Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes ! You all make me happy !!
Today I walked 3 miles for my exercise
Breakfast: steel cut oats, strawberries and a splash of soy milk.
Lunch: large salad with balsamic vinegar for dressing, part of an avocado and chick peas on top. I love chickpeas !! I had a yellow potato and a couple of veggie dogs (I know, not that healthy)
Dinner: an apple and a big bowl of potato soup. I really love the recipe on the Forks Over Knives web site. I left out the vinegar because I didn't have the right kind . It tasted just fine without it. I was going to steam some zucchini to have but my husband was busy in the kitchen and I just couldn't get around him. Probably will have it tomorrow !
Our Zucchini is starting to get busy in our garden now. We are determined to catch it before it gets too big. Will see if that happens !
Our salad garden has been very good as well ! Lots of different leafy greens to collect every two days. We have basil too so I need to figure out how to use that. I DO like it in zucchini soup !
I have been doing well again as far as eating and not bingeing. I think it has been 4 or 5 days
! I was partly scared into it because I weighed myself and I was up by 4 pounds
and then I took my blood pressure and my BP was higher than it has been in a long time
. My weight is going down now and my BP is a bit better but has a way to go to get where it was. I was eating a lot of crap
. I am thankful for the shakeup now as I travel down the road with no barriers or speed bumps . I feel a lot better (physically and mentally ). Thankful for all your support.
I am trying to be thankful for my age (70
) and plan to enjoy this new decade ! Let's see what happens !!
