It's been a pretty good day for me. I decided to go with what I feel like doing any which given day when it comes to the walking (ok, food too, maybe, sometimes, when I can't help it:~). If I feel like doing it, I will. Who knows how long I can keep up with my own craziness anyways, lol. And it's not like I do myself any harm by walking, especially since it's not all cardio, it's a lot of moving around and keeping busy. Even if the cardio #s seem high it doesn’t mean I have been killing myself, more likely just been bouncing from one place to another, that’s all. And all the things I get done around here, what a bonus!!!

Today’s To Do List!!
Today will be a marathon walking day! This fiddle f@#$@$% around just doesn’t work for me!!
1.Laundry,
2.Vacuuming
3.tackle one of the bedrooms and sort through things for the donation pile (since the move and remodel the 2 bedrooms down stairs are pretty much storage rooms for things that need to be out of the way. This semi unorganized lifestyle is really bugging me sometimes)
12 pm: taken a little break from doing stuff around the house.
I have been spending quiet a bit of time in one of the extra rooms. And I have been getting rid of a lot of stuff. I was thinking garage sale, most of the things are in great condition, but man that’s a project in itself. I think the local thrift store will be able to get a good buck for some of the things and after all it’s for a good cause.
2:30pm Back from the neighbors watering all the plants they have in the pots
2: 45 pm just finished cooking a huge meal, which will be enough for dinner as well. Unfortunately this will also be the first I am having today. Once I get busy I forget about food!
Chow Time!!
After having a portion it turns out to be enough for 2 more mealsJ (each approx. 201 calories). One more for dinner and tomorrow lunch. Like to have some fruit today as well. A big Bowl of Berries!!
3:45pm Crunches done!!
4:30pm: I FEEL GOOD!! Trying to get the hammock hooked up between the tree. Something is missing. Bummer, wanted to lay in it for a while this evening and watch the sunset
5:30pm Fruit Yogurt and weetabix (307)
I am going to try some upper body weight training today. Gosh, it starts piling up, it’s getting more and more to do. Let’s see how things will go. I am still working on remembering to do crunches. How will I remember to do all the other exercises??
6:50pm Arms/Shoulders done
Maybe I should try push ups instead??. Would give me the most bang. Argh, I don’t know. I just have to see how I feel about doing all of this now. I don’t want to get burned out!
7:30pm picked some fresh tomatoes from the garden. I will have those with dinner, Yum!!
I can’t believe how much stuff there is in those tiny rooms!!! Lots will go to the thrift store on Monday. I will work on the other room tomorrow and maybe I’ll can put a dent into my “office space” upstairs as well.
8:15pm had one too many ice cream sandwiches for dessert (more like two ). I love skinny cows! They have been for a couple of month in the freezer and nooww?? I have to dig into them?
But I managed to get close to most of the nutrients I needed for the day!
I am ready to call it a day!! It’s been a good day. I am happy with all I got accomplished today!!
I have to put a list together with foods & certain nutrients that are easily accessible for me when I am short at the end of the day!
