Day #7, Sun. 7/8

WoW!  Has it been a week already since I started this "Back on Track" Style of eating?  I'm really enjoying the Smoothies and I'm incorporating exercise back into my routine, too.  baby steps . . . inch by inch, step by step!  Remember you've got to start somewhere! :-)

For today's smoothie I combined cucumber, blueberries, raspberries, a pear, one stalk of celery (really can taste that in the smoothie), about 4 oz. of filters water, organic spinach and baby romaine and about 5 ice cubes. I blended everything and put the greens in last.  I had a hard boiled egg and a garlic cheese sausage on the side. Oh and I ate a banana while making the smoothie.  I must say I would NEVER eat this much fruit/veggies/greens at breakfast if I were not having my smoothies. I'm starting to feel the difference in my energy level, too. At first I was feeling a little sluggish, but it changed about day #5 or 6.

Now I'm off to the studio to unpack some of the things I came across while cleaning at home and also to fit in a short workout. Have a great day!



That breakfast at 10:30 a.m. held me through late afternoon.  I had a late lunch at 4ish and that will probably do it except for an apple or a dish of ice cream (the ice cream won out!) I've decided to only do dessert on Saturdays and Sundays or twice a week if I have a special event in that week. That way I'll have something to look forward to!

I heated up my leftover chicken and sautéed peppers, made my favorite cottage cheese and pineapple salad and had a glass of filtered water. 

Drank the leftover smoothie (about 8 oz.) around 8 p.m. as a snack.

Day #8, Mon. 7/9

Well I am bound to have one of this days! My friend Eric, who owns and runs 'Evolution 180' in L.A., is a lean, mean (and I mean that in the nicest way) machine. I have to say that he is THE BEST personal trainer I have ever met!  He practices what he preaches. He eats clean for 5 days, fasts for a day and then eats whatever he wants for a day.  So I would have to say that Day #8 was my "eat what I want kind of day." But getting back to Eric. . . Back in February 2011 he came to Boston for the Celtics-Lakers game.  Eric had never been to the Right Coast and it just happened that we were having one of our coldest, snowiest winters EVAH!  He arrived on the red eye and came up to NH to catch a few hours of sleep before I dragged him around Boston. The snow piles in our yard were over his head and his comment was, "Do people live here voluntarily?" I gave him the full Boston experience. We drove to Sullivan Square and took The T into Boston. We went ...

And just like that . . . 2022 is a Wrap!

It's been a busy 2022 for me & Bev Tabet Photography ! January was spent watching the Celtics, photographing my food 😂and frozen bubbles and attending the NHSPA Photography Show at the Exeter Town Hall Gallery. February was low key with more Celtics games, day knitting and Alpha Xi Sista ZOOMs. I did manage to get out of Dodge in March with a few days in Hull with my Alpha Xi roomie as we took the spectator boat for the Hull Snow Row. Got some great photos including some of rowers from the New Bedford Area. That was followed by a 5-day visit to Ocean Point, Maine with Joan Libby. Both are always a fun time!  I took a little solo 68th birthday trip in April to Sheepscot Harbour Village in Edgecomb, Maine and got to go to my favorite Pemaquid Lighthouse and also Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse for some stormy images. I also got a taste of Spring at the Cider Hill Farm Tulip Fest in Amesbury, MA.   In May I returned to Cider Hill Farm for pick-your-own tulips, photographe...

Day #12 Part 1, Fri. 7/13

Friday the 13th was an AWESOME day! Started the early day off with a Chobani raspberry yogurt before taking the 7:04 Amtrak Downeaster to Boston for my PhotoWalks Tour of the Boston waterfront. Packed some water because it was going to be a hot one! Got into North Station around 8:20 and my tour wasn't until 10.  I just HAD to have a few last photos taken with Ray Allen in the TD Garden before they take him down! I had plenty of time to get to the Old State House Museum to meet for the tour so I walked over to Quincy Market and then up to State & Washington Streets. There was a sweet man sitting on the bench with his dog playing some sort of French percussion instrument. He had a little dog on the bench next to him .  I asked if I could take some photos of him and he gladly obliged.  I told him about the upcoming Hearts & Hands Show and he asked if the doggie's paw counted! :-)  I took several photos and then Saba, the tour leader arrived. There w...
