Here's what my diet & exercise day looks like so far, today:
-Got up late
-Helped my son deep clean his room
(I'm sure that burned a few calories today,
I was sweating when we were done)
-Walked quite a bit on my errands earlier
-Meals for today:
Breakfast: once slice of multigrain bread w/ peanut butter, cup of coffee, 2 oranges.
Lunch: two 16 oz jars of water, one apple, two slices of sharp cheddar cheese, 7 rosemary wheat thin like crackers.
Supper: (it's in the oven roasting) Carrots, Parsnips, Beets, Baby Red Potatos w/ a chicken dressed in a scrub of olive oil & spices: white pepper, black pepper corns, minced garlic, nutmeg and a splash of curry. It has a Meditterranean taste of sorts that my son even likes.
I need to up my water intake though before supper.
Might have a cup of tea before bed tonight too (that's my dessert because supper is kind of on the rich side).
ps/ Jo's chicken and Medusa's chili may find it's way on a menu at my house soon.
pps/ one time, quite a few years ago when I had health insurance, a doctor said to me that when I exercise to make sure that once I broke into a sweat to keep that pace up for at least another 15 to 20 minutes, if I could tolerate it. I didn't do it all the time but when ever I want to break a plateau, I do it (within reason).
