We are really suffering from allergies here! The whole ranch is in bloom right now, and none of the 6 of us are feeling very well, so yesterday I didn't get in any of the exercise (except some of the house cleaning) that I had planned. I'm feeling horrible (allergy wise) today, and am staying home with Hannah (my 6 year old that suffers from asthma) this morning instead of going to church.
Stuck to my plan yesterday for the most part. Didn't get in all the fruit that I had planned (which for me is a good thing , it will balance out over the week. And had something different for lunch, but calorie wise, and food pyramid wise, it was about the same. AND I didn't feel like baking those cookies, so I didn't have cookies, and was TOTALLY fine with that! One FANTASTIC thing that I noticed yesterday, I can tell when I'm actually hungry again!
Here's today's plan:
SUnday: Exercise: day off
Snacks: ww pretzel sticks with pb carrots with salsa OR carrot and cabbage juice
Breakfast: 2 bites homemade biscuit and gravy 1/2 cup grapes 1 whole kiwifruit 1/2 cup raw oatmeal cooked in 1 cup skim milk with 1 T. chopped almonds, 3T chopped dates, and 1 tsp. real maple syrup
Lunch: ham sandwich on homemade whole wheat bread carrots salad or fruit
Dinner: italian chicken burger on french bread oven fries sauteed swiss chard and edamame
Dessert: (IF I STICK TO MY PLAN) 1 chocolate chip peanut butter cookie
Blessings,
Lori

For exercise today I'm going to do 2 mile WATP,wash my SUV,clean up around the house.

I also had a few small pieces of bread. Exercise:We walked all over for about 4 hours, dh said we must have walked at least 5 miles so I put myself down for 4.5 on my mile log. It was really good and after the game we walked some more. We did no shopping just looking around and enjoying the weather. 100 crunches before bed
I am back and had a wonderful time! The food was fabulous and I really enjoyed the time with my husband. It was great not to rush at dinner and not to be interupted with questions every minute! I know that my calories were over budget, but I did not go crazy at all. We had a great artichoke appetizer Friday night and split an entree. I had a salad too and skipped bread, desert and wine. Breakfast was fine- blackberries, yogurt and 1/2 bagel with milk tea and freshly squeezed oj. The numbers are over, but I so enjoyed every bite! I am set for tomorrow and will need to be careful as I tend to have a hard time coming back to my plan. I can feel myself wanting to eat more. Need to focus and get back.
Saturday: exercise- 2 Mile Walk Away the Pounds lots of yard work, walk on the beach breakfast- Coffee w/ff creamer, Whole Wheat toast. snack- yogurt lunch- whole wheat pasta w/ homemade sauce and salad. snack- apple dinner- grilled fish w/ mango salsa, a few grilled shrimp and one crab claw. steamed asparagus w/ grilled mush- rooms.
