Health and Fitness January, 2016

I walked the dog on the loop.

I seemed to balance out at a starting weight from the weight loss just from being sick. I lost a couple pounds from Christmas to now. Today I made us an angel food cake. A tiny piece of that if I have enough calories left is better than a cookie or especially better than a doughnut because of the fat. I can't do a whole evening without having something. It's also better than ice cream. All the things I love!

Harmony: I'm using the Kelloggs Vector peanut bar as my go-to as a treat. I need mine in the afternoon, not evening. It has 11g of protein, chocolate, peanuts, is chewy like a square and goes well with a cup of tea. If I shop carefully they work out to 50 cents each which is expensive but not as bad as real protein bars.

Slow start to the new year. One day at a time. Concentrating on liquid. Got it in today but don't most days.

Did 30 min. On the gazelle.

Did 20 minutes floor exercise - T-Tapp. Back was feeling iffy, so its better now.
Harmony, I noticed you did some, too.

I replaced the lost DVD - got it on sale. On the one hand, I feel foolish, because I have simply misplaced a thing (or my family has) and could come across it at any time. On the other hand, this is a plan I have for increasing my fitness (next step up in floor work) and if I'd lost exercise clothes, or not gotten home from grocery with a healthy food, I would replace that. On the chance I find it, I'll give the other to dd35.

I've been making my veggie sandwiches again -
carrots and squash/zucchini shredded in food processor,
mixed with a little Duke's Mayonnaise,
thin strips of cucumbers across the sandwich
on a pita or other bread.

Great for getting in extra veggies. If there's more of the shredded/mayo mixture than I need right away, I find it saves well in a baggie in the fridge. I think this was a Fit for Life basic recipe, to which they would suggest adding sprouts, avocado, or whatever you liked. And of course they made their own mayo.

Back from a hike in the field w ddog .

[Ramblinrose]

Did my Cross Fitness (CF) class at 5 this morning. I like doing it then because I can still sub that day. Usually if i don't do my class early I don't get it done. It helps that I have a partner. I drive so it keeps me more accountable.

I started an othe diet bet today. After being sick, with tons of meds and eating weird I am up two pounds from my "danger" mark. Been back on plan since last week so I am not too worried about it.

Hope to get on my gazelle after dinner tonight while I watch a few tv shows.

[Twins' Mom]

Missed on my 10K steps yesterday and the day before, after a streak of several days over 10K. I've not been eating very well, but am more cognizant of what I'm eating. I did get rid of most of the desserts in the house, the rest don't worry me.

"Calendar event" coming up in a little more than 4 weeks. Five lbs?

I'm a little over 8K steps so far, so will make 10K I think. I'll need to walk the ddog and can do some house walking.

[Nancy]

Did a med. Walk w ddog in the a.m. and 30 on the gazelle after dinner.

There. I've completed a food diary for today. Way over on calories but my macronutrient mix was excellent.
