Week 52 Weigh in

Image
Today, I want to let you into one of my favorite recipes, so simple yet so exciting to the taste buds. My sister called it "yam pepper soup" to me it's my go to meal to heal and to celebrate. Ingredients   - 3 habanero or scotch bonnet pepper - Spices of choice at least 4 to your taste (I love my soup chilli and spicy) - Protein 2 cups or as desired  (in small pieces includes and not limited to beef, chicken, oxtail - ponmon, tofu, fish - dried, iced or fresh. I have never used any plant protein except tofu) - 1 cup diced yams - 1 medium ball of onion  - Scent leaves, 4 tbs shredded  - Seasonings and salt to taste  - 3 cups water You could alter the measurements to suit your taste.

Week 51 Weigh-in: Don't Give up

This post is actually short and subtly pleading with myself not to give up. I think I am attending to too many things at the same time and somehow it's taking a toll on my emotions. This week happen to be our wedding anniversary and I was elated by the way we were celebrated and for me to close the day immersing in the joy of the past years was a no-no because there was just too much to take care of  around me [I don't want to complain because it's a duty]. I am sorry but this post is actually a ranting post. 

Week 49 - 50 Weigh-in: FEEDBACK, NOT FAILURE

All news is good news. Imagine walking on a rocky surface — maybe a beach, or a dry creek bed, or a hiking trail. Some of the stones are stable and solid. If you step on them, they don’t move. Some of the stones aren’t stable. They wiggle or tip when you step on them. With every step you take, you are getting feedback about the path. And you can use that immediate feedback to correct course as needed. If you step on a rock, and it shifts, did you fail? No. You just got important information about the next thing to do — try another rock. You got feedback......... Feedback is just information It's data that you can use to make a decision. Imagine yourself in a gym...... If you feel yourself leaning too much to one side, or losing your grip on a weight, or losing your balance, you take action to correct that. Same as with your eating habits If you notice that pizza seem to make you overeat, or make you feel sick, then you make a decision about whether to keep that pizza around.
