Good morning as @epcotisbest would say my house arrest is over. I'm doing better every day so I kicked it up to LS' Ultimate 5 day, I did 5 miles with very little modifications. I'm most happy that I had just about full range with kickbacks and no problems with the plyo portions. Somehow and I don't quite know how the first quart of nondairy yogurt is totally gone and a good third if not more of the dairy(2qt batch) is missing:cautious: I guess I'm making a 1/2 gallon batch at a time from now on. :banghead: Have a great weekend and be heathy

OK, just wanted to share this as I have been talking a lot about eating better. Well, that did not happen today.
We volunteer with a couple of non-profits and today was a fundraiser, bake-off and we were judges, along with a couple of others. There were two rounds of competition between nine teams of bakers creating displays and decorating some very delicious cupcakes.
Of course, along with technical merit, there were several other categories including theme, design, teamwork, and taste.
So here I am, diabetic (they did not know this when they asked me to be a judge, and I did not mention it and was glad to lend a hand) and I only took small bites of each entry, enough to get an idea of how good it was.
It was fun, but I know I consumed a ridiculous amount of calories, and about a gazillion grams of sugar. It was worth it, but I can really tell this sugar high is going to last awhile.
Anyway, just felt like sharing...hope I did not bore you too much.

Good morning. I'm doing a happy dance as I did Yoga Works beginner's DVD. I like that one because it seems to get everything in line and stretched out. I'm also beyond happy i don't have any loss in range of motion, I was a bit worried. So with the rain coming down today I'm out to stock up on all sorts of healthy food including extra lean ground turkey which is on sale. BTW the turkey isn't for me LOL Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Bore us? Hardly! I think that was a very nice gesture that you wanted to help out the fundraiser. You get extra points for that! :)

So I thought starting this week, I'd begin to cut down a bit on some of the sweets that I eat. (I'm not eliminating junk completely, but cutting back.) I found that Libby's has these 4-pack, individual portions of green beans, or corn, or carrots. Bought a pack of each. All you have to do is nuke the little container for 30 seconds, and you have hot, cooked veggies. When I come home from work during the week, I don't cook. I sort of snack on hummos and/or cheese and crackers, or instant spuds, or instant mac and cheese. Then maybe a cookie, or some candy, and milk. So I thought if I added a nuked veggie cup some nights, instead of the sweets, that would be healthier. :)

Oh, almost forgot--Del Monte has the same type of 4-pack, individual sized fruit cups of pineapple and other varieties. I bought a few packages and put in refrigerator; maybe for variety, some nights I'll have those instead of the veggie cups. :happy:

No loss in range of motion means PT paid off and you took the recovery process seriously. Way to go!

You will be surprised what a difference in cutting out sweets makes. And honestly, once you cut way back, you will crave them less. I don't really understand it, but for me, I used to crave, even dream about sweet, gooey desserts and really bad for me stuff. I thought Little Debbie snack cakes were a food group. Now, I have not had one in so long I don't really remember. Of course, Saturday's little adventure made up for not having any sweets.
Good for you on the veggies...we have been eating a lot more veggies and are always stocking up when they are on sale.

That's a wonderful idea, every thing helps. Do you have a salad bar where you can get decent pre cut veggies? That and a healthy dressing might be another good addition
