• Blech

    Feeling off. Sneezing and sore throat. Not.Going.To.Go.There. Felt so bad last night we ordered food and I didn’t screw around with removing buns, etc. I ate the whole freaking mess. Paid for it. Higher glucose numbers but I didn’t care. It happens.

    Finally received my Dance, dance revolution game and mat for the Wii. I was going to use it with walk it out. Well the damned thing made an ungodly amount of noise. Not good if you’re doing this in the early hours of the morning when others are asleep. It was slippery too.. big problem for a clutz. It also didn’t register steps. Ugh. Hubby’s taking it to work to give to someone who can use it.

    I wanted it because I thought it would be gentler on my feet. The board itself is rather hard on the tootsies after awhile. You can’t wear socks because you can slip. I placed another order this morning for a silicone cover for the board. (It has those annoying foot nubs on it so that meant an order for cushioned socks too. Foot issues.) I also ordered a cushion for the board. Supposedly you can use it on the board and walk on it. Some say it slips but I figure try the silicone cover and the cushion together
    on the board. Should keep it from slipping. If the cushion doesn’t work I’ll skip it and just use the cover with socks.

    Now to decide if I WANT to exercise this morning. I feel like crap but if I do nothing I’ll feel guilty. lol Maybe walk a mile or two instead of five.

    *Added

    The fuzzy butted felines I live with decided it was time for their slave to change the litter pan. I did as ordered and walked 1 mile. ENOUGH.


  • Breakfast Biscuit in a Cup

    I was wanting something but didn’t want to work too hard this morning. Whipped this up.

    4 Tablespoons Carbquick
    1/4 Teaspoon baking powder
    2 Tablespoons water
    1 Tablespoon davinci syrup (I used chocolate)
    Packet sweetener (I used Truvia)

    Mix pour into sprayed mug.
    Cover with plastic wrap. Poke with a knife.
    Cook in microwave for 2 minutes.
    (Might want to try a lower time. I liked it at 2 minutes)

    After thinking about it you could probably add some cocoa to it and adjust the liquid. It might be damned near a cake. I’ll have to try it.


  • It’s 11am and it’s been a LONG day

    I woke up early. Bitched and moaned.. it was 4am. Staggered into the kitchen and managed to make my old fashioned oatmeal without burning down the apartment. Checked my blood glucose level. Ate. Realized that I used to love oatmeal and now I loathe it. Turned on the Wii, plugged in my new headphones (no noise to wake others up), turned on “Walk It Out”, and walked/jogged for 5 miles.

    At that point everyone else woke up and my day began.. laundry day.. I *HATE* laundry day…


  • Adding more links

    I’ve been hauling a huge folder of shortcuts/bookmarks from computer to computer for years. I’m cleaning it out and tossing them up on the site. I will then need to sort them in some way. Maybe pages per subject.. like cookies, etc. Love all my food links!


  • Valentines Day

    I decided to make something for my Husband that he loves. Soft pretzels. Started early this morning and got them done by 11am, ordered a new blender and yogurt maker, walked 3 miles, ate lunch, walked 3 more miles and tasted a small pretzel. Not bad. I’m not a soft pretzel freak but it was pretty darned good.

    For dinner we’re having new york strips, asparagus, with a nice spinach salad. For dessert… dum de dum dum… sugar free cheesecake pudding. The pudding will wait until my snack time but it works.

    Then we’ll settle down and watch the last night of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show.

    That’s the way we roll.. fiery, exciting, passionate… sitting on our asses.

    We’re older. Cut us some slack!

    Oh! And I lost 3.7 pounds!

    Happy Valentines Day!


  • 6 miles a day

    Started walking 6 miles a day (split into two sessions of 3 miles each) during the week. On the weekends I’ll walk 2 miles each on both days.

    Big news… down to 255.5 from my starting point in November (292).


  • Sweat is fat crying

    It’s been sobbing like a baby the past few days! I bumped up my walking to 5 miles a day.. did that yesterday and walked another 5 today.

    I’ve seen some say you don’t get a workout with the Wii. Maybe if you only use the games included. With Walk It Out you do get a workout if you make certain selections. I walk to a few slower paced songs to warm up (10 minutes) then I select the faster songs. Gets your heart going and gets you sweating. At the end another 10 minutes of slower tempo songs. That’s an hour and 10 minutes of higher speed walking.

    Today I did about 10 minutes of resistance band work during the walk warmup. I have 1lb weights and 2lb wrist/leg weights I can use in various ways.

    I’d like to work up to 5 miles a day during the week and 3 miles on saturday and sunday. 31 miles a week ought to make a big difference for someone who used to do nothing at all!


  • Confession

    I surf food sites and drool over food I can’t eat..


  • Still fooling around with themes

    It would be nice to find something I like!


  • I found missing muscles this weekend

    I hit a plateau and wanted to change things up.. exercise-wise. I tried plank exercises. The first time I freaked out because my stupid cat decided to waltz UNDERNEATH me while I was doing it! I jumped back out of the way. Would have sucked to explain to my husband what the greasy spot on the floor was. I did it. The plank. Although for two days afterwards I hurt in places I hadn’t known could hurt. lol

    Tried it again today. Twice. Not a bad exercise although it’s not something I’d want to do in front of an audience!

    My blood sugars have stayed in normal ranges for about 2 or 3 weeks now.
