to make sure that nothing has ended up in the wrong place and then I delete the spam. It never ceases to amaze me at just how many natural male enhancement emails I have, and how they are certain they can help me enhance my manhood. I wonder what they would think if they knew that I didn’t have any manhood to enhance? I know- I know. It’s the little things that tend to amuse me and yes, this is one of those.

Blank Canvas

Filed under: Food for Thought,Inspiration,Life,Things I Love — gardener @ 10:31 am

I was looking at the blank canvas this morning and thinking about what I’d like to paint. Since I had to be somewhere, I ended up not going through the motions of pulling out everything, only to have to put it away again a half hour later. When I want to paint, I want to be able to do so without having to think about being rushed.

I ran my errands with Marcel, came home and decided to go through my shoes. I’ve needed to for a while and I ended up throwing away two pair and putting aside about 6 other pair that I never wear and will give to the thrift shop. While I was sitting in the middle of the floor, I couldn’t help but think about how life is like that canvas.

Our lives are a canvas- a flowing tapestry that is sometimes colorful and sometimes dark. Ultimately how we paint it is entirely up to us.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Filed under: Food,Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 9:32 am

I know I’ve mentioned that I’m back on track with my health and fitness routine as of this week. I’m pretty excited about it and am also feeling better knowing that I’m holding myself accountable by tracking my calories. I’m not back into the swing of things full-force with working out, but that’s coming. I’m putting together a plan and even considering a muscle building supplement to help me build lean muscle mass, which will in turn burn more calories allowing me to lose more fat. I’m still doing the research, but I’m looking forward to reaching my goal this year!
