Happy St.I pretty much Patrick's Day. Yes, I enjoyed my corned beef and cabbage today. It is a once a year treat so I don't feel bad about it. Sundays are always a high calorie day for me. The rest of the time I pretty much stick to the straight and narrow. The funny thing is I'm only Irish for the day. I has been a good day.

That's part of the journey right? Nothing is off limits so long as you learn restraint. Have a great day! Report Inappropriate Comment

Guess who will not have 100 % on the blogging for this month's challenge? Rhetorical question - me. I don't know what happened yesterday, it just plum snuck out of my head!
Today was one of those days- I'm not tracking food, mostly because I'm not sure how to log some of the food. We attended a funeral at out church today and stayed for the dinner. Fried chicken, various potato dishes, veggie dishes, and then the desserts. That always gets me. I had tossed salad, olives and pickles, cantaloupe cubes, potato casserole, green beans in a pickle type dressing with smoked sausage slices, fried chicken (2 thighs) and a sliver of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I guess it wasn't too bad, as I could and (have had at times) double on the potatoes and the desserts. I probably should have done some exercise today too, but didn't . We'll see what the scales say in the morning. The thing is I didn't pass on the sugar and flour items for dessert but I did pass on the roll. Dinner was home made soup with veggies and pasta, a tossed salad and some home canned pears my sister did up liuke applesauce..Tomorrow I need to get after stuff and get some housekeeping done. Dust bunnies are attacking everywhere and I need to work in th kitchen too.

The real 3/4/13

Monday, March 04, 2013

Guess I goofed on the date for my blog yesterday. It should have been 3/3/13 or Sunday. Today is Monday and it has been a good Spark day. I will try to put in my food in a little while, but there was no white stuff or sugar so it should be good. I also got in 40 minutes of Tai Chi. I did the minutes from the Women's Club meeting and have been catching up on other paper work. Not all lI need to get caught up on, but a big backlog is getting taken care of. That feels good. My plan is to continue the good work.

Sunday - a day of ?rest? Well sort of.
Church this morning, then out to breakfast- with just the three of us at home we all take turns cooking. This weekend it was our daughter's turn and her cooking is to go out to one of the breakfast restaurants around town. We went to a Jimmy's Egg. I tracked my nutrition for today and although the totals are in my range, very little else is. But in the long range plan, maybe not so bad as I do not eat like this the other 6 days of the week - usually only once every three weeks. And some times, I am not this far off track. As for some exercise, well I was out in the garage, moving boxes and gathering up a few items to donate. Then I went for a walk around the block. I will have to measure that in the car as it is 2 blocks long and lots on both streets are double the usual city length back to front.
I did get some needed work done on the computer to be ready for a committee I am working on, cleaned out more email and have done what I am able to do here on Spark.
Sure sounds like a winner to me!

I was not that active today. I had my sewing group this morning and yes, I was on my feet and moving-just more standing. A quick trip to the store on the way home and after lunch I parked at the computer. I got up for dinner - it was a clean out the fridge day! At this point, I think the plan must be to really nail everything starting tomorrow.
No grandbaby next week so I am ready to roll.
