Easter Sunday Dinner

Sunday, April 04, 2010

I have been exploring healthier cooking lately and have been making vegan oatmeal cookies, vegetarian banana nut bread and just yesterday I made my first Hummus, which turned out great. So today when family comes over they will be eating hummus and vegan cookies and maybe for dessert a chocolate avocado mousse. We will also have steaks, I can't change everyone at one time. I will be having more veggies then meat. Hope everyone likes it.

Last day in January 2010, Sunday

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Today is Sunday the last day in January 2010. Normally I take it easy and be a tv watcher...But today ...
I will get my 10,000 + steps in, by walking the dog and get ready to start a new goal for Monday February 1, 2010.
I would like to start with Sparks 28 day challenge but not sure if I'm able to take that on right now, so I thought I would set my own 28 day challenge, 1 month I can do it right. My goals that I would like to achieve are;
1) Walk 10,000 + steps every day for 28 days.
2) Do some Endurance, Strength & Balance, and Flexibility exercises daily for 28 days.
3) Keep drinking my 1 gallon tap water daily for 28 days.
4) Plan on going to the Senior Center to use Elliptical Trainer for 35 minutes for 28 days.
5) and finally~ substitute sugary food for fruits (apples/oranges) for 28 days.

I think all this can be accomplished, I would feel really good about myself if I could do this for the month. I set goals but never achieve them, I'm hoping this will be different.

Monday 1.25.2010

Monday, January 25, 2010

Today I started out on a good foot. I've been struggling with a scratchy throat that I have had all weekend, but had decided to go back to the gym. So we put on our pedometer and headed to the gym. We went this morning and I just did the elliptical trainer for 30 minutes and 5 minute cool down backwards and 20 over head presses for the upper arm . Got back home and after lunch decided to take the dog for a walk and walked another 8,528 steps for a grand total for today of 16,532 steps. I've stopped with the pedometer at 3:30pm. So not tooooooo bad, I'm getting back on back.
I just don't to get discouraged like I'm known to do.

I'd like your input about water.....

Sunday, January 24, 2010

I have been going back and forth for some time now about drinking something other than water. I was wondering if I drink my 10 - 12 cups of water and have more time left in the day that i could drink tea, coffee, hot chocolate? I have been drinking just water for about 12 months now and I think I want change. Is that ok? or should I just stick with water.
