20 minute walk yesterday at work.

Dinner was very filling: wild rice, quinoa, stir-fry vegetables, beef patty.

Went to baseball game; had a chai tea latte while there.

Back at home snacked on crackers and cheese.

Good Day.

coffee, ff creamer

wild rice, quinoa, stir-fry veggies and beef patty

yogurt, blueberries

Another 15-20 minute walk at lunchtime today

Tonight might watch the end of the Ladies' British Open first round. I am coming upon a three-day weekend (Monday is our Civic Holiday). Saturday must pick up a used dresser and chair I bought for the spare room (finally furnishing it with something other than beds and stuffed toys), then major yard work. Sunday more yard work. Monday more yard work, but a "sleep in later than usual" lazy morning. Also have some house work to do.

Only the 15 minute walk for exercise yesterday; I lounged around at home after work and then went to the baseball game.

Fart, there's so much I have to do; i've been procrastinating almost everything. Need to get moving! Sigh, probably won't be today though.

I accidentally purposely bought fast food for dinner yesterday. However, I didn't binge - had some sunflower seeds at the baseball game and a snack of crackers and cheese when I got home afterwards, and that was it. Major improvement over the day before, with the pb & j binge.

I wish today was Friday. Also people in this town need to start expecting less of me; I am sick of constantly disappointing both myself and others. So sick of it that i'm ready to sell my house and move. Seriously. I was looking at jobs this morning and I found one in the city that I would be able to do and would probably pay more. Seriously considering this. Doesn't hurt to apply for it, even if I change my mind in the end.

This morning has been a bit of a whirlwind at work and i'm frustrated and can't wait for lunchtime to walk some of it off.

After work yesterday, I ate a chocolate bar while putting my car through the car wash. Then it started raining. Bloody hell.

Got home and started cooking:

Wild rice and quinoa, stir-fried vegetables, steamed carrots and a beef patty (no bun)

pb and j sandwiches (binge). AWE. SOME.

Ended up not reaching my water goal.

I did a cardio combat workout last evening; only made it 15 minutes into the workout but it's a start. Strange to not feel limber or reflexive anymore. I think a lot has changed since knee surgery. With my 15 minute walk at lunch, that made 30 minutes of activity yesterday.

 I Can't bring myself to play ball; I am frustrated with a few teammates, and also the fact that so many people show up to play; we sit the bench almost every 2nd inning. Not cool with me. I could be doing something far more productive, even if - like last night - I don't. The point is that I could be. End Vent.

Today:

Green smoothie - almond milk, yogurt, 1/2 banana, spinach

Coffee with ff creamer

cream of potato and bacon soup, caramel swirl muffin

yogurt, blueberries

Been feeling weird lately, can't explain it. Just off. Lethargic. Slow.

Napped after work; pulled some weeds; tried out the weed trimmer. Stronger arms may be required.

Did NOT eat well but won't dwell on it. A new day today.

It didn't start well, though - I wanted to walk again. When I left the house it was raining, so with a heavy heart I decided not to walk and to drive instead. Half an hour later, when I left to drive to work, the sun was shining and no rain whatsoever. Someone is plotting against me.

Jet Fuel coffee 1/2 cup; bagel with light cream cheese

coffee with ff creamer at work

cream of mushroom soup for lunch

snack of an apple and ff yogurt

It was a good weekend; had lots of fun with family being down and "fair days" on the weekend.

Friday: golfed, switched off walking and driving, so maybe 60 minutes walking / dinner was salad, baked chicken, veggies / small s'mores blizzard / went to outdoor movie / watched fireworks.

Saturday: coffee, donut, Phillipine spring rolls and pork kebab, taste of sticky rice pudding, lemonade, wild rice and quinoa mix, chips / watched parade / walked to check out street fair, 45 minutes / relaxed and did some reading / went to baseball game / nixed the street dance and went home instead (I do not regret).

Sunday: coffee, bagel with light cream cheese, peanut butter and jam sandwich, A&W meal / got groceries, walked 30 minutes / road trip to pick up new weed trimmer / relaxed and watched RBC Canadian Open. Good job Sneeds, too bad Mahan.

I was up with the sun this morning (lol, ok not quite). I was going to walk to work, but then I checked the weather report and decided i'd rather not walk in the rain if I don't have to. Plus, I woke up with pain in the ball of my left foot - weird! Hopefully I will still get my walk in at lunchtime.

Maybe golf today, maybe ball, maybe try out the new weed trimmer (without slicing my ankles or whipping the tops of my pepper plants right off).

I scored the afternoon off work yesterday so that my uncle and I could go golfing, and about half an hour after I left work, it started to rain. And then it poured a little bit. And rained some more.

When our tee time came around, we 1) could still see it drizzling outside, and 2) were on a skype call with another uncle who is hilarious and pretty much does all the talking in a conversation. We cancelled the golf outing in favor of staying inside where it was warm and dry, and splitting some guts listening to my other uncle yak away ;)

I still managed to get my laundry done and clean the kitchen, and took my 15 minute walk in the morning while still at work.

A few of us went for DQ ice cream; I had the mini oreo blizzard. And then I saw that they have that new kind here; S'MORES. Might be going back to DQ tonight. Just saying.

Dinner was okay but I overdid it; a few slices of vegetarian pizza and a tossed garden salad. I think I overate because my water intake was far lower than usual. I'm going to try hard to make sure I get lots of water in, because it's back to Grandma's today for another dinner that will likely not be the healthiest in the world.

And if it's nice out after work, i'll take my uncle golfing. As you can tell, I really want to golf with him while he's here!

A couple of important things happened yesterday; my aunt, uncle and their kids arrived in town, and my lawn got cut. By the neighbor.

I'm telling you, the best way to get someone to do something for you is:

1) don't do it until it bothers them so much they have to

2) make it look like you've gone camping for two weeks and just didn't have time

Fortunately, my neighbor didn't cut it in anger, he just thought i'd gone with door #2. LOL.

LMAO.

Oh, Gawd, it's hilarious really.

No exercise yesterday except for my walk at lunchtime, had a nice visit with the relatives and promised a cruise around town (maybe for ice cream) with my cousins tonight and possibly a round of golf this afternoon, if I can get the time off work, although I can't see that being a problem unless all hell breaks loose.

Good eats until later on in the night when I went to a convenience store and purchased a small bag of doritos. I was very tired, but apparently not tired enough to get in my car and drive for potato chips. I don't remember the entire drive there, may have been wearing my pajama's by then, and really hope my slurred 'hellooooooo' to a fellow co-worker while waiting to purchase said chips didn't make him think I was intoxicated.

So yeah. Can't wait to see what happens today!

I went golfing yesterday; did 9 holes and was pretty much exhausted by the end. Apparently, a 15 minute walk everyday at lunchtime does NOT a cardio workout make.

I had plenty of varying eats yesterday and ended slightly over calories (it was a hungry day) but I kept mainly to healthy foods and limited my snacking as well. It's all good. Lots of water too.

It had been awhile since i'd had a nice, relaxing bath instead of a hurried shower, so last night I took the time to do this. I felt very sleepy afterwards, and fell asleep fairly quickly - in comparison to my usual three hours of fidgeting, squirming, and tossing around before falling asleep. I must try to do this more often during the week.

Ball is on the schedule tonight, but I might go to a friend's bbq instead. And hopefully now that my spirit is in a better place, I can motivate myself to get the yardwork completed before the weekend; I believe my aunt and her family will be down for a visit so it would be nice if I could clean it up a bit.

Plan - coffee, rice and maybe soup?, cinammon crackers, turkey sandwich x 2, lots of water.

I don't know what's going on with me lately, but I wish it would stop. I almost started bawling yesterday simply because my mother was being her typical controlling self. Even right now as I type that, my eyes rolled up. What's up? Who cares? It's never bothered me like this before. I need a mental health day. Also? I am STILL craving pickles. None of this makes any sense. I've gone through three jars in the same number of weeks. That's ridiculous.

While I go temporarily insane, here were my eats from yesterday:

Breakfast - coffee with ff creamer x 2, water with crystal light

Lunch - quinoa, wild rice, blackened chicken, water with mio

Afternoon - another water with crystal light

Dinner - turkey sandwich, lots of pickles x 2

Snack - piece of milk chocolate with nuts x 2, yogurt covered pretzels x 3

 Exercise yesterday was slo ----- pitch LOL. It was alright. Maybe today I will golf.

Well my friends, it just so happened to rain on Friday as well as the weekend.

But I still managed to watch some fastball games; drive to the place my Dad used to live when he was a boy; get in a lot of visiting; eat a lot of food, and read two books.

What I didn't manage to do was the yardwork. I'm okay with this.

What I also didn't manage to do was decipher how to use my DVD player with my new(ish) cable provider. I am an Information Technology reject. I spent close to an hour trying to solve the riddle before finally getting so frustrated that I turned everything off and refused to even watch t.v.

So, no insanity DVDs until I get that figured out. I did get some walking in on the weekend, though not as much as I would've liked. Que Sera.

It's Monday! Woohoo! I can feel the adrenaline of a brand new week coming at us and kicking us in the a$$!

I was up late reading so this morning came quickly, but i'm making it through :)

Foods - coffee, yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, quinoa, wild rice, blackened chicken, pm snack, dinner might have to be subway to save some time.

Exercise - slopitch

My goal for tonight is to get the front lawn cleaned up. Gonna have to take the yard in zones now, since i've left it so long it's not something that can be done all at once. Pull the weeds, trim the trees, and mow the lawn. Do-able. Has to be done tonight, because this is the only day it's not supposed to rain!!!
