Happy Monday! I didn't care for the rain this morning but the sun is out right now and it's warm so all in all it turned into a very pretty day!! ******************************************************************************** FOOD S:  StarBECK'S skinny cinnamon dulce Latte  B:  1/2 cup egg beater omelet with a slice of colby jack and salsa L:   Twisted Protein Bar  (got busy and now it's too close to dinner) D:  Rotisserie chicken with steamed broccoli and wild rice FLUIDS 8oz milk 8oz coffee 24oz water 24oz crystal light (i'm working on this one now) 24oz crystal light (after dinner this evening) EXERCISE I DID IT!!!  I figured out how to make the 1000 minute exercise goal (off the lapband board) for this month and I did it!  I did my usual routine at the gym but I actually timed myself on the strength machine and I spent 45 minutes on those.  I then did my usual 40 minutes on the exercise bike.  THEN.....I signed up to meet with the trainer for later in the afternoon to set me up on the new strength machines (they have to plug in your upper and lower range of motion along with the weight you start out lifting and show you how to use the machine itself) that they just got in (out with the old and in with the new) and this lasted an hour!  So according to my math i'm 3 minutes over!!!!   I made it by the skin of my teeth but nonetheless, Yeah me!!!!

WHat a gloomy day.  The Reds Lost!  I went to the gym and rode 7.5 miles in the 45 min I had before I  had to get back and take care of my 85 yr old mother.  I ate 6ox blueberry yogurt and 1tbsp of grape nuts for a little crunch and 1 cup coffee. For lunch 6 ox Wendy;s Chili.  Dinner will be Butt Rub Chicken with sugar free apple sauce and peas.  I consumed 38 oz of water so far.  HAd a funeral for my daughter GUinea PIg Monk.  My daughter rode 185 miles over the weekend on a bicycle and cam e home to her pet dead.  Being a good Mom I took the body back home for burial.  She is a Jr. at BGSU. Hope to walk my 2 dogs after dinner before  Monk;s wake.  We are having a hot tub with drinks to remember her by.  I may sould goofy.  BUt I love animals and people too.

OK, I gotta ask.....Butt Rub Chicken???  There's a joke just bouncing around in my head that I will resist but I am interested what it is as I'm always looking for ways to switch up my chicken! My condolences in losing Monk.  We buried a mole the other day.  It wasn't a pet but one of the dogs brought him up on the patio and my daughter found him.  We waited for daddy to come home and we held a funeral complete with prayers.
