It has been a couple of weeks since I last blogged. WOW, is all I can say. It has been a rough couple of weeks for the Bahr house. I got sick and was down for a week, then getting my emotions in order took me another week to balance. Sometimes when we are bombarded with to much negative issues  we need to deal with it's hard to keep upbeat and positive. This lady here needs some good news to come her way, all this bull-poopie I have been having to deal with has sucked major lemons and in turn it has made my weight loss journey a struggle. I dont want to struggle, I know this is a life change, but too much tough is not fun.

I am happy to that I did lose 1.4 pound this week, it has made me super happy. SO CLOSE TO 50 POUNDS LOSS, I CAN ALMOST TASTE IT!!! I really want to make the 50 pound loss before my birthday in June...I know I can do it, I know I can, I know I can....

I am super excited that I booked my Mother's Day gift that I got from the kids...SPA day here I come!!! facial, massage...this mommy is looking forward to this delightful day of pampering. Thank you Honey for such a special treat, I have not had a facial since I lived in California...SOOO EXCITED!!!!

My challenge for myself is to keep walking...and make sure I get all my water in since it has been such a hot dry Canadian summer so far. Water is sometimes hard to get in, I forget that I am thirsty until I am bone dry, but we all need it, it's so good for us. I was outside yesterday and I looked over at my tomato plants and they looked so sad, they reminded me that thirst is not good for any living thing. So, I am going try and keep hydrated.

I also wanted to share something I fell in love with this week. I have been reading about kale chips all over the place, so I wanted to try and make them. Can I tell you...SUPER YUMO!!! I love them ♥ I used spray pam instead of oil and they turned out awesome. You take a head of kale, and rip the leaved into big bite size pieces, wash them and then pat them dry. Lay them out on a cookie sheet spray lightly with spray pam and salt to taste, bake them for 10-12 minutes at 350F. They turn out light and super crispy. One some of mine I sprinkled some hemp hearts on them, so good.
My husband tells me he does not like them but he keeps eating them. I asked why he eats them if he does not care for them, his response was "I want to like them, they are healthy for you" HA HA HA, I love it.


If you try these I hope you like them, remember to season them with stuff you would like. It is healthy and good for you.

Take care and have a blessed week y'all
