Cheeseburger Salad

If I were asked to name a favorite food, I would say cheeseburgers without hesitation. There is just something about ground beef, smothered with cheese that makes my mouth water. But, since I'm trying to lose a few pounds, I've been cutting out carbs where I can, which makes eating my favorite food harder than usual.

I have a good friend who eats Five Guy's bunless burgers somewhat regularly, and was inspired. It's simple enough, that even I could make this!

This can of course be tailored however you want, but this is how I like to make it.

1 small head of romaine lettuce
1/4 pound of ground beef
1/4 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese
5 halved grape tomatoes
1 tablespoon dill pickles salad cubes
red onion to taste
Thousand Island dressing to taste

Something I'm also trying is to get more involved in things that I'm interested in. For example, I enjoy yoga. But, in the past, if someone had asked me to tell them about yoga and practice, I would have told them, "Well... I do a 30 minute at home practice a couple of days a week?" I think I can go deeper in life, relationships, my thoughts, and my interests. Hence... I looked up the history of yoga and some common yoga terms that I should be familiar with. Asanas ("seat") (ah-sahn-ah) : Physical postures of yoga. Chakra: energy center; the basic system has seven chakras (root, sacrum, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown), each of which is associated with a color, element, syllable, significance, etc. Dharma: truth; the teaching...

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something. In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are. Remember you are not alone. Struggling is a part of being human. Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have. Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better. You are better today, than you were yesterday. Just keep going! Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.
