It has been busy in my world together.  I hope everybody had a great weekend.  My eats for today are:

Snack:  Cheese & Crackers

Dinner:  Refried Beans and cheese fajitas

Snack:  WW ice cream sandwich

Exercise:  2.5 miles around the neighborhood.  

Have a great day and remember those vits and fluids.

I had to come back to work to get some rest and recover from my weekend.  lol  If my new found energy was due to one round of iron infusions then I can't imagine what I'll be like in about another 4 to 5 weeks.  I'm quite excited abou the prospect. Poor david had to take 2 naps Saturday. I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with exhaustion and more to do with avoiding my ever growing chore list.

Breakfast:  Protein Bar

Commute: Coffee

Breakfast #2 :  Grits (Oh forgive me great carb monster but they were great)

Lunch:   Gortons Grilled fish filet & leftover mixed veggies

snack:    Peanut Butter & celery

Dinner:    Chicken salad cold plate w/cucumber salad & watermelon

Hoping that the rain holds off and I can get a 2 mile walk in this evening. It's looking a little iffy. I think I may go back to doing a 30 minute walk in the mornings early.

Reporting this week.. . 

I am doing fine... I got a Fitbit flex tracker for my Birthday.)  It is already installed and running.  

I do need to make sure I exercise.. Not even for weight loss but for my back ... when I don't - my back gets all bent in wrong areas and hurts ... (disks problem and age) .  The exercise is no longer  just an option - it is a must together with good eating.. Unless I am willing to live on painkillers. (no, I am not)

I am able to fit in smaller pants - but the scale shows the same number.. don't we all know that too well? I try to get on the scale at least 2-3 times a week hoping that it would show a real loss -but so far same number.. 

Eats is typical..  coffee, coffee., proteins, more proteins, veggies , some meat. 

Whip cream and nuts are my things for a decadent snacks.  Sometime I add some fruits to my whip cream.. 

Energy wise - I think I may need some iron infusion again.. 

Exercise: treadmill walking 25 min at 3.5mph, 3% incline.. not too bad.. 

will do some more working out today, maybe

Happy Monday to all.

I am good with my Vitamins...need to get back on the calcium though.  Taking it now...mid sentence.  : )

My water intake is always a battle but my determination is stronger, so I am not whining about it, just working on it.
