Yes, Marsha, that has helped me out a few times this week. I got that idea from something someone posted on the MWL site.
exercise today: walked 2 miles at the gym . My back is a bit touchy today. If I stand too long it starts to bother me a bit. Walking doesn't seem to hurt it so I continue with that.
Breakfast: old fashioned oats with banana
Lunch: large salad with my hummus and balsamic vinegar (I have been adding chopped fennel bulb to my salads and I really like the crunch and the flavor ), pasta with tomato sauce , blood orange
Dinner: veg soup, broccoli, dal over a cooked grain mix, apple
Snack: between lunch and dinner I got hungry so I had a few carrot sticks and celery followed by a small yellow potato
I had a good week following the MWL program. This week I am concentrating on getting better with the 50/50 plate. I prepped celery and carrots to use when I need to have a potato or two when hungry between meals. I also have broccoli and cauliflower washed and prepped to steam before dinner. Tomorrow I will make some veg soup. Oh, I probably need to make more mashed potatoes too !
That wedding is still in the works ! This week I will finish up the invitations for the rehearsal dinner we are hosting. Will be glad to check that off my list. I take comfort in realizing that my list is a lot shorter than the bride's and her family.
My grandson who has special needs went by ambulance to the children's hospital this afternoon. I offered to help with his sister. Unfortunately, because the little guy visits there somewhat often, they have a routine and switch places every few hours. I watched him just 2 days ago and he was fine. Things change with him quickly ! If you are reading this and are a praying person, prayers are appreciated ! So stressful for his parents !
