Trying to get to know ME..
I woke early this a.m., grabbed my clothes, popped on my shoes and leashed Jada. By 8:15 we had a 45 minute walk DONE! I seem to do better when I get the walk out of the way in the a.m. I don't have to worry about the heat of the day (Florida stinks during the day!) or getting too tired to do it by 6 p.m. Plus, I think it helps me keep on track because I start the day doing something that's good for ME; I keep focused better. Who wants to undo the good they've done? Of course, I have the option of *bonus* movement later in the day: another walk or time on the bike if the mood strikes me.

I had a granola bar and pear for breakfast. J is making chicken parm. for dinner (that man can cook!!). No, it's not vegan-ish, but I never said I was going meatfree cold turkey. Because it's such a heavy meal, I'll eat lite/vegan-ish all day to compensate for it. I think preplanning meals helps me a LOT! I'm trying to get dinner in by 4 or 5 p.m. so my body has more time to digest it before my 'night time freeze' hits. Night time freeze? No - it's nothing to do with temperatures; it refers to my lack of energy later in the day. I literally 'freeze' on the sofa, at the computer or some other stationary activity by 7 or 8 p.m. So I am trying to work WITH my body instead of constantly working against it. Yes, I can have a healthy snack around 9 or 10. 
I don't know if anyone reads what I write on here very often, but there's something about writing things down. A simple statement like I am going to eat x,y,z or do a,b,c somehow helps me. It's like I made a promise so I'm committed to it. I don't like to lie, so what I say I've done.. I've done. Weird?
Lunch was leftover speghetti squash medly in a burrito shell, with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese... yummo! I'm sure to make it again!![]()
