Good Morning

My dh coughed all night long, he did not get much sleep and neither did I. So we are both kinda dragging today.

He went to work and I got up and did the 4 mile walk. But dh said he would knock off early and I know he is going to take a nap and I think I might curl up beside him and take a nap too.

I sure don't have much energy, and I was very proud of myself for forcing myself to do the walk. I almost feel like that is the most important thing for me to do. it comes before cleaning and laundry and floors. Because it does me the most good.

If I get a little energy up this evening I am going to run the mower again because we got a little wind and my yard is covered in leaves. I just think it looks like a yard has been abandoned when the leave are so thick.

Menu for the day

breakfast-oatmeal and banana, maybe some juice

lunch- salad with a little cheese and some pepperoni

supper-maybe a veggie burger and some low cal
veggies for sides

snack-trail mix

exercise-4 mile walk and maybe push the mower

I will check in later

Have a good day everyone

Sorry to hear you and your hubby didn't get much rest last night, Audra.

I went out running errands this morning after I took princess to school. Had to get her some more cough medicine, but I also looked through all of the Halloween clearance stuff. I bought her some leggings - they are orange and black, but for a dollar a pair, she can wear them around the house. And I got the baby a cute hooded outfit for only $3 - not bad when it was originally $15.

Anyway, I had a plain english muffin at the store. When I got back to work, my boss had brought in doughnuts. She would have. That's something I've been hungry for for a while now, so I ate one. Just one, though, and I'm proud of myself for that, because it would have been so easy to have another....

Lunch is going to be salad, and the last enhilada. They are very tasty, but I honestly say I'll be glad to have this last one gone, as I really do get tired of eating the same thing every day! I'm not sure what I'm going to make for dinner. I think maybe turkey and dumplings, as I didn't get the turkey used up last night. I don't have all the veggies I like to put in there, but I have enough I could make it work. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I just remembered that the girls and I are supposed to go to a party with my mom tonight. My cousin is moving to AZ, and my uncle is having a going away party for her. So, ignore my previous dinner plans, as we are supposed to eat at the 'do.

I'm going to do my best to get my walk in before we go. I was so happy to exercise last night, I'd hate to not do it today.

Well, work awaits, so I'd best get to it. Have a good day!

Good for you Jasmine -having only one- sometimes there is some foods that I find so hard to say "just one".

Donuts is one that I find hard to say that to. The last time dh bought donuts I had one and dh had two or three and then the rest sat on the table and got old and hard and I had to throw them out. That was such a waste but really better for them to be in the trash than in my tummy. Keep up the good work, hope you get your exercise in. I don't think that missing days exercising gets you off track , but I do think it does something to your mind. The exercising helps to keep you on track. You know what I mean? It is hard to explain my thoughts.

I'll talk to you later

1:53 pm

My dh is home and he is napping now. I am no longer draggy feeling but I don't think I am going out to run the mower either, I don't fell quite that good.

I was not in the mood to eat anything substationl so I just had a cup of trailmix for my lunch. I am sure i will eat something before supper.

Have a good evening I will check in later.

I did not have anything else to eat until supper time and then I had a gardenburger meal, it was broccoli with red peppers and meatloaf and gravy and a slice of whole wheat bread it, was pretty good.

I know what is wrong withmy dh he has a cold it seems to be turning into a pretty bad one. I sure hope i don't get it. I really don't like to be sick.

Have a good night everyone

I'll talk to you tomorrow
