Surprise! I found this little frog by Max's food dish! Max was messing with something, I figured maybe a bug, but nope a baby frog! Mom was over visiting so I called her like the old days, "Moooooooooooooom!" ha ha ha She came, picked him up and I had to get a photo! Then out she took him to the yard by our rock fountain. But what a little treat of surprise today!
I was really hungry after working this morning - bad me, I skipped breakfast. Not on purpose, just because I got busy. So I chopped up my usual while talking to the kids and mom and before I knew it I made a ginormous salad and put dressing on it already! I'm the only one who likes Greek Vinegarette so I was stuck eatting it. I had no problem devouring it!
Doesn't it look good?!?! Although large!
I like to make my own basic salad with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes if I have them, black olives and pepperonchinos. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on it and mix it up!
I had another frustrating day and of course, my feet hurt. I know I need to do something about it, but also tend to think - what are they gonna say? Wear better shoes. Well I've been down that road already haven't I? Yet I've found myself Googling local podiatrists. I think I've found one I'd like to make an appointment with, but I just haven't done it yet. I really wanted to get out and sweat again today. My blisteres are still tender so I couldn't walk. I've been thinking about getting my bike out. I like to bike, but I think it's more dangerous around here with lack of shoulders and sidewalks. So I figured I'd just ride down to the park and around. My husband said, maybe just 2 laps the first day. And because I'm, well, accident prone. LOL Well I went but did 4 laps for a total of 3.8 miles. I know it's not a whole lot, but the park is up hill, down hill, up hill, down hill, and being my first day I thought I did well.
Me and my bike, of course, it's red!
That is a busy picture, sorry ! Lots in the back ground and around! LOL
After I got home, I water the plants again and picked a few tomatoes
It seems everyone is talking about goals lately. Bob Harper has a Boost wall on Facebook through Anthem BCBS. Yesterday's challenge was drinking at least 10 glasses of water a day. Ha - no problem, but when I woke up today I felt DEhydrated?!?!? I still continued to drink drink drink water today, though. And today's challenge was 20 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week. And I did that today, too!
I looked at total weight loss the past 3 week and it was a whopping 1.8 pounds. The at is not very impressive. I need to step it up. I hope biking does that. I guess I'm not sure what kind of goals to set. Heck I'd like to lose 5 pounds a week, but that sure isnt possible based on my track record.
So tangible goals are 10 glasses of water a day and 20-30 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week for me seems good. Maybe if I focus on those goals, then my 5 lb a week dream goal would happen.
