Jamie is helping me through...

Hi Guys,

The face to face check in is approaching so I better get this off my chest now since I won't be there. For the last two weeks I have really fallen off the meditating/yoga/pranayama commitment. I just can't seem to get still enough to do it. I have had a tough couple of weeks so instead I've held on to the Jamie commitment and let cooking his awesome foods help me work through my stuff. I have to say that when I was rolling out the dough for the pie it was probably the most therapeutic I've ever found cooking to be. By the end, I felt amazingly better. Last night after serving the winter veg cole slaw (Jamie recipe) and herb crusted chicken (yummy bake shop purchase) I finally felt somehow relieved of the anger that has been hanging around me. This morning Owen woke up without the incessent neediness that's been driving me crazy and I was able to sit on the floor and just be with him. Lots of hugs and kisses flowed and I felt like wow we are on the other side of this bout with negative energy that had taken a hold of me and my household.

Jamie's Cricket Ball Squash
Acorn squash stuffed with sun dried tomatoes mixed w/ olive oil and spices baked for an hour and then served with arugula & goat cheese salad. Another Jamie homerun, super easy & delicious. Owen couldn't get enough which was fun to watch and now I finally know what to do with the acorn squash and arugula that come in the box during the winter.

Meditation, yoga, and pranayama have been just ok, I've gotten my meditations in but the yoga and pranayama have been harder.

Training started March 4th. Our first day when really well. It's just amazing that we are really doing this!

That's all for now.

Another Jamie recipe down...Tuna ceviche with salad shoots, herb cresses and a kinda yuzu dressing...off the hook good. The dressing is lime, grapefruit, and tangerine juice mixed with fried garlic & ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Ridiculous! I'm slowly but surely making my way through the winter section, out of 16 recipes i've made 6 so I have 10 more to complete before spring starts - woohoo!! I love this commitment :-)
