Daily Check In: Are You On Track Today?

When I joined the gym at Planet Fitness, I got the Black Membership and that allows me to bring one guest at each visit that I make. I have used that feature quite a number of times, so it was worth it for me.

Paula- it's so good to go through things and get rid of stuff you don't use or need anymore. The space is so much better to have. I am still in the process of sorting out the basement furnace room. I took everything out and there is just way too much stuff. I have put back the things that I know I wanted, but now I am trying to make decisions on all of the other things. It is overwhelming! But, I go down to the basement and tackle just one object everyday. It will take months to get done, but eventually I find a home for every item, even if it isn't in my home.

I am so thankful for a day off from work. I don't think I am feeling 100% yet. Close, but I get tired in the early evening and head to bed.

Shari, I hope you got some extra rest today to help you progress and feel all better. So much sickness seems to be happening lately. John's friend Craig (the other Craig, not Craig my helper) now has Covid. He feels pretty sick and this isn't the 1st time he's had it over the years. I am sure we won't be seeing him here any time soon.

I had a surprisingly productive day today. I usually keep my Saturday to do list light, but I had some extra motivation today and exceeded my to do list. My motivation carried over to my eating too, resulting in a day when I had extra points. They won't carry over to next week, but I am pleased that I did so well.

I had a good day yesterday and I had the joy of watching a young moose eat my young trees in the back yard forest. I will send a photo separately from my phone. I was fascinated for about an hour and then had to get on with my day.

We didn't rest too much yesterday. But it wasn't a physically demanding day. We are working on a step to our second level that wasn't installed (by us) properly. It is a two day process so we will finish it today. We need to wait for the glue to dry between fixing the stair and then putting the pretty board on. I can't even say how long it has been off! We stopped at our mall on our way to church and I found a new winter coat. I am so happy. I was looking last season and couldn't find one.

Shari, I LOVE the photo of the baby moose! What a wonderful thing to have in your backyard. To see one of God's special creatures so up-close and personal is a true blessing. Many years ago traveled to western Maine and went on a moose watching expedition by bus. It is something John still remembers very well. Congrats on your new coat! Hope it keeps you warm! I am sure it is fashionable too.

I had an extremely restful day today. I think I needed it. I wasn't sick or anything, just not energetic. Good thing I really didn't have to do much of anything. I did manage to cook a healthy dinner of chicken, broccoli, and rice. It helped me stay on track because I was careful with the rice portion. I think I could eat broccoli every day and not get tired of it.

Moose are pretty cool looking creatures. They are majestic, powerful and yet have a clumsy sort of way about them. I think that is due to their incredibly long legs. I will be watching out for them and hope to see them again this winter.

My day was pretty good. I did some reading, worked on a puzzle and ate leftovers. Quite a restful day. I got my steps in. That makes two days in a row. I had a couple of weeks of not being consistent.

Paula- I don't think I could eat broccoli everyday. How do you prepare it?

I enjoy broccoli usually sprayed with a little olive oil and grilled on the grill pan in my toaster oven. It has a sweet taste to me that way. Sometimes I steam it, but then I add some bread crumbs and a little butter spray for John especially. I also like broccoli raw in a salad.

It was another productive day here. I made a demanding to do list and with help from John got it all completed. I didn't track my food today but am guessing I was at the top or slightly over my points. Tomorrow will be a much easier (and I hope healthier) day. I am still behind in my reading for my online book study for Tuesday evening. I plan to get caught up tomorrow, probably just in time for class. My regular to do list is light for tomorrow.

Paula- you like broccoli in any form! I prefer it roasted, but I usually add cheese too. I don't eat broccoli very often as I get bloated when I do eat it. That's great you are getting so much done these days. I am slowly chipping away at my to do list.

I have gotten into a pretty good habit of tracking my food lately. I went over a bit yesterday and hope to be on target for today. I have to factor in an after super snack, that's what puts me over as I don't plan for one. I find it difficult to resist even though I am not hungry.
