Re: My Daily "Weighing in"
![Post Post](./styles/mcd/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I was feeling tense about the 4th of July because my children were coming over . I love seeing and visiting with them but always worry about the food. I really don't like to prep food for these things and feel I am not good at it. I leave a lot of the prep to my husband (who is starting to not like all the fuss either). We have hosted SO many grad parties, Christmas and Easter get togethers and I guess we are tired of it. My children don't seem to want to pick it up either. I am concerned that they will never see each other if they don't come here.
What happened is: one son couldn't come with with his family as he was busy with other things, my daughter was leaving the next day on a business trip and needed to pack AND she is the one with the special needs child who requires a LOT of equipment when coming over. I don't blame her for not coming. My youngest son WAS going to come but he was busy packing for a hiking trip to Wisconsin with his fiancé. They left town very early this morning. They ended up not coming either. So THERE !! Nothing to worry about or stress over ! I wasted all that time with worry and it was fine. Only thing was I felt pretty lonely and left out of any activity. Crazy, I know !
I feel much better today and am back to my routines !
Exercise: Took the day off yesterday and today walked 3 miles. It felt so easy and enjoyable !
Breakfast: Oat groats and blueberries. Really not that fond of oat groats but they are ok.
Lunch: very large salad with the usual dressing except I have not made more hummus. I will have to see about that. I will top with garbanzo beans and maybe a little rice and corn
Dinner: steamed veggies and one of the soups from my freezer. I especially like bean soup so maybe that one. I need to make more.
Right now I am relaxing and drinking some green tea. Getting some laundry done and making some tomato sauce to go over spaghetti squash that I just cooked in the instant pot. Right now there are potatoes in that pot cooking. After they are done I will rinse it and cook the tomato sauce by just sauteing the veggies, adding the sauce and heating it up to mix the flavors. Not using the pressure part of it.
Have a good day everyone ! Remember: it doesn't pay to stress out .....it always works out in the end and sometimes surprises you !
