Good morning Barb. Sounds like a great night. I got in 10800 steps yesterday. After a lazy week this was great. Yesterday morning the sun was out, I was dressed warm and I just enjoyed being on the beach with the dog. I would have kept walking but at one point I looked back to make sure the dog was still with me and realised a cold wind out of the west had come up. This means I would have had to walk into it to go home. So reluctantly started home. Moved up to Queen st to get away from the worst of the wind. Days like yesterday make me almost enjoy winter. Unfortunately we are back to the cold grey today. I am going to church this morning to help with a book sale. This should give me some weight lifting.

I did a lot of cooking yesterday. Some chili, granola, mushroom soup and chicken tacos. Didn't realise I was out of split peas so will make the ham soup today. I love having small portions in the freezer for a grab for work.

b 2 eggs, bacon 1/2 slice toast (this is huge for me)

l chili (may change this to mushroom soup)

s skim milk, mint protein shake

d chicken stir fry with broccoli, mushrooms and peppers

s silhouette yogurt.

cal 1056, carb 79, prot 95

Seems weird that fitbit lists chicken as having 12 grams of carb

Pat I am with you on loving a nice cold day with lots of sunshine......how nice to walk on the beach with your pooch.....and great steps

Hope you can join in on the golf game. Injuries are no fun!

mmmm...Franks sweet chili thai sauce....sounds wonderful......I also love sirraacha ( sp) sauce......sure spices up our food

Enjoy yourself Barb!  I'll just sit here in the snow and be jealous. ;)

My son has been visiting his dad this weekend, so we had the place to ourselves yesterday and Friday (although we were both working on Friday). He's coming home this afternoon sometime, so I'm just hanging around the house today, getting housework and laundry done. 

Although I don't have my Wii Fit scale anymore, I'm using this ancient bathroom scale that isn't overly accurate. But it still has me hovering just under 180 lbs (and I remember it weighing me slightly heavier than the Wii Fit did), so I think I'm maintaining all right.  Still having a hard time tracking and planning during family chaos, which continues, and not always making the best food choices, but I'm still following the rules not too badly, and making up for it when I fall off the wagon.

S - Protein bar

Sounds like you are doing great Michelle....life is rarely perfect....and finding balance can be diffiuclt....but I think if we get there 75% of the time its great

Thanks Barb, you're so right.  It's important, as you say, to find that balance even when life is difficult, because there's always going to be some challenge or other. Life is rarely smooth. 

Really appreciated your "It's What You Eat" post, by the way.  It was excellent.
