Good Morning

Wasn't it sad about Christopher Reeves dying? He had tried so hard to get the use of his legs back. In every interview that I saw of him he always said he would walk again. Maybe, whereever he is he is standing tall, and using his "superman" powers to fly again. I am not being disrespectful to God, just hoping he is happy whereever he is.

Today I have got to get back into a routine of eating healthy. I did get groceries so i have no excuse. And I bought some french dressing for my salads so that is even a bonus, cause the calories is only 10 per Table s p o o n.

I am going to do the 4 mile walk as soon as I finish up here. And then I am going to do 15 minutes on the weight machine. My dd comes today and we may do a 2 or 3 mile walk.

We had planned on buying pizza but I think I am going to just put that off until another day.

My menu for the day

breakfast- oatmeal, juice

lunch-medium salad, some tuna,

supper- grilled okra , grilled suchini, sweet peas,and the rest of my tuna,

snack- trail mix

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

I will check in later

Have a good day everyone.

Brrrr. I think I need to close the window by my desk today. It's only 44 degrees out, and a little breezy. I just hate to close it up, though, because then it seems stuffy in here, but I'm getting cold!

I didn't end up getting everything I had planned done yesterday, but my kitchen looks good, and that is something. I can't remember the last time I had all of the dishes done, and put away, too. Usually, the clean dishes stay on the counter. The aquarium is together and running in it's new home on top of my cookbook cupboard. Tomorrow night we can go get the fishies for it, either before or after the parent group meeting. Princess has next Monday off school, so I think maybe we will do our planting project that day.

I basically ate what I had planned yesterday, though I did have four pumpkin doughnut holes . I got my exercising in, too, the three mile walk and the stretch tape. Didn't get the extra toning stuff in, but I'm not going to be too upset about that.

Today, I am having oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast. I think I will have a quesadilla and salad for lunch. Dinner will be roast and veggies. Exercise will be the three mile tape and the stretch tape.

Well, I guess I'd best get going. Have a good day.

and yes, it was sad about Christopher Reeve. I saw his doctor on the news this morning, but the volume was down, so I didn't hear what they were saying. My first thought was that he had made some notable progress, then I saw the news on the little ticker that runs across the bottom of the screen, and it made me sad. I've always really liked him, ever since I was little and saw Somewhere in Time. I echo your sentiments, Audra. Wherever he is, he is standing tall, that's for certain.

I had my lunch. I switched it up a bit from what I had thought about earlier, though. I had forgotten that princess requested hamburgers for dinner tonight, so I got out the roast and veggies (potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms) I cooked yesterday. Chopped the roast up, and mixed it back with the veggies to make a yummy soup. I had two cups of that, plus a thick slice of plain heavy wheat bread.

Dinner will be a hamburger, probably a few (baked) fries, and a nice salad. I still have some squash to eat, too, so maybe a piece of that.

I'll be back....

6:10 pm

Dd came today and she and I and my sister went out for lunch. we went to taco bell and I had a chicken qusidilla and 1 chicken taco. I had one serving of oatmeal and one apple for breakfast and for supper I had another bowl of oatmeal and a few raisens. I know you can tell that I did not stick to my menu for today. And it was not healthy, except for the oatmeal and the apple, it was not real high in calories either.

I have to get back to eating a lot more vegetables. I think one thing that is throwing me off is that my dh is not here to eat and I just don't feel like cooking all of the food for just me. '

Tomorrow I am going to stop eating so unhealthy I am going to start fixing me some vegetables.

Jasmine I am puffy in a lot of places, and I am still drinking more than I usually drink but not as much as I did 2 days ago. So hopefully I will lose some of this water weight soon.

Talk to you later
