Here's an odd choice, that ended up tasting very good--Hallowed out cinnamon raisin bagel toasted & stuffed with sausage crumbles and cheddar cheese
Decaf protein coffee
Another decaf protein coffee
2 leftover beef stew cubes
Fried shrimp
3 hush puppies
Decaf protein coffee
Vites: all in
Fluids: 80 oz.

How was the bagel? That is an odd combo...but I've heard people that like eggs and sausage on cinn. Rasin bagels.

I'm not normally a sweet & savoy gal, but this was really good. 

Sounds really good and a great way to have a few carbs but not too many.

It was a good day!

S: Protein bar
S: Protein shake
L: Brussel sprouts with oil and vinegar and black pepper
Cole slaw (my new find....cole slaw kits...mmmm mmmmmm mmm good)
Hamburger with Cheese
S: Cheese slices
D: Homemade chicken soup (no carbs, just veggies) SOOOO EASY BUT SOOOO GOOOD!!!! I had 3 bowls
S: Apple
S: I'll probably have some ice cream or another protein bar.

Vits: all done
Exercise: I did a hard leg work out and then a yoga class.

I've been thinking about trying yoga or a stretching class at the very least. I know I'm at the age where I need something to improve my muscle tone and maintain what little flexibility I have left. 

It makes so much of a difference in flexibility....I didn't realize how tight my muscles have become until I went back to doing yoga once a week. If you are a member of Gold's Gym, they have a class called "body flow". It's a combo of Yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates.....a really good work out for a 50 minute class.

If you go the more traditional route, find an instructor that rotates the routine, otherwise it becomes boring ...and you don't get as much out of it.
