Happy Thursday all
Already did a lot of exercise and it is only 7:20 a.m. Got a few pieces of equipment out that I haven't use for a while to mix it up a bit. Using my Body Blades and my Body Bar to do resistance work on my arms and to whittle the bit of flab on the waistline. I will do the Ab Coaster before I start to get ready for work and walk at least an hour or more while shopping, not that that is terribly exhausting. I did tuck a shirt into my dress slacks yesterday and wear a belt - no jacket at all, so that's progress.
Won't be eating breakfast, will eat lunch with friends, they get to choose where to eat as I only eat a salad or side anyway. What is amazing is how much fewer groceries I need to buy, no snack foods or candy or anything like that. Will get some more fruits and veggies tho! The Athena cantaloupe is on sale again 2/3 bucks, they were amazing last week.
Back from lunch and shopping, had a great time. Got a wonderful compliment today, not how good I look or anything like that but someone said, I wish I was as fit as you are.
Exactly what I am trying to be. There was a big canvas type bag full of products, etc. that a vendor was unloading in an aisle at the grocery store, the vendor had stepped away and we needed to get to something the bag was blocking. So I picked it up and moved it a few feet. It probably weighed fifty pounds (about the weight of a bale of hay is how I compare it). No problem. I didn't even think about it but my friend is very frail and to her it was a big deal.
More encouragement to continue the healthy eating. and weight bearing exercise. I used to be a Department Head in a nursing home/ assisted living facility - worked in the office and saw the admittance reports. A vast majority enter these facilities due to a broken bone (hip, pelvis,shoulder, etc) .
Had a veggie burger with the works and a few oven baked fries (with the peeling on) for lunch. Drank unsweetened tea. Was offered deep fried banana with real whipped cream and caramel sauce for dessert but declined, virtual plated and had a sugar free Jello caramel pudding cup with Cool Whip LIte, slivered almonds and a cherry on top when I got home.
Bought lots and lots of goodies in the store, panicked because I couldn't find my veggie/Boca burger section but they had just moved it. I got four boxes
Having dinner now, found two pieces of veggie pizza in the fridge that I forgot about from the other night so I warmed them up and am having them with my salad while I browse the board. Funny thing happened earlier, I was giving the hubby a couple of cheeseburgers (small ones) I picked up for him while I was out, he said he would take a few potato chips. I opened the bag and took one out and tasted it to see how fresh they were (since I quit gorging the snacks have lasted a L O N G time). I bit into one and said eww, do these taste all right? He said, Let me see. He then said they tasted fine to him, what did they taste like to me. I said, sorta like a chemical. Isn't that funny, I guess my taste buds are starting to reject the phony foods a bit.
I might have cantaloupe later when he comes in from mowing and eats his dinner, whatever that might be. He never wants to eat very much when he is working in the heat. Probably a salad or maybe just fruit.
Got in extra exercise and will probably do some more AbCoaster, I really like the way it feels.
) before I stopped. Now I eat one and that is enough. Same with tortilla chips or something, I used to pour a bunch in a bowl, add some salsa or cheese or sour cream (or all three) - mind you this wasn't dinner, just a snack. Last time I ate chips, I got two out of the bag and ate them. I got the taste of them so it was enough. 
Oh wait, I just made up that last one. 
), part of a baked potato, a dinner roll and a fruit dish. It wasn't an N meal but I enjoyed every bite.
