OKAY. Alrighty then. I am up and going. Figured the day and have plans of walking two miles today in the heat of the day with sunshine on my face probably around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. This will be what I focus on. Vitamin D at work here. The track has 8 marked lanes so I will walk one time around the track in each lane. I'll take some water and rest afterwards. I might have to sit in between miles, but that's alright.
UPDATES. Hubby is working on finishing one of the garage doors. Two doors are needed. I'm so pleased and proud of the progress he has made on this project. Great Grand baby that is a premie is improving. Granddaughter that had a c-section is home and getting better. Family member that is in the middle of a career change is making progress, downsizing goes on. That saying, don't worry...be happy comes to mind. DON'T WORRY. BE HAPPY. I can't whistle, but I'll fake it.
My plans today are to walk, make a nice lunch and supper as we have already ate breakfast. Snack will be yogurt with fruit. Water and tea throughout the day. Do some laundry, bookkeeping and paperwork. Switch out greeting card boxes. Blog. Research whatever. Tidy more on Dining room. Dream and pray. Read the local newspaper and work on budget stuff. Fair enough day.
WALKING. The Kansas sky is bright blue and it is peaceful outside. Beautiful day for a springlike walk in the country. Some green leaves are popping through the ground by the base of the front yard tree. That's exciting. Not sure if these are tulip leaves or daffodils yet. During the month of March, I need to work at cleaning out the flowerbeds, walk, diet and empty the garage. That's the plan.
The chicken breasts for lunch are finished baking. I plan to go walking first before Lunch. After much thought I have a plan on how to get enough protein in each meal and work toward reducing. I'm sounding like a broken record. Having thyroid issues has made reducing incredibly difficult and I find myself in the twilight zone as for reducing. Do I continue to try to reduce or just accept that I am a difficult case and the weight may never come off? With switching out how I eat, I know I am healthier than before and this is a huge plus. I may be one of those peeps that's healthier carrying some extra weight on my bones verses getting skinny.
I'm not bragging, but I have been watching a multitude of reels and videos about reducing. Lord help me do this thing the right way. At the present, I believe that for breakfast I should continue eating Bob's Red Mill Scottish ORGANIC Oatmeal with sliced almonds, blueberries or other fruit on hand, cocoa, cinnamon and almond milk. Then on alternate days fix a dish with soy-free chicken eggs with half a plate of veggies. Two eggs plus one cup liquid egg whites for extra protein and veggies like spinach, broccoli or asparagus would be a great choice in the reducing party.
Lunches and Suppers each will have a choice of 4 to 6 ounces of meat, poultry or seafood along with half a plate of steamed, cooked or baked vegetables or a combination salad. Maybe when having cooked veggies, the other meal ought to have a combination salad for the veggies. So along the day, I'd have cooked veggies and raw.
When I have grass-fed beef for lunch, I'll switch the protein and have chicken, turkey, fish, lamb or venison. Skip the pork. Cut the carbs and sugar. Occasionally have a cup of rice or sweet potato. Evening SNACK will be yogurt and fruit or protein drink if hungry. SOUNDS EASY ENOUGH. The hard part is sticking to it for 3 months. I believe the weight WILL COME OFF. Staying consistent is harder than I want to admit. DISCIPLINE for the disciplined.
It doesn't sound very exciting, but when I accomplish a task, I get a lift in my spirit. I managed to organize my Christmas Greeting Cards and when I finished this, I was truly happy about it. This little task meant success.
