FRUIT
So I am writing this because one of my buddies made the cool choice to write a blog instead of eating mindlessly and I think that is just so great. So, last night I did not chose sweets after supper, but rather I read blogs, ate some mini mandarin oranges (I guessed 6 was a serving once peeled) and watched the Oilers win, YAH. I really, really, really wanted to eat something and was a little hungry so later in the evening, I had 2 cups of air popped popcorn.

Anyways, these mini mandarin oranges are so AMAZING and can you believe they are about an inch and a half wide. SO CUTE!
I love all fruit nearly equally though I am not the biggest fan of most melons. Good on occasion though. I guess I love berries and fresh pineapple the best.
And Saskatoon berries in a pie are just HEAVEN. LOL… no pie right now. I know it is not the most ideal thing to see food as a reward, but sometime before this year ends, I would like a piece of this pie. OOH ooh, I know, the next person to tell me this year that I have lost too much weight will have to buy me a piece of Saskatoon Yum! Ok, I may have to just treat myself! Dieter’s Power! Like Girl Power, but I am in just the best place in a long time with diet. I know things will just happen when they happen. And I am ok with slow, because my overall form will look better as I do not rush it. Ok, I wrote about it and it is done. The pie fantasy is out of me. *wink* (I fully recognize that this was NO fantasy. I do not want to temp others, so it was in my head, a talk briefly about it and BAM, done.

What is your favorite fruit?
Jo, did you get your 2 servings of fruit in???
Yesterday I had a banana, prunes and mini mandarin oranges. I count my tomato as a veg, but I guess it is a fruit.
Happy munching on that sweet juicy piece of fruit that’s just dying for you to savor it’s delightful nutients. What a terrific way to give your body energy and life!
Little tiff last night with my sweetie over the fur child, so today I am really going to think only positive. I love myself today and ALL thoughts and choices will reflect my desire to choose Happiness. I am looking at the big picture and not the tiny unimportant things. I know that one way I can chose to love myself is giving myself fruits and veggies. If I am doing this then I will be less likely to eat senselessly. So….. here goes… Breakfast, workout and studying…..
On this Rememberance Day, my prayers go out to family of military personel and soldiers serving their countries and also I remember the past soldiers who have fought for what I have in this society. May peace come to us all someday….
Beautiful picture of the poppies.
My all time fav fruit is raw whole bing cherry. I could sit and eat them by the handfuls. I have yet to see anyone beat me in a pit spittin contest either. HA!
Now Jennifer, I think you have lost too much weight. I guess now I’m going to have to come up there and bring you a Saskatoon berry pie. *blissful sigh* hehe…
Big hugsssssss to you today. WE ROCK!
Shan
My favorite had to beeeeee…. Peaches. Strawberries, blueberries and mangoes. Yup have more than one!
Lol, you and Shan enjoy that pie!
BTW, I love it, you have “fur” kids like we do
Yummm
Great choices you made
Oh I have some saskatoons in the freezer right now.
They are delish in muffins too but you can’t really beat a saskatoon pie.
I loooooooove your blog!! I looooooove your blog and the photos too!! And yes Jenn, I did eat my two pieces of fruit—one orange and one pear! Today I plan on doing the same!! I also was feeling hungry like you were last night—it sucks because it’s counterproductive to our efforts, but well, we must deal with it….sometimes I wonder if we SHOULD eat, maybe our bodies really need the extra fuel, but instead, I drank a tall glass of cold water and called it a night!!
So why did you and David have a tiff over Oscar?? Tell David to go put a sock in it, Oscar can do no wrong!! LOL!! I’m kidding, don’t tell David that, I am just being silly—I am sure David loooooooves Oscar and he was just having a moment!! I know men tend to be like that, my dad for example, will complain when our pup would do something wrong, like destroy a teddy bear and leave the stuffing ALL over the house—but God forbid we even raise our voice a little bit because he jumped the fenced or he went outside—my dad is the first line of defense!! So men are just funny that way. Hubby is the same, when our pup pees somewhere he is not supposed to, he complains, but when the pup got really ill a few years ago, hubby was crying like a little girl!! So don’t sweat it!! Men and furry little things are funny that way!! LOL!!
Anyway….I wanted to tell you that I am taking an Intro to Yoga class on Sundays!! I suck at it, but I think of you all the time!! Eventually I would like to move up to this yoga core class! My breathing and my posture are horrible, but I was better the second time than the first, so my hope is that I will get better—-I will keep you posted!!!
And, I am also reading Intuitive Eating—so thanks for talking about it!!
See Jenn? You are definitely a very positive influence in my life!!!
