Rain changes plans

Thursday, September 30, 2010

I was determined to get out for a walk this morning after a few days of feeling lousy with a cold and it is pouring rain. So I'm playing on the spark instead and will go down and ride my bike in a few minutes. I may be able to walk later. If not, it might be time to explore the fitness equipment at the rec center. It is here in the community but because of the mountain roads it takes about a half hour to get there so I have not taken the time to go look yet. There are several places in here that I should explore - pools, parks and swinging bridges, etc. Now I'm wondering why I've been too busy to do those things!

Isn't it funny that we find the time to do the things we want to do the most? Those things sound really great! Let us know what you think of each one, ok? Report Inappropriate Comment

Vegetable soup

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

I got my soup made but that was about the extent of my accomplishments yesterday. I watched a movie in the afternoon and today because I feel better I'm feeling guilty about breading my streak of 10,000 steps as minimum. Monday I did somewhere in the 8000's and yesterday I did 5673.

On the other hand I am not seeing results I want to see with my current activity - it's got to be that dang portion control again!

Oh, portion control is my downfall, too! Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm right there with you. I started off strong at the beginning of the month and just fizzled at the end of the month. My measuring cups are still on the counter too! :( Report Inappropriate Comment

So, sounds like it's time for soup! I made some too. Vegetable similar to Weight Watchers soup but I added more vegetables. Yummy. We will have to exchange soup recipes. Keep the activity going. Report Inappropriate Comment

I made vegetable soup yesterday also, a recipe from SP that I doctored up for more flavor. My pedometer did not have as many steps on it as I had hoped when I went to bed, only 7563. For some reason I was feeling depressed and tired and it was a struggle to get done what I had to do. Must have been something in the air yesterday. Report Inappropriate Comment

A day off

My cold is better but I am still taking it easy today. I do want to try and make a new batch of my low cal veggie soup. Now that it is getting cooler we will enjoy that for lunches again.

Thank you for the gift. I like surprises. Soup is starting to sound good again with our cooler weather. It is my favorite meal in the winter plus the more you warm it up the better it gets. Report Inappropriate Comment

It's best to keep this for yourself and not share. Take care of yourself. Report Inappropriate Comment

Rainy day

Sunday, September 26, 2010

The thunder and lightning started about 3 a.m. and woke us from a sound sleep. I didn't think it was supposed to start until late today but anyway we dozed off and on but did not get back in that nice deep sleep due to the noise of the storm. I finally gave up about 6 and got up and made some tea.

It's just beginning to get light out so we will see what the day will bring and whether or not the rain continues.

It's a great day to ride the bike inside and later read. Report Inappropriate Comment
