Good Morning,

I just finished up my 4 mile walk and my 15 minutes on the weight machine.

Menu

breakfast-oatmeal juice

lunch- leftover from last night vegies and maybe another veggie burger and small salad

supper- salmon on a bed of lettuce,

snack trail mix

exercise- 4 mile walk and 15 minutes on the weight machine.

I am not feeling happy today, it just seems that, oh, never mind, I may do an extra workout to boost my endorphins.

I'm sorry you aren't feeling happy today, Audra. (((hugs)))

You are doing so well on your mission, I am proud of you. I wish I could say the same about myself

I'm going to do two things, right now, maybe they will help. I just put my pedometer on, and I am posting here. I need to start being here, really here, again, not just lurking.

I had oatmeal for breakfast, and will have some yogurt in a while. I bought a variety of winter squash at the farmer's market on the way home from up north, so I will bake one of those today (I did yesterday, as well), to have half with lunch, half with dinner. So, lunch will be that, plus some leftover spaghetti. Dinner is going to be turkey sausage, roasted potatoes, and a green veggie of some sort. I have to try to recut out the bad-for-me snacks (I've been on a cookie jones lately, sigh).
So, here I am. Again.

Good for you Jasmine, I wear my pedometer every day even if i inow that I am not going to do a formal exercise. Just having it on my hip reminds me that I have a mission, and while it does not prevent me from over eating nor does it make me exercise, it does make it harder for me to forget that I have a plan.

Come back when you get a chance and just check in. That is another way that I remind myself that I am trying to keep on mission. You really have done very good so far and I am happy that you have decided to get back into your mission. Some times it is hard to pick it back up when you put it down, but you can do it.

Hugs to you,

I will check in later if you need to talk.

well, I had my squash and my spaghetti for lunch. Today's variety of squash was "dumpling." It wasn't as tasty as yesterday's, which was sweet potato squash. I also have acorn, butternut (both of which I know I like), and buttercup. I bought smaller ones, knowing I would be the only one to eat them. I've been baking them with a scant teasthingy of brown sugar, a little bit of margarine, and a sprinkle of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. It's almost like having dessert.

I am finishing the other half of my yogurt now. I ate part of it before lunch.

Exercise, I don't know yet. I am planning on doing it, and it is certainly cool enough. I just haven't decided on the two mile or the three mile walk yet. I have a meeting to go to at school this evening. I'm going to bake the potatoes for a little while before we go so that they can finish baking while the sausage grills on the foreman.

Oh - I also have had 1/4 of a large-sized blueberry muffin today.

I will check in later. Hope everyone is having a good day.

5:51 PM

I did not do the 2nd work out> I think that I was feeling down because I was beginning to have a little sinus problems. It was not to the point at the time that I posted this morning that I knew that I was having that problem. About an hour after I posted I started having the pressure and weepy eyes and drainage, etc. I took some medicene but I never did feel up to doing more exercise.

I don't feel too bad about it because I did get the 4 mile this morning and the weight machine.

However I ate more than I should have, not that I ate bad but I had some okra and some squash and some yams. All of that was grilled with no added anything except for pam spray. But I did not feel satisfied so then I fixed a medium sized salad with some salmon on top. It was delicious. But was a lot more than I needed and now I am stuffed. And I feel so very guilty for eating so much.

No, I am not going to do that to myself. I might have eaten too much but it was not bad stuff, it was all healthy, and not high in calories.

My husband worked until 2 pm today and then came home showered off quickly and dressed for a funeral (the father of a friend of his) came back and dressed back in his work clothes and headed to adifferent job. He said he would not get home until about 9 PM. He is going to be so tired when he gets in.

I will check in later.

I have had a pretty good day. Not too awful. and I did exercise good. So I am satisfied with how things went today. Now I need to take some sinus medicene and go to bed and hope that tomorrow will be better.

Sleep well everyone

Talk to you tomorrow/
