Everything tastes better with an avocado on it! Had canadian bacon with avocados for breakfast. Sometimes I eat turkey slices rolled up with avocado in the middle....yummy!

Walkingtolose: Ilene is right.....fajita's minus the tortillas are fab! Not eating the chips are hard though......

I've been catching up on all your posts the past week and half...sounds like everyone is having a great summer and eating good!

I wish I was coming back from vacation lighter...but I used up my 20% plus some these past 10 days, I did eat good in the morning and had lots of fresh seafood(either raw or steamed) but I definitely consumed too much BEER! way too much beer! What is it about vacation and the beach that makes the drinks run freely. I splurged on a funnel cake, a cannoli and a few other sugary treats. My ankles are so swollen from the beer its ridiculous, and the 1x I had fried food on our trip I thought my insides were going to explode. I am so looking forward to my normal routine and eating starting tomorrow. The beach we were at has an almost 5 mile boardwalk when you go to the end and back so I did get plenty of walking in, and I got plenty of vit D(no burn though) and most importantly the kids had a great time in the ocean and on the rides.

I'm looking forward and not stepping on the scale until the end of the month. I know once the extra sodium and water gets flushed I'll feel much better.

koceank29- Sounds like you had a good time. Maybe the scale will be nice since you were constantly on the go.

I have been on an avocado kick lately. I really like it in my eggs. I will saute them up with everything else that I am putting in my omelet. The last avocado I bought was not ripe enough & I found that doing that softened it up enough. I have not been doing the best eating wise this weekend but I was down a lb. This weekends eating will probably catch up to me in another day or two.

Kara, sounds like you had a good time...

Tyma, I love avocado too, today I made avocado chocolate pudding yummy...

Today was a good day, I ran for 45 mins, weight trained for 25, was very Primal except for one glass of wine.... It's all good...

I'm going away for almost 3 days to a Yoga camp so I won't be on line for that time, probably back on-line on Wednesday night...

Morning everyone!

Nibble of this, nibble of that ... has added up to too many carbs for me this weekend. My hands and face are puffy. But I did do lots of walking!

Somedays I fully understand why folks eat so much take-out food. I have chicken legs in the crock and my bacon and eggs are cooking ... and it's 5:30 am.

Today I'm going to look for a couple of really good "pond" pictures. There is a pond catalog that my fiance would like to submit a few pictures to, I know it would thrill him if one of the pond pictures would make it in the catalog, so I am going to look through my files and see if I can come up with a few that would work.

My sweetie is a crazy gardener and has a small pond he built four or five years ago with a little waterfall. He has planted hundreds of plants around it so it is really lush and natural looking, just beautiful. Over the years, I have taken photos of it, the flowers, the water lilies, the dragonflies, the little birds which wash in the waterfall, the goldfish, the reflections. It changes every day.

CJZee.....that sounds beautiful! You should post your pics here for us to see!

Hey there!

I forgot to weigh in this morning. But, since yesterday was my birthday, the CAKE probably won't have helped much! We did go out to a steak house where I could get a good London Broil, it was after the CAKE part that I fell off the board.

My hands are puffed up like a catchers mitt--but today is on target so far.

Does anyone here make up their own workouts like you see on MDA? I was watching some videos from the site and found a thread on SimpleFit that had some interesting before and after pics and a really simple workout...so far I've just upped my own weigh workout intensity and stayed with my exercise bike. Anyone see the video with the guy in his garage punching tires? It reminded me of the old Rocky movie!

Bob--the work as it's done in a clinical lab isn't nearly as interesting as my 27 years in a toxicology lab. It's little different from any other specialized lab stuff. But reviewing the epi literature is how I stay interested.

CJZee-we want pics!

Onward to Primal!

Spanx

Oh my! I'm cleaning up my fitday account. You should see some of the custom crap I've got in there. Did I really think I was going to get healthy eating that stuff?!?

Spanky? I've dragged the wheelbarrel around the backyard for exercise

It's hard to count things like nuts, huh?
Here's my best estimate for yesterday.
1929 cals
57% fat
29% protein
13% carb

138 gms of protein ... hmmm ...

So ... as requested, a pond picture! My sweetie wants a pix of the whole pond, whereas I like to shoot detail shots. So here is a try with the whole pond.

So peaceful CJ...That is beautiful!

I had some cake last night for my daughters 1st birthday, of course I paid for it at 1:45 this morning. My body really hates sugar now, I was always sensitive to it, but now my body revolts with it. My dad brought up some fresh picked peaches and some pink grapefruit from florida yesterday, they have a bit too many carbs for me normally but I'm going to enjoy them since they look so good, I could do worse. We are off to the pool today before it storms again, yesterday afternoon was nasty.

Have a great primal day everyone!

Hey Susan - what kinds of stuff were in your fitday account. I'm a food voyeur!

CJZee, the pond is gorgeous! Looks like a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature!

I do not have a green thumb....more like a yellow one that I hope turns green with age!

Have a good day.

The pond looks like a place I could sit & relax for long periods at a time.

I have been so tired latley. I dont know what the deal is. Sunday was the 1st time I ran since Tue of last week. I had trouble running a mile without stopping to walk. Even now I have had to stop to walk. I have a had time sleeping at nite but last nite I pretty much past out & had a hard time getting up this morning. I have a short work week this week so am looking forward to sleeping in on Thur. My luck I will be back to not sleeping well again.
