working out for Disney

These lavendar colored ones are pretty. They don't fill in as thick as the red ones, but the individual blooms are much bigger.

One of the Japanese maples is filling in nicely too.

Love the pretty flower pictures, but the ones that really caught my attention were the Japanese maples. I don't think I've ever heard or seen those before. They're outstanding.

So sometimes when my wife is away I congratulate myself for not eating junk food, and tonight is no exception. I resisted the urge to grab some fast food or pizza and instead diced up a small sweet potato, topped the pieces with some garlic salt and crushed red peppers and roasted them with a little olive oil. Also had half an avocado drizzled with lemon juice and topped with a dollop of salsa and had a piece of Sam's Club rotisserie chicken to go with it. This made for a tasty and colorful meal that was lower in calories and carbs than pizza or BK.
Since I had to go to the airport and back, I could have stopped at any number of places and consumed mass quantities of calories and carbs, but no, I came home and had this, and liked it.

Oh, and because I was slowed to a crawl for a bit on the downtown connector and I stopped at Sam's where I wandered aimlessly, she got checked in, through security, boarded, flew to NY, and landed at LaGuardia before I got home from the airport road trip.

I didn't do a workout today per se. I spent 12 hours cooking so I can take some time and get things done including walking OUTSIDE this week. The weather fools had better be right

I admire your willpower -- it's really hard to turn down easy, read-to-eat food along the way. Although, what you made above it better than anything you could have bought along your travels.

Pretty azaleas! Our reds are just starting to open. I’ll try to post a picture when they’re full.

Raining here. May postpone grocery shopping until tomorrow. Walking inside if it doesn’t stop today. Dinner is leftover chicken bbq and veggies.

OMG, you guys, I'm exhausted!! I worked today and it was so busy that I worked an extra 45 minutes and I worked REALLY hard. So between that and all the stuff at home, I've spent 9 out of the 10 hours on my feet/exercising. My cracker, of course, only registered 3 hours of movement, and while it says I've done almost 30,000 steps, it says I've only burned 1070 calories....it says I walked 22km, and it only registered a 3rd of the time I was moving, so does that mean it's only registering 1/3 of the other things? I can't imagine that 9 hours o!!f movement translates to only 1070 calories burned!

@epcotisbest , you've inspired me to get some rotisserie chicken at some point this week....it looks SO good.

It is very versatile and you can make lots of things with it. I have used shredded rotisserie chicken as a base for soups and Brunswick stew, and when the fresh tomatoes come in in a few months, I like cold rotisserie chicken with sliced tomatoes and mayo on a sandwich. It is good as a quick lunch too. Lots of uses.

With apologies to Monty Python:
This cracker is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!..... THIS IS AN EX-Cracker!!
