First day is good, not the best but still good

First day on crutches


Getting around is not as bad, still annoyed when I got home.  I need to just chill out and feel the need to clean every crumb right away.  Nothing bad is gonna happen.


Did some core workout in the morning and will do a little more later.


Baked a soda bread!!  That recipe is so darn delicious and so easy!!


1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour (I used 1cup WW + 1/4C oat bran + 1/4C chickpea flour + 1/4C mix of almond meal/flax seed meal/peanut flour)
1/2 cup oatmeal (ground) (Didn't grind)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt (More like 1tsp)
1 cup buttermilk, plus a tablespoon or more if needed to moisten all flour (3/4 cup yogurt + 1/4 cup milk)
Mixed in fennel seeds, sesame seeds and chia seeds


Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease or spray a small baking sheet with nonstick spray or oil.

And I especially feel for these two things:


2. Give up your need for control. Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.


4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk. Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.
“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle
It's OK to have negative feelings but don't make the feelings even more negative by beating yourself up for it!  Love yourself and just allow yourself to be happy!  Live on Wendy! :D
