Today was a lazy day. It was drizzling off and on all morning and I don't like to walk in that weather so Baby Girl and I spent the morning being lazy. She played in her playpen for a while and then took a long nap. I read and napped in the recliner next to her.

I did stay within my calories again today. This is the third day in a row and I'm very proud of myself. Just have to keep this streak going.

I need another bottle of water so I guess I better get it before it's bedtime. Talk to you all tomorrow.

What a busy day. Took baby Girl to the doctor this morning. Yes she is allergic to amoxycilin...good news is her ears are both good...no infection now so she got enough of the med to clear it up. Doctor made a note in her chart that she is not to get that med again. Hopefully she won't need it again for a long time.

While at the clinic, I walked over to the eye exam place. I've known I needed a new eye exam for about a year now but haven't had time to get there. found out I now have a cataract in my right eye as well as AMD. I've known about the AMD for several years. Now it is in both eyes. No wonder I sit about 18 inches away from the computer screen to see it. New glasses will cost me about $400 if I go through my medical plan to get them. If I take my perscription to Walmart I can get the lens for about $250 and a pair of frames for as little as $9.Guess I'm headed to Walmart for new glasses in a couple of months. Just can't afford them right now.

Went to Sears. And then to Walmart. After that I took a walk around the Mall. Spent about 30 minutes walking. Felt good to exercise today.

Now it is bed time. Will talk to all tomorrow.

I went to Walmart for a second pair of glasses and they worked out very well. Of course I have bifocals! Glasses are a pain but it makes me nervous when I am not seeing well. Report Inappropriate Comment

I am exhausted!!. When I got to the class today, my car thermometer said it was 81 degrees out. I guess it was because I'm totally wiped out tonight. I feel like I could sleep for a week. I normally won't walk when it is that warm but it didn't feel that warm because of a nice breeze.

Looks like Baby Girl is allergic to penicillin. She broke out is welts on Saturday. We couldn't figure out what had caused it because they went away by the next morning. When I gave her her Amoxycilin this morning, she broke out again. Mama and Papa hadn't given her the meds over the weekend...since Friday morning. She goes to the doctor tomorrow morning so I will have another busy day. I still need to get John's laundry done!!!

Well I'm off here for tonight. Good day food wise...stayed under my calories. I didn't even eat the second snack last night. Didn't feel I needed it. Talk to you all tomorrow.

  

Day 13 and 14, 2013

Yesterday wasn't much to talk about. Being Sunday it was a down day for me as far as fitness goes. I did try to stay within my calories. Came close.

Today was a very busy day for me. Besides doing 7 loads of laundry, all of which is folded or hung away, I went for a walk with the kids. My daughter and grandson rode their bikes, my son-in-law ran and Baby Girl and I walked. We went a whole mile before she was bored and tired of the sun in her face. She has a pair of sun glasses but getting her to wear them is impossible.

I have stayed within my calories today as well. That includes two snacks tonight!! I tracked my food before I put the snacks in the tracker. I had room for both of them!! One will get me another 10 grams of protein but I'm still under on that nutrient. Wish I could figure out how to get more protein without the fat or cholesterol. I may have to resort to protein shots which I hate.

I'm tired so I am going to head for bed soon even though it is only 8 p.m. I may just get 8 hours of sleep tonight!! See you tomorrow.

A busy Saturday for sure. Went to my Mall Walkers group this morning. Quite a fun group. I will have to try all the different mileage choices to see which one suits me best. Today I did the longer one, nearly 2 miles. By the time I was finished I was really done for the day. BUT I still had other things that needed doing.

Took the quilts to my friends house. Got to talk to her husband since she wasn't home. His mother just passed away about 10 days ago. He is handling the grief very well.

Went to my storage unit to take a couple of things over there. A set of steps to climb. I usually am able to park right at the door of the building my storage unit is in so other than the flight of steps, there isn't much walking there.

When I got home it was time to leave for John's soccer game so off we went. They won again this week 9 to 0. He got to play a lot more today than he did last week.

Stopped on the way home for ice cream which I didn't need but got because I was hungry. That totally blew my calories for the day. I didn't plan very well today for meals. Will know better for next Saturday.

I'm going to get off here for now and will be back tomorrow. Talk to you all later.
