Weight is up about 1/2 lb today. Not really concerned though....I pushed my calorie limit yesterday (1800), but pretty sure I didn't go over it. Most likely the burger I had at a restaurant for lunch was the culprit...I loaded it with healthy toppings, but the amount of sodium in pretty much anything at a restaurant is enough to cause a little fluctuation. I'm sure it will be back on track in another day or so.
The knee pain is much better today, so I'm hoping to get a few minutes of exercise. I have to visit a friend in the hospital today...relatively young woman still, dealing with complications of diabetes that wasn't kept in check. She has heart problems now, among other things. Inspires me to keep pushing, to try and get myself healthier. I am "borderline", and need to do all I can to keep it from progressing.
Had my first ever breakfast smoothie this morning, and it was good! Spinach, pineapple, mango, banana, coconut water, and flaxseed. I really wanted to chew something, though, and finally gave in to that urge and had some almonds and walnuts. I like the smoothie idea though...it's usually so difficult to get all the servings of fruit and veggies that I need.
No eating out today....getting back to normal. Making pork stir-fry and brown rice for lunch. For dinner, I'll be on my own so making a chicken fajita out of some leftover chicken tenders. I have to figure out some sides and snacks, because so far my plan for today is only about 1200 calories.
