Day 5-Last Power Word: Accept

Today the word is accept and I have been hearing that word lately in various settings.  For example:  don’t resist, find contentment and basically accept the place you are in.  I am working on this on many levels.

For one thing, I am accepting my new food menu.  Today started with the delicious Muesli I made last night.  It was a great way to start the day and was fresh and gave me a lot of energy.

Yummy breakfast!

I made a special lunch of a corn tortilla with a slice of turkey and slices of organic, raw milk cheese which I put under the broiler for just a few minutes.  I added a touch of salsa and…fantastic!  unfortunately Charlie was in the kitchen with me, so no picture.  I think I have found a solution to that though,  tonight I gave him a bite of chicken right after snapping a picture and he seems content.

Dinner was a fresh green salad topped with broiled chicken which was just perfect after my 30 minute run/walk at the gym.

I just had to try the recipe for peanut butter banana muffins and they were yummy.  I added the cacao bits for an extra treat.  It is nice to know I can have some treats.  I ate it with raspberries, boysenberries and strawberries.

I am going to work on accepting where I am and really try to be open to opportunities and change.  Change is not always a bad thing, it can lead to something positive.  It is time to stop resisting and to accept where I am in my life now.  This also means accepting those in my life for who they are and trying to stop attempting to change the habits of others.  That’s a tricky one, but I am going to give it a shot.  Wish me luck!
