my day---- by mama

calories --1650
exercise was fast walking down the trail through the woods
pedometer steps was 13353

I ate a little more than I intended to do, but the tuna salad tasted so good that I kept eating it.  Oh well I didn't do to bad, and I did get in extra steps today.  I hope it all evened out, and maybe the walking negated the calories. 

Dh goes to a mens meeting tonight at church so I will have the evening to myself.  Not that big of a deal really, cause I had most of the day to myself.

Today I washed clothes, put up some fruit, walked, hand washed two of my church outfits, ironed for about an hour, talked on the phone for about an hour, cooked supper. 

I have been wanting to pick up my miniature houses to paint again.  Dh is going to make a wooden rack to display my Christmas houses on.  I can put a string of lights and put out some cotton to look like snow.

I might start that today.

Good night
God bless

mama-what we are about

Jeni and I are going to see if posting togeather will help motivate and inspire us to eat healthier.  I sure do hope this helps me stay more focused on my food and what food can DO for me, instead of looking at food as a reward or a way to lift my moods.

A diet should not be looked at as a restriction of food, it should not be looked at as "I have been bad or good today"  A diet is simply eating food, your diet consists of what you put in your mouth. 

I began my diet on a positive note, I ate a dinner for breakfast.  I had grilled talapia, and steamed veggies,blueberries and2% milk.  yummy

I will come back tonight and post what my calories and exercise was stody.  I want to not only lose weight but also to eat foods that boost my health, foods that help reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, etc.
