Jam packed day

I worked my behind off yesterday to burn off some calories. I did my 5K virtual walk on a trail close to my house but, I was not wise to listen to advise and went on the hottest part of the day. It was soooooooo burning hot even with some shade. It slowed me way way down. I was proud that I finished it though even if it did take me an hour.
I then was so burning hot that I went to the pool and WOW it felt so wonderful!!! My family and I spent like two or three hours there enjoying the cool water and for the first time many neighbors who came down. I got to talk to some cool new neighbors. I paid hard for my day in the sun though with a blazing hot burnt face and arms and chest. Ouch. I learned that for me vasaline was a life savor--quickly took away pain but I had to cover up since it was oily.
Anyway cooked a new recipe and turned out so tasty. I loved it.

We then enjoyed some tv. I went to relax in my room in front of the fan and watch some netflix shows. All in all it was a great day and continued into today when I weighed myself and see that I have burned off 2lbs of the 3lbs I gained from my birthday. whoo hooo.

lost 15lbs. so far current weight: 200

Yummy

I loved the recipe I tried today. I probably could have made it more healthy but, I was okay with it. My family loved it also.

I made a video of it but, I am having trouble uploading it. I can add it once I work the issues out.
I mainly stayed indoors today because of the heat but, I am still working at changing my lifestyle. smiles.

I have the recipes for each thing I make so if anyone ever wants to try it I can give you the orginal recipe or my version whichever you like.

Birthday break

I had a blast celebrating my birthday the last few days. I am hoping however, that I did not gain back all the weight I have lost. lol. I gave into temptation with many foods and drinks. I received some very touching and fun gifts. I am now jumping right back into eating better and my exercise though because I don't want to go backwards. Here is the last meal I made before my birthday. It is a simple one but, still good.

I will have to look up and do exercise inside while watching television because I don't want to miss The Glass House or The Olympics but, I have to keep burning fat and calories. I am sorry I missed some days on my blog but, I was busy having fun. I am back on track now.

Just weighed and WOW! Just three days of eating not so great with sweets and
I gained: 3lbs. whaaaaaaaaaaaaa back in 200's --not happy with that but, more determined.
13lbs lost ......now

A Fun Exercise Day

Today was a great day for me. I started off having stomach pain and feeling bored but, things changed around. I ran my son around to his friends and drooled over all the pools by their houses wishing I could jump in just to come home and find out they finially opened our pool. Whoo Hoo. We went and had a blast in the refreshing pool. It was so fun and I got exercise.

I then came home and showered and jumped on making dinner. I made chicken fingers, mashed potatoes and salad. click on the link above to watch and learn how to cook it. 

We then stretched out and relaxed and watched an episode of "Dollhouse" and an episode of "King of the Hill"

How are you goals going?

What shows do you like to watch when relaxing?

Burning outside

It was so very hot that most of my day had to be spent inside. I did get some cookbooks to check out some new recipes. NOTE to those who want to PUBLISH a cookbook--please make them with photos of the food or even better photos of the steps. It really does not help much to have tons of cookbooks at my fingers but, not really be able to follow them by just reading --I have to see how to do it. Anyway, I found a few to look through.

Since it was too hot to go out and walk during the day I waited until the sun went down and then my husband and I went out for a walk. I loved how the street lamps on the route we took seemed to light the trees up green. It was a very peaceful walk.

After getting a little hot walking we came home to a nice cool treat of cantalope. Yum!
