| Reflections. Denver Botanic Gardens. 5/18/15 |
The trip to Colorado has been fun-filled, spiritual and reflective. I did not every minute like in the past. I'm just going with the flow. It's been hard at times with my total controlling ways yet in the end it always feels good, something good comes out of the day. Peaceful.
Don't get me wrong, I had a general idea about what I wanted to view what I want to view but just took it day by day based on the feel of the day. HUGE for me and LOVELY too. I'm happy.

MEALS
I truly had the best time creating meals for my God Kids. They questioned my cooking and were pleasantly surprised with the taste and feel. It was a great moment when they each told me how much they liked the salad and wraps. They asked me to be sure to email them the recipes. I said I'd send them pointers when I got home. Nice to expose them to new things. I hope they also go in search of some of these recipes and foods on their own.
The nitty gritty, I've had it all with moderation. I balance as much as I can and order veggies and fruit when possible. The only day I let loose was Wednesday for lunch. I had BBQ with all the fixins, cole slaw, baked beans, potato salad, French fries and corn bread. Oh my GAH, it was delicious BUT I had half portions or quarter portions of each. I ate slowly and bit every single bite DOWN! When I was mid-full I stopped. Then we walked and walked and walked until it felt all right. The next meal Salad and Chili. The portion was great. The salad tower became this full lovely salad ( A LOT OF ARUGULA!) and my heart was content. Eating clean will be key for the rest of my trip. My stomach is already feeling the effects of the "Q" so it's telling me, "hey stop that!". I'm listening. But here I go again, eating the "ouch so painful burger! Until, I took a bite and said no more. I looked down and I had eaten about a quarter. Then I reached for the salad. The best part, today was Jose's formal dinner romantic celebration. Well, we decided to opt out on the big meal and take a stroll through the Garden of the God's during this lovely clear night. Oh, and plenty of water.
Tomorrow we start with a nice fresh meal.
EXERCISE
I've maintained as active as possible. Going for walks, strolls, hikes, using the fitness rooms at the hotels. I even took a Kettle Ball class, which has me extremely sore, but it feels great! I stretch throughout my days and breathe deep to take it all in. Truly Beautiful.
SOUL
CONTENT. ESTATIC. CALM. JOYFUL. PLAYFUL. WITH MUCH MUCH FIRE. O SEA, PASSION. Thank you world.
Now I have to keep on going so I have to go!!
To many fulfilling days. To many fulfilling moments.
Yes Life I Remain Coachable!
Enjoy!
