I resisted temptation this morning. Had to drop my son off early for Jazz and on the way back I drive past Mickey D's. Oh I so wanted a Sausage and Egger. But I kept driving past and went home and had a bowl of granola. One battle won.
I am still having difficulty getting up and moving. I like the idea of wall push ups so tonight I will do my weights and wall pushups.
I have a new recipe for chicken and gnocchi for dinner tonight. I know my son and husband will cringe but we so need to get out of the rut of meat and potatoes. Oh gnocchi is potatoes just in a different shape. They don't do change well. This recipe also has kale in it which none of us have ever tried. This should be interesting.
Have a great day buddies!

Took my son and his two football buddies up to Camp Caroline for their band camp. I drove home by myself. It is about at 3 hour drive home. It was so beautiful. There were moments that took my breath away. We are not having the most wonderful weather here in Alberta this summer but because of all the rain the fields are still green intermixed with the golden yellow of fields that have given up their fruits. The sky wasn't sure if it wanted to storm or shine so the colours fought for control of the Alberta big sky. I so wanted to be lost in those moments and not return to the hurry up and get everything done before...I am not really sure before what but I always seem to be hurrying to get something done.
Today is the beginning of another week of new beginnings. This week I am to count calories. I have to count them, not the computer. The diabetes weight loss clinic wants my calories to be between 1300 and 1500 calories a day. I seem to be hovering around that figure but I bet I have been missing all the little calories we miss, like tasting food as it cooks, whats left on a plate, Oh I'll just have a little taste.
The last two weeks have been a blur. But my drive home made me stop for a moment and take a breath. I will slow it down and think about what I am grateful for everyday. I am really enjoying reading madaboutmoose's journals and I believe you are really on to something there. I think I will have a hard time being kind to myself. It has been a long time since I did that in a conscious way. Don't get me wrong, I have wonderful people who are very kind to me and love me, and there is never a moment I feel hard done by, but I have forgotten how to take care of myself other than the basic necessities. I will give it a go. Thus...
I am grateful I still have a chance to change. I am grateful for my family and friends. I am grateful for the home and food we have. I am grateful for everyone who has loved me throughout my life.
My goals this week are: Count my calories, Do my arm weights twice this week, Play Wii Fit with my son at least once this week, go for one walk.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and is exactly where they want to be in life.

I have had one heck of a week. First the stomach flu now a cold. Honestly I have not been very good on my calorie counting. I weigh in today and I am very scared. Oh well I cannot give up. Just go and see what the damage is and then move forward. It is all I can do.

I had a great food day yesterday. I ate exactly what I planned and I managed to downsize my portions. I then kept moving after eating by cleaning up my kitchen and doing laundry. I then helped my son study for a social exam. My downfall is sitting and sitting and sitting watching TV. Granted right now it is not so hard to stay away from the TV as nothing is much on, but the new season is going to be hard for me. I have to limit myself to just 3 hrs of TV and even that is a lot. Not only am I a foodaholic but I am also a TV junkie. I am going to hunt out that cross stitch I have been working on for the last 12 years and do that while I am sitting there. That will keep me from getting up and wandering to the fridge on commercials. (Though honestly that is the only exercise I was getting).
Today for exercise I am working the concession stand at my son's football game. I have to help set up and then work the store. That usually brings on a good sweat. Hopefully that counts towards exercise.
It is a beautiful bright blue day here in Alberta. I am feeling well. My daughter is back at university, my son is all caught up in his football and my husband...is my husband. Life is pretty darn good right now and I am very grateful. Have a great Friday everyone.

Not sure what happened but I was hit with some kind of stomach upset yesterday. I couldn't even keep water down until about 9pm last night. I did manage to get some chicken noodle soup and fruit to stay down late last night.
So I will repeat my goals for yesterday for today. I am still a little shaky so we will see about the exercise. I also have to come up with a pasta meal for us as my son has to bulk up on pasta tonight as he has a football game tomorrow. I think I will do the spaghetti squash trick for myself.
Have a great day everyone.
To Linda: How can I see anything on your page?
