Walking, And My Darling Clementine

Saturday, December 15, 2012

Today I ignored my fears about what others might think and walked to town. It's 4 1/2 mi. to the first place I needed to go (the Radio Shack for a memory card for my camera), and another 1/2 mile uphill to the grocery store (heart monitor hit the upper 140's - my little fitbit flower was overjoyed). Caught a taxi ride home. I ended up with a little over 7 miles for today. I'm resting. My fitbit is resting. We're both recharging our batteries.

AND. I finally managed to get in all my calories and all my carbs without going way over on my fats. I snacked profusely on clementines. Oh yea, I also had a smoothie for breakfast. Then I got too busy to have my usual habitual mid-morning hunger. Did I mention that I put my ham and cheese into the food processor to make lunch? Not only did it make a great ham salad, but somehow, when my back was turned, about a cup of mustard greens got ground up in there too. Yummy.

    Ahhh. Clementines. My favorite snack this time of year! I always carry a few with me on my daily walks.

    I like that person who put mustard greens in your blender when your back was turned (smile).

    Wow, that's a great walk. I have to have enough protein in the morning for breakfast in order to make it to lunch without a snack. (No second breakfast allowed for me!) Apparently, Pickie has never had ham salad. I've never put mustard greens in ham salad. Pickle relish, yes. My favorite greens are kale and spinach!

    I'm really going to have to get a fitbit, they seem to be so much fun!

  Awesome walk. I wondered what the flower and some kind of weird little creature on my Fitbit. I need to find out what it is telling me! Oh and the Hobbit joke....I recognize that kind of humor in my DH! Funny emoticon

    Wow, you have some good ideas. I love the greens that snuck in to your ham salad.
I'm very impressed with your walk too! emoticon
