@trooworld Good job on the gym and only eating half of a grilled cheese sandwich. I seldom eat one when at a restaurant but splurged on one when I was In Yellowstone That was yummy gooey cheese! It definitely wasn’t in the cards for you to eat that chicken! Hi, all. It is really hot here. Luckily DH and I have access to an indoor pool. Swimming laps was nice. As I mentioned earlier, dinner is salad and 2 ingredient pizza. I made homemade Ranch dressing, only to find my dill plant in the front yard was fried. So I texted DS to get me some on the way home from work.

@fabgeekmom Thank you ! Yeah I couldn't believe I dropped all that food lol. I bet it did feel nice to swim in the pool. Too bad about your dill. I hope the pizza was good.

Hi all. Traffic was light on the way home but I didn't end up doing a work out, I took it as a rest day. Couple of reasons for that: I went hard at working out all weekend and then as I was taking Violet out, she got out of her harness ran up to this big husky dog and was barking at him. It shook me up so badly, I needed to sit down and calm down. So, hopefully traffic is light tonight.

Water yesterday: 40 oz

@trooworld It’s good to take a day off from exercise. That was scary that your dog was barking at a big dog. She probably thought she was protecting you from the dog. Hi, all. It’s really hot here. The high today was 97 or over 100 with the heat index. I ride my recumbent bike. I had a doctor’s appointment to check my blood levels. All was good. DS made paella on the grill for dinner. It was really good. We leftovers for tomorrow and probably another day,too. The recipe was supposed to serve 8. The servings must be really large. I don’t think I could eat that much!

@trooworld that ’s a scary experience with the dog. There are tons of dogs around here, and there always seems to be lots of issues. I guess with careless owners that let their dog off leash when they shouldn’t and so on.

@fabgeekmom it has been crazy hot here too . The humidity and heat was causing a pool of water in my bathroom- a little pool, but still not good lol. So I had to turn the AC on. I don’t like using it, bc my condo is always pretty cool, but the humidity in the air was too much. So I literally had AC on and then needed sweaters and blankets.

I also love grilled cheese! Honestly, I eat a ton of cheese. It is my go to snack.

I;ve been doing well tracking. I have to go downtown today which is always a drag. But tomorrow night I’m trying a new class- it is a Mobility type of class, so I’m curious about it. I have a lot of muscle tightness so hoping it will help with stuff like that. It’s supposed to be a slow paced class.

@fabgeekmom Yeah maybe , she is afraid of everything so she may have thought she was protecting me or she may have been scared. Oh wow, that's hot! Good job with the bike. I'm glad your blood levels were good. That paella sounds good.

@its _cleo Yes! Ugh, it was awful. We have that problem with off-leash dogs, too. In our complex, there is a condo that just opens their door and lets the dog out. The dog is a little Yorkshire terrier, and it runs around in the parking lot (I'm afraid it's going to get hit!), and poops in the common areas and they don't pick it up. There's another guy that does something very similar. Rude people! I love cheese, too. It's a good snack. Good job with tracking! I hope your trip downtown is okay. That sounds like an interesting class. I hope it helps.

Hi all. I had a 90-minute meeting at work yesterday for a committee I am on now. At least they gave us lunch: Panera, I could choose a salad or a sandwich and I chose an Asian chicken salad. It ended up being very similar to what I made for dinner, so in hindsight, I would have chosen a different salad. The day went by pretty quickly since I had that long meeting and then my lunch. I got home and did a 20-minute cardio boxing workout on YouTube. I wouldn't do that particular video again as it did a lot of things that were out of my abilities, involving jumping and other movements bad for my knees. But I'll keep looking and find a better workout for me. I was wearing a blazer that a former coworker gave me so I had a coworker take a video of me wearing it to send to my former coworker. In the video, I turned slowly around 360 degrees. It was the first time I had seen myself like that, full body from all angles. I could really tell that I had lost weight.

Water yesterday: 64 oz

@its_cleo Good job with tracking. I had to laugh at the image of you wearing a sweater and covering up with a blanket because the AC was on. DH and I wear flannel shirts year round. And we have our blankets to cover up, too. The mobility class sounds interesting. I hope it helps. @trooworld That’s terrible that people are so rude with their dogs. It’s always good when a day at work goes by fast. Too bad about the salad. That’s cool about the jacket and you seeing how much weight you have lost. Hi, all. Dinner was good last night and we will eat it again tonight. Today is a swim day.
