Good morning, everyone. Hope you'll awaken to a bright, sunny day. It will be cloudy here, and 66 but rain coming this afternoon and staying around for at least 12 hours. I have to take my granddaughter to an orthodontist appointment this afternoon in an unfamiliar part of town, so I'm not looking forward to driving in the rain.
Yesterday was another good day - the tenth in a row, judging from my walking record! Got in 1-1/2 miles yesterday. Did a almost 1/2 of a mile at the grocery store price monitoring and finished up that 1/2 mile at home. Then, I had to take my MIL to a dermatology appointment; so, while she was in the doctor's office, I walked along a nice sidewalk in front of the building. One round trip was a perfect 1/10th of a mile, so I did that five times. Next was BJ's. Only got in 3/10th of a mile in there, so I finished up the other 2/10ths at home to make it a neat 1-1/2.
Planned ahead for the MIL appointment, and took along four 8-oz bottles of water, all of which I drank while we were out. Finished out the day with just under 2 liters of Diet Coke. Still, better than the THREE liters I was drinking every day before I started cutting back. Small steps - but moving forward, PTL.
BIG NEWS on the exercise front. Remember I told you that I made a new exercise atomic (mini) goal to just WATCH one set a day of the Plus Size HIIT Workout? (An "atomic" goal is one that is an irreducible step of progress that may or may not lead to accomplishing more in a strategy toward a bigger goal.) Well, day before yesterday, I actually DID one of the exercises 10x. Yesterday, I did ALL of them but one (the "inchworm," which I won't be doing) for the whole 20 seconds each. I wasn't even winded. A couple of them are tricky with my bad knees, so I was very careful that I didn't twist them too much. Remember, this is ME, Debbie Cousins, the one who HATES exercise! ANY exercise is an accomplishment for me, so to do this in addition to my walking was nearing miracle status.
Eating choices have been good - lots of fruits and vegetables. Though nothing is restricted to me, I didn't have anything yesterday that could derail my nutritional progress. I've really been enjoying a daily smoothie with fresh strawberries, blueberries, grapes, banana, Greek yogurt (full fat) and milk. It makes enough to freeze an 8-oz container to have the next day as "ice cream." Quite yummy.
QUESTION: Does anybody know anything about these "Cotton Candy" type grapes? I've had them before, and they DO taste like cotton candy. I got some at the store yesterday that were "Grape Jelly" grapes, and they're the sweetest grapes I've ever tasted! How do they make these grapes so sweet? Is there something artificially added to them? It doesn't say on the packaging. Anybody have any knowledge about how they are made and whether they are a good snacking choice?
The End.
