Back to Basics Boot Camp
What are you doing to be more healthful this week?
This is a crazy week for me. We had the 4th of July BBQ yesterday. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and I am cooking dinner for her. Thursday would have been my parents 45th wedding anniversary if my dad was still alive and my aunt is flying in. Sunday is the extended family July Birthday celebration at my house. Then Monday is my son's birthday.
Traditionally this week is a lot of eatting very 'bad for us' food. But not this year! Yesterday, I made corn on the cob (which I had one bite of from my daughter's), green salad, and cherries for desert. My husband bbq'ed some pork ribs, but no sauce on ours. For mom's birthday, she is asking for grilled salmon, asparagus and garlic mashed (which I'll do half potatoes and half turnips). I'll cut up strawberries for desert. My kids are going to spend the day with her on Thursday. I'm still trying to figure out the menu for when we have the extended family over...there will be about 12 people. This will be the only event where there will be cake as there will be 4 people celebrating their birthdays at this one event. The actual birthday day will be fruit only. I'm trying to make good choices for eating.
As far as exercise goes. Over the weekend, I took the kids for at least an hour walk every day. This morning the new kitten woke me up early, so I went to the gym and got 2 hours in before work. While I am tired, because I only got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep. I'm not ready to collapse (yet).

I am starting slowly.. Getting myself back on track first. I have started by NOT drinking with my meals, and am working on protein. And of course water. I have not been good about those things!
Exercise, yes, I need to up mine, as of now I get about a half hour a day. I wish there was a pool near by so I could swim, I love swimming. Today I WILL look into finding a pool to use!
