Best I could do with this one was since it was the only day without rain, I sat on my back deck with my morning coffee and enjoyed the peaceful sounds of nature.

Since a lot of the fun things had been planned before the challenge, it was a little difficult to plan any more (especially with my physical limitations). We have 3 vacations planned (Florida August, North Carolina October, and New Orleans December). I have already gone to lunch with a classmate of mine that I hadn’t seen since grade school (over…[Read more]

With all the rain we’ve been having this week, my knee has been on the sore side (dampness, chilly). I didn’t get any structured exercises in (what I mean is recumbent bike, leg exercises), but did quite a bit of walking and housework so I have been active. I needed to adjust dinners a little since my husband will be home tonight (he originally…[Read more]

I am beginning to realize that I have started slowly going back to eating way too fast so get full fast and thus I am also starting to realize that may be why I seem to get nauseous a lot. Does anyone have any tricks or creative ways they use to get back into the chew, chew, chew mode?
Thanks!

Dinner was a sheet pan meal. Italian spiced chicken thighs and roasted veggies with the same seasonings (broccoli, shitake, oyster and cremini mushrooms, and Vidalia onion). Very yummy!!!

Did my meal planning for dinners and went grocery shopping already. Will be heading over to my son and daughter-in-law’s later for dinner and to spend some quality time with them and my grandsons 😄!! No sure what my daughter-in-law is planning, but she is very conscious about trying to make healthy meals and also keeps my needs in mind too.

Washed my face during a nice warm shower (steam?!) with Aveeno Absolutely Ageless??(think that’s the name) which contains blackberry extract and moisturized afterwards.

Was able to lay on couch with my eyes closed for about 1/2 hour, but I also spent some quality time (over 1 hour) with hubby in front of a fire tonight.

Dinners were pretty much on target, but breakfasts and lunches well I could have (should have) chosen better choices most days.
Never did much with structured PT exercises and my recumbent bike, however I did walk quite a bit and also did some heavy duty house cleaning a couple of days which meant I got quite a bit of activity this week.

I finally got around this morning to making the Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Bread that I was supposed to do last week (see my update under Recipes Forum). So I had some for breakfast.
Other than that, food wise, not sure yet for rest of today.
I need to run a couple errands this afternoon and unsure about the rest of the day. I’m feeling a…[Read more]

So I finally got around to making this bread today. I did make a couple of modifications, but thought it still was delicious.
Cream cheese and I don’t always agree, so I substituted with part skim ricotta cheese (read somewhere this is a good substitute). Used Sola as sweetener and ground rolled oats (oat flour) instead of whole wheat pastry…[Read more]
