I'm giving myself a pound off finally, so now I've recovered from my latest binge. I also was able to walk last night for a decent length, which I haven't been able to do in probably 4 months due to my plantar fasciitis. I'm paying today for it, but boy did it feel good last night. Maybe it's finally going away!
We are working on the second day of almost perfect summer weather -- comfy temperatures, pleasant little breeze, lots of sunshine, and (best of all) very negligible humidity -- this is the way it's supposed to be.
I am still totally stuck at my ticker weight for this month -- well actually sometimes I'm up a pound, sometimes I'm down a pound; but always I seem to come back to the same 212.
I am at work and it is time to quit. I almost finished catching up on all the posts. I have not given up - I have been away because my home computer crashed! I am like a crack addict with no computer!!!!
Day looks good so far . . . but the humidity has climbed skyward again and the forecast is calling for rain this afternoon . . . . . . Guess three in a row was too much to hope for. Time to get back to doing some indoor stuff.
I found a nice recipe with Balsamic vinegar- http://food.yahoo.com/recipes/allrec...an-salad/print
I changed some stuff- didn't cook the beans as long as they said and didn't add as much oil as they said, either.
I also finally tried the blueberry salad- it's really good! I made it with mostly fresh spinach leaves, some red and green lettuce from my garden and without the onions because my stomach doesn't like them- they repeat too much. It was very good- my DH wasn't too crazy about it, but I think he put too much vinegar on it. He put it on like normal salad dressing, and he always uses a lot of that. I warned him, but they always know better...
Oh that does sound good . . . and I've got fresh beans in the fridge right now (a mix of yellow and green) so think I'll try it . . . definitely with a lot less oil.
Linda, I forgot to mention what a pretty kitty you got.
Pretty soon I am going to be in serious trouble. My good habits keep going astray. I seem to let little disruptions in my routine really mess me up. I am not sure how to get a grip!
This may sound stupid, Gail, but for inspiration put on a swimsuit (or a bikini!) and either look in a full length mirror or better yet, have someone take a picture of you. That usually does it for me!
Good Morning . . . and it is a glorious one around here. Horrendous storms passed through yesterday evening and overnight and now it is sunny and cool (may not even make it above the mid 60s). Probably a bit cool for most of you, but I it.
ArtCat, I am sitting here laughing at the thought of me in a bikini! But I get what you are saying. I should get my DH to take a pic of me in something nice that I won't be able to wear if I blow it. Actually, I am feeling more focused now that I have my new computer set up and can hang out with all you chicks.
I made myself a grilled shrimp and goat cheese tostada for lunch. I still have a bit of the lite chevre left. The recipe also involved some avocado...yummo.
There is a recipe for filet mignon with bourbon blueberry barbeque sauce in the Eating Well email I got today. I had already gotten out a couple of filets for supper, so I might try it. Not sure if there is any bourbon around...
The grocery had chicken breast on sale, so I got a bunch and poached it this morning so I have a huge supply for sandwiches, salads, soup whatever appeals to me.
I also have a batch of yogurt working, and I grew some sprouts a couple of days ago, so I have some good stuff going.
. . . Guess three in a row was too much to hope for. Time to get back to doing some indoor stuff.
it.
