Mon 7/9-What did you eat? How did you exercise??

Okay, thanks to Karen's suggestion, I'm posting this to see what sort of response we get! What have you eaten today and how are you exercising today? Lea

I'll post mine though it has been a baaaaaadddddd day for me eating and exercise wise! 1st thing this AM--glass of iced tea and my vitamins and calcium breakfast was Special K protein plus cereal with 2% milk no lunch really--I'm on antibiotics for some respiratory crud and just didn't feel like eating but did drink another 32 ozs of iced tea dinner--meatloaf (Yummmmmm) and green beans I may have a snack later, but not sure... I am currently working on another 32 oz cup of ice tea, for a total of about 72 ozs for the day. Exercise.... What exercise? I'd be a really crappy role model today! Now as I said in another post, I do have to walk the farm and feed the animals. And they are all over the place, not grouped in one area, so it is walking the whole place, not just out to one spot and back. I feed the chickens which is the most walking. While I feed them, I check their waterers and dump any that need cleaned and refilled (most do about every other day, so I try to do them all at least that often all at once). Then, I go get the rabbit food and head to feed them. Once the rabbits are fed, I take down any water bottles that need filled and head to the water trough! I fill the rabbit bottles, take them back and hang them back on the cages. Then, back to the trough for a bucket of clean water to work on the chickens. Once they are all tended, I feed my Great Pyrenee who is all the way out on the far end of my yard on an overhead cable run. So, that is another walk! While I feed him, I also hit the mailbox and get the day's mail. I used to wear a pedometer and track my steps, but the battery died! LOL The lifting/toting/feeding/scrubbing and walking was the only exercise for today... Tomorrow I'm doing Curves! Hugs, Lea
