Good Morning

I think I am going to take a break from the morning exercise today. I have been very diligent about exzercising every morning for a long time and I think it is time to givew my body a little rest time. I am still going to eat correctly. And this afternoon if dh is not still tired from the overtime everyday (he is exhausted)then we will go for a 2 mile walk and I might see if I can push for a little bit longer than two miles.

I had so many hot flashes all night long I was miserable. I am glad that this only happens occasionally or i would have to see my dr. to get some sort of hormone to ease them. Usually I have about 2 days a month of hot flashes and then I don't have any for a while.

I am going to get groceries this morning, (can i count that as my morning workout?) Then come back and just chill for a little while. Then I think we are going to dds and sil's house for a short visit and have an early supper with them.

Right before I woke up this morning I was dreaming thea I had went for a walk and I got lost. I found my way to a little country restaurant that was way back in the woods with no other establishment around it. cars would come up to the window and get there food and then leave. There was no inside dining area.

I was wandering inside trying to get the people to give me some food and no one would even look at me.it was like I was not there. But I was starving and I kept saying please let me call my husband he will come get me and he will pay for anything I eat. Nobody would listen. Maybe it was my subconsciious telling me to always carry money with me when I go out walking just in case I get lost.

Of course it would not have done me anygood since I could not get them to hear me.

Menu for the day

breakfast-cereal

lunch -salad

supper -don't know yet Might eat at dd's house and she has not told me what she is planning to have.

I will check in later

Have a good day every one.

Jasmine I missed you yesterday. I hope all is well with you and yours.

Audra, I think it is nice for you to take a break, especially since you have been doing such a tremendous job with it for so long! I think, though, that grocery shopping counts for something. If I remember correctly, you burn 400 cals per hour doing grocery shopping. And then there is the walking... I took the girls grocery shopping yesterday, to two different stores, and when I got home, I had walked just shy of four miles in the process of doing my shopping (according to my pedometer, anyway).

Sorry I didn't get here yesterday. The girls and I left to do our shopping right after breakfast, and didn't get home until after lunch. Then I had 45 minutes to get ready to go to a wedding. Didn't get home from that until nearly 10pm, and I was tired out! Speaking of lunch yesterday, I had a hamburger and fries from BK. Yuck. (I was driving, so I couldn't have the salad I wanted). That is only the second or third time since April, when I started on this mission, that I have had that kind of fast food. I haven't missed it, that is for sure. I used to really enjoy a good burger and fries, but I didn't enjoy it, and felt yucky after having it. I really just wanted the chicken salad...

I made french toast for breakfast this morning. Hubby is going to be gone all day, and won't be home until late. He has church this morning, then opera rehearsal, then a concert he's singing at this evening. So, the girls and I are on our own for the first in a long string of days coming up. I've done some housework this morning. I'm going to put my roast in the oven (finally!) in a bit, then get the kitchen tidied up. I'm going to help princess get her room cleaned up and vacuumed, then I have some projects to work on with the girls. I am going to get baby's aquarium (a little one - one of her b-day gifts) set up. It has to run for 48 hours before we can put any fish in it. She picked out the ones she wants in the pet department at the store yesterday - calico goldfish. Then, princess has a couple of art projects she is going to work on, while I work on a sticker book with baby. And if/when baby takes a nap, princess and I are going to plant some herbs. I know it isn't the season, but since they are indoors, we can grow them all year long. Depending on when all that gets done, I might watch a movie this evening, or read, or both. And of course, I will get my exercising in there somewhere before dinner time. I'm going to aim for the three mile walk, 30 minutes of lower body toning with the resisitance band, and the stretch tape. I've got lots of time today, and I'm feeling like myself again, so that won't be a problem to fit in.

Lunch will be leftover chinese, and dinner will be roast and lots of veggies.

Well, I'm going to get back to it. Have a nice day. Talk to you later!

Hi

Well today was not a good day and it was not like I had planned either. I went to get groceries/ My dd had to work later than she thought so we did not go there I had some cereal for breakfast and then we went to lowes to look for some lenolium for our bathrooms and a sink for our 2nd bath.

Then we were hungry so we went to Burger King, isn't that a coincidence, and I had a chicken sandwich with some fries. I ate about 1/2 of the fries my dh ate the rest.



Then we went to Big lots and then we came home. For supper I had a salad. but I got a headache and we did not get to the walk. I suppose that it was not a bad day but it is disappointing to me that my "best laid plans of mice and men" went of course so easily and really I did not even try to make it better. Well by the time I got the headache I really did not care.

i will check in later.
