I haven't tried the tracker yet. Good to know it's working for you.
I walked nearly 6,000 steps today and did 20 minutes of stretching in my room this evening.0 -
Oh man, KC barbeque is often mentioned when I watch the BBQ competitions on TV! Yum! I had some hamburger with BBQ sauce and some diced carrots last night for dinner. It was pretty good. Less than a Tbsp of the sauce so the sugar in it shouldn't be too much.
I did do laps around the house yesterday, 10 of them. When that doesn't hurt my back I will add more, trying to get my steps up to 2,000 a day!0 -

7,000 steps today. Heading home from Houston tomorrow early morning. Up at 4am for a 5:45 shuttle pickup... my flight is at 8am. So heading to bed around 9pm in order to get 7 hours of sleep.0

Thursday:
Brunch: One slice grilled cheese (dry), 1oz pretzels
Dinner: 2 egg white/1 egg scramble, homemade low sodium turkey sausage, small serving hash browns (no fats used), 2 slices wheat toast
Snacks: 3 hershey hugs, greek yogurt, almonds
Calories: 982
Carbs: 98 - I need to made some changes to lower this. I could have gotten by with one slice of toast at dinner, and I could have had a string cheese instead of the hugs (but that would have raised my Sat Fats). I also could have used a better quality cheese for brunch (but I am trying to get rid of the cheap stuff).
Sat Fats: 13 (@ goal)
Cholesterol: 288 (just 12 under goal - that egg!)
No walk today due to storms, I should have used the treadmill, but...0 -

No real walk today due to rain and storms, but did get out and walk around a couple of stores, so it wasn't a total loss.0 -

Brunch: 1 cup slow cooker chicken taco stew. 1 SF jello
Dinner: 1/2 cup taco stew, 3/4 cup spaghetti, 1 cup spaghetti

No exercise today...just chilled out. I guess I got out of the habit.0 -
Only 2,600 steps today. A lot of sitting at two different bridal showers.
Early morning: 2 cups half caff
Brunch: 2 egg bites, 1 small gf cinnamon muffin, fruit salad, gf cake (very rich, but I NEVER get cake at an event... this one was gf because the bride-to-be also has a gluten allergy), 2 cups coffee
Dinner: cheese nachos
2 fun size almond joys and a handful of strawberries from my sister's garden
Not great eating. I'll do better tomorrow

I've gotten over 2,000 steps in the last three and maybe four days. On goal with that. Didn't stay on plan over the weekend, but am back on track today. I'll get my house laps in after lunch!
Y'all make my mouth water with these chocolate treats! I saw a chocolate extract today that didn't have cocoa in it, at least it wasn't on the ingredients list, it just had chocolate flavor. Hmmm. Not sure how I'd use that in my fruity smoothies! LOL!0 -
Kim - If you can't have chocolate have you used carob? My mom is allergic to chocolate, and buys unsweetened carob chips and melts and sweetens with non-sugar sweeteners. Really tastes like chocolate. She melts over ice-cream, etc.
Lunch: 1 slice bread, one slice cheese, 1oz pretzels
Dinner: hamburger patty, 1/2 hamburger bun, corn on the cob.
snacks: almonds, greek yogurt, 3 hershey hugs
Nice outdoor walk, but got home just in time for rain to start again.

You know, I've heard of carob but haven't tried it. I will look that up on Amazon and see what I can find. I'd like to add it to my smoothies. I ordered some natural orange extract so I can make an orange cream smoothie, but would love something like a chocolate peanut butter smoothie! MMMM. Your numbers look awesome!0
-
Well, today wasn't quite as good. I had a half egg and one egg white. The egg always makes my numbers look bad, plus there was a little real butter in my mashed potatoes and in the chicken and noodles.
Lunch:
1/2 egg and 1 egg white, 1.3 oz home-made turkey sausage, 1 slice toast, 1/2 oz pretzels
Dinner:
1/3 cup mashed potatoes, 2/3 cup egg noodles with 2 oz chicken and homemade cream of chicken soup, salad with homemade french dressing.
Snacks:
chocolate almonds, 3 Hershey hugs, string cheese

Well, I wound up a bit lower in Calories and Sat fats. I didn't eat my string cheese.0

4,900 steps today - shut off my 6,000 step goal. Not great eating...0
-
I have no idea how many steps I have walked today, I forgot to put my watch on after recharging it last night until I sat down here at the computer. I will guess at how many I had. I haven't reached my 2,000 step goal the last two days. My legs were too sore to do all of my house laps yesterday, so I know that is why I missed, but I did get around 1800 steps, still quite a few more than what I would have normally gotten.
On track eating-wise.0 -
Well - I stayed in my 8 hour time frame for eating and I didn't cheat the entire day, just dinner. But, I was over in everything thanks to Mexican...but it was good. I was realistic and didn't eat the chips
, and didn't over-eat. 0 -
More than 9,000 steps yesterday. Went for a 4 1/2 mile walk with a friend late morning yesterday.
My eating habits have gotten away from me lately. Today I put a stop to that.0 -
Wow, that is a very long walk! I'm happy to make it to the end of the yard and back! LOL! We had rain this morning, so I won't get those steps in watering the flowers!
I lost two pounds, so happy about that. Hope they stay off. Staying on plan!0 -
Lunch: taco salad with a half oz. pretzels.
Dinner was left-over chicken and noodles with some pan-seared chicken breast and a salad with home-made french dressing.
Snacks: almonds and 3 hershey hugs
The numbers weren't bad, but the protein was a bit high with all of the chicken.
I haven't gotten a walk in today, but there isn't a reason. I think I will go do that now. It is a beautiful day.

I did 12.5 laps yesterday to up my step number. I was getting to seven and my thighs were really hurting. Wade subtly suggested I change my footwear and it made all the difference in the world. I hadn't been able to wear anything but my sandals for awhile, so was very happy when my sneakers fit! I was over 2,000 steps yesterday! Yippee!
Down to 236.2 this morning.1
