working out for Disney

[Sans Souci]

Hello-

I finally went for a walk this week. I got a new set of headphones and they sound great. I love listening to music when I walk.

I did a low impact DVD called "Slide and Glide." It uses glider discs so your heart rate goes up without impact. I always forget how fun this work out is. It was perfect for a tight and sore back. I think it might be back to normal tomorrow.

I made a chicken and veggie curry with brown rice. It was OK.

Those look scrumptious! (All you need is a glass of milk.)

I made beef stew in the crockpot over the weekend. We're having some heated up leftovers tonight, since I'm home on vacation. It's fun to have dinner at a normal time for a change, like most people!

Enjoy your week off. Leftovers are awesome for ease of dinner prep.

I made this for dinner Monday and I thought of you. The cashew lemon sauce is delicious. I've been making this every week. I just add my own spices to the chickpeas. I like to use smoked paprika, cayenne, and madras curry powder on them.

Another. The wind was blowing a little, you can see how the petals are different in each pic due to the breeze, so I only got a couple of pics close to in focus.

Thanks! Your beef stew sounds good. I haven't made beef stew in years. Yayy for normal dinnertime.

Looks delicious. It's been a long time since I've had oatmeal raisin cookies. I might have to make some this weekend. I have an itch for baking.

Thanks they are good! Yeah I got in that baking mood yesterday.

Good morning. Not doing a lot today. Just some puttering about and see what I get into. Yoga today.
Dinner will be leftover pulled chicken and coleslaw again since DH is out of town until late.

I bought her app, and then I realized it was the same content as her website. It was only a couple of bucks and I do use it on my iPad when I cook.

Hello-

I went for a stroll early this morning and then I did a kettlebell workout. Luckily, it didn't bother my back today. I have no idea why that happened on Tuesday.

Lovely. I had no idea hibiscus grew as far north as GA. I always think of them being in tropical locales.

You are right. They would not survive planted in the ground as far north as we are. We have several in large planter pots that have to be brought in to the basement in the fall/winter. They survive OK, going kinda dormant, then in late spring, after any chance of frost is gone, we bring them back outside for the summer.

Happy farm market Friday. Day5 yoga with Tim, I know it's not right but I'm not used to a male directing the practice. Something for me to work on. Tonight's dinner will be determined by the selection at the farm market and the sales at my gazillion other errands I have to run today. I'm going to make the most of the yucky day here

@epcotisbest how's your sugar? You haven't mentioned it in a while and do worry about it.

@epcotisbest how's your sugar? You haven't mentioned it in a while and do worry about it.

Good morning and thanks for asking. I appreciate the concern. The truth is my sugar numbers have been consistently high this summer, and it is my own fault. I so enjoy fried squash, fried okra, tomato biscuits, fried green tomatoes, watermelon, grilling stuff covered in BBQ sauce and lots of other things that I should not be eating, and have been eating them anyway. My own fault.
I also use the heat of summer as an excuse to not walk as much as I should. Yes, there are other alternatives I could take, but usually if it is not convenient I will just find a way to avoid extra exercise.
I can and do still control things with medication, but until I get serious and committed to proper and strict diet and exercise, the two things that make the most difference in controlling the diabetes, the numbers are going to be high and the health suffer as a consequence.
I feel sure I will get my head right and start being more disciplined. It is easy for me to say "the time to start is now." OK, now just passed and I am still up to my old ways. I'll get more serious I'm sure.
Today is my birthday, 57 and counting, and I do want to reach 58.
