Now here I am for my regular post.
I think I'm on here TOO much maybe. It was cool this morning, but the sun is out and I was glad I didn't wear my jacket. Had it in the car just in case. We went to the gym and I did my usual plus a few minutes on the eliptical...trying to get used to it. With my bad hip its not so easy for me to get on and esp off but dh stands by for me. After the gym we went grocery shopping at two stores. We used our fizzy energy supplements in our water and I think they really helped as we didn't as tired as usual. Tonight we are having baked chicken with mushrooms and a blend of green beans, broccoli and mushrooms with cajun seasoning. Am really trying to increase our veggie intake. For lunch today I had the leftover 1/2 of my rib steak from last night's dinner and stir fried it in olive oil spray with what raw veggies were left from the party veggie try, added a few splashes of soy sauce and it was really yummy!
Dh got his new teeth yesterday and they look so nice but more importantly he can now eat!! He was so happy last eating his steak and veggies!
I'm still eating my favorite snacks that are lower carb but trying to fill up more on protein and veggies so maybe won't need them so much. Last night I did not do well...I was hungry for no-bake cookies so I made 1/2 of my recipe, and just ate the "cookie dough"...possibly would have made 2 or 3 cookies and threw out the rest. Satisfied my craving, but my bs this morning was higher than usual. So not good. I wish I'd used Splenda but had a little regular white sugar on hand so used it. I probably wouldn't have liked the Splenda taste as much and might have eaten less but I had to have my fix and wanted it to taste like I wanted! Stubborn little girl inside me!! But at least I didn't eat it all...that alone could be considered a NSV for me. Still I need to get my BS down and binges like that, even though small compared to what I've done in the past, don't help. Well that's my confession for today.
I get my recumbent bike tonight! Our son will help dh set it up so they can make a nice memory of doing it together too.
I just got a call from New Seasons Market...I won one of their giveaways! Not sure what it is but has a $99 value. For those who don't know me well, entering sweeps is a hobby of mine, but I do not have time to enter so much these days. This is only the second prize I have won this year.
How much I talk depends on who I'm with. I am naturally friendly and talkative, often talk to strangers in stores etc, and probably talk too much to poor dh and other family, however other than that I am not really very social, have had few really close friends in my life yet everywhere I go I have people I am esp fond of and talk with but don't usual socialize outside that setting. You're right, Love2garden, it is sometimes easier to talk to strangers, why I don't know, but it's true. I kind of wish I'd been more open to others in my younger years...I was kind of a loner and preferred to be just with my dh and children. I am now more friendly and open to others I think and I esp appreciate the friendship of other women both on and offline.
Love2 - Although my fam might not agree
I think I also talk less with family than I did...I think it's maybe having older children...they know more now and do not need your imput so much and often don't want it too
I love to listen to them and am amazed how much they know...esp my sons since I haven't been around them much.
Well enough talking for now...I have work that needs to be done. I didn't get all my housework done yesterday. Need to vacuum and dust a bedroom at least. Take care you all..hoping all of you are enjoying nice weather now.
