A Good Sunday

It was a pretty great Sunday.

I figured out what to do with all the garden tomatillos - I made chicken Verde enchiladas. They were very good and I was pleased that I ate a small serving and didn't desire more. I usually find it easy to overeat Mexican food. 
 
I didn't exercise today; I don't exercise on Sundays. Generally, my Saturday/Sundays are all over the place. Hubby likes to spend our weekends together and I happen to agree it is important couple/family time. Because exercising is new to me, I tend to overthink the entire process - my brain won't relax until after get in my exercise time. So, instead of worrying about the issue (exercising) on Sundays, I plan on just focusing on my hubby and kid.

It's all about balance.
 
Sometimes, I'm not great at finding balance in life. I tend to completely withdraw or completely throw myself in. Just like I am mindful of my eating, I want to be mindful of my exercising. There is a happy medium in all of this - I just have to find what works for me and my family (because they are sharing this journey with me).

Peanut Butter Granola
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Melt peanut butter and honey in microwave for just a few seconds (until you can blend them together). Add vanilla, cinnamon, and oatmeal. Place on cookie sheet (covered w/parchment paper or cooking spray) and bake @325, for about 8 minutes until browned. 


Thanks to Pinterest for the recipe.
