Tuesday, July 9th, Cardio & Cafe

Good Morning Folks:

Back from a long weekend.  I hope everybody had a wonderful fourth and a safe weekend afterwards.  My eats for today are:

Breakfast:  Quest Protein Bar

Snack:  Grapes

Lunch:  Turkey & cheese on Sandwich Thin

Snack:  Yogurt Greek Bar

Dinner:  1/2 steak and cheese subway

Snack:  Banana (need a little extra potassium)

Exercise:  I have fallen off the wagon but will try to do better.  I am trying to talk the hubby into getting a treadmill for our home.  Keep your fingers cross for me.

Have a great day and week and don't forget those vits and fluids.  Temps here today are going back up in the 90's, I can feel my sparkle coming on!

Good morning Tess,

Glad to hear you had a great holiday + weekend.  Mine was really good, also.  Not a lot of activity here at BOTT this weekend, so I'm thinking everyone was off having a great time.  Good way to get off our feet and get moving!

You might want to point out the advantages of having a home treadmill during the heat of summer, and the frigid winter days, not to mention rainy days.  Your hubby would probably enjoy using it too.  Right now, mine is getting put to good use by my daughter and granddaughters.  I am still restricted from using it, but hope I'll be able to again someday.

I'm late posting for yesterday (had a late night), so here it is.  No bike workout yesterday due to time constraints.  My eats were:

B:  1 c blueberries, 6 ozs Light & Fit yogurt

L:  5 ozs leftover beef/turkey meatballs in marinara on sandwich thin, 2 tbsps grated parmesan

S:  1 oz peanuts

D:  1/2 grilled chicken breast and 2 wings (skinless)

S:  2/3 c blueberries

I've been really falling off track on the vegetables.  I like fresh vegs and love to buy and cook them the same day, but haven't been feeling up to going to the store too much lately.  I feel kinda sluggish most days, and I'm sure it's the muscle relaxants.  But I'm going today after my doc's appt, because my body is craving some fresh vegs right about now.  Have a great day!

Thank you for posting over the weekend and sorry that it was lonely.  Isn't it funny that when we cut out certain foods that we start to really crave them in a few days.  I do the same on fruits and veggies too!  Have a great rest of the day!

You're welcome, Tess.  You need your time off just like we do.  I know it must be daunting sometimes to be answering everyone's posts, but that why we all miss you when you're not here.  You're the glue that keeps us together.  Super glue!!

I hear you on the veggies...  For  good few months i was in pain and could not handle fruits and veggies.. so now I am on rebound - I missed it so I have a hard time limiting quantities.. not very smart.. since too much fruits makes me dump and too much veggies gives me horrible gas... 

But I think things will stabilize eventually... 

Good to see you posting.. I do enjoy Sheila posts.. I am glad she is doing that when you can't.. Sheila - please don't stop... It is my reminder what to do... .I check often - just don't have much to add... and it is same 'ol, same 'ol with me...

Thank you so much, H.a.l.a....you're sweet.  I enjoy your posts, Tess's posts, and everyone's posts!!!!  I love this site, and visit several times a day.  Don't worry...I won't stop.  I'm too anal for that, lol.  Have a great day!

You know Hala, I can talk about anything.  I feel that I am repeating myself daily but if it helps someone then I will be here for the long haul.  Have a great day!
