We had Chicken Casserole for lunch with cornbread dressing on top - yummers. Not healthy really, but so good and super easy. I'm going to try and do some house walking today and add around 500 extra steps. I have a long and short circuit in the house. The long one means a couple of sharp turns and those hurt my back, but the shorter one also meals I can walk faster! So will probably do that one.

Have an awesome day!

Went to the dentist today. Hopefully, I can keep from any more cavities. I hope that as I get older this isn't going to be a trend! LOL!

Not sure how the rest of today is going to go, but so far eating well.

Can this count as healthy even though there was plenty of butter used? Hibachi chicken with vegetable fried rice that Dave made on his Father's Day griddle...

Even though a lot of butter was used overall, your part shouldn't be that much! It looks sooo yummy! One of these days Wade is going to get his griddle out and start using it, but it's too hot right now to be cooking outside!

We made some fig jam that has just a small amount of sugar in it. Four jars we did has 1/4 C sugar and 1/4 C honey. Wade doesn't like the taste of the honey, so he did the second four jar batch with 1/2 C sugar. I don't like figs, but this jam is pretty good! We'll be eating on that for awhile. My friend made some plum jam from her plum tree that was quite good, but I think I like the cherry jam best of all! I make a PBJ wrap using my sweet potato wraps or my chia seed and flax wraps. The veggie wraps tastes like lettuce so I don't think that one would work for a PB and J!

Just got back from walking with Beth. Today we walked 3.5 miles (almost 7,500 steps). We had a nice visit, drank some coffee and she sent me home with eggs from her chickens. 🐔🥚😊

Found out at my doctor's visit that my scale was 5.5 lbs heavier! I like that. I'm at 234, not 239! Woohoo! Other than not being able to anything about my pain because my stomach can't take the meds, I'm doing alright. Once I get on Medicare we will do some testing to see where we presently are with my stomach and my back.

That's funny, Cindy! They make it look so easy, but just getting the griddle ready and then having to care for it after each use is a time-consumer!

I might have 3,000 steps by the end of the day. I have just over 2800 right now, so not so bad on steps today.

No candy for the past 3 days. Not saying 'no sweets' because I had strawberry yogurt Gelato 2 days ago, but it's a start. Sourdough toast for breakfast. Leftover chicken fried rice for lunch. Planning on burgers for dinner

Oh dear, I have over 3,000 steps and my back knows it well. I had more trouble with the pain in my right upper leg today than I have ever had! I'm walking like a little 90-year-old woman right now. I am going to have to figure out what to do for my right SI joint, I think that is what is causing all the pain. I haven't been eating badly, just taking that occasional treat now and again.

More hibachi on the new griddle for dinner tonight. Our youngest daughter, her husband and our grandson are coming for dinner. Dave will do shrimp and dumpling appetizers and there'll be vegetable fried rice again. Tonight's protein is strip steak and chicken thighs

Have you ever made a Dutch baby pancake? They're pretty easy and quite delicious. I decided to try them with some of the wild black raspberries and blackberries we have here on the property. So... I've made them twice now. The first time I only garnished with berries. Today I baked some in, added an extra minute to the baking time and then garnished. Both changes were improvements.

Ugh! I stopped at Olive Garden on my way home from work and ate salad (healthy) and a full order of gluten free rotini pasta with meat sauce (not as healthy). Add that to all the candy I grazed on yesterday and I was up a pound this morning. 😢

That sounds delicious, Connie.

I've been getting more than 6,000 steps/day since the 10th. (6,000 is my daily goal.)
8/10 - 9,448
8/11 - 10.169
8/12 - 8,355
8/13 - 8,452
8/14 (so far) - 6,549

Two more days on this program. My room is SO FAR away from the convention area space (we're at the Wynn in Las Vegas) that it's not hard to get my steps in at all.

I have not done too well. My "What have you done today that is healthy" is very low level like not eating 2 cookies (just 1) and not drinking a glass of wine even though I really wanted one. I've been traveling and my friends I stayed with did not eat healthy at all and that sent me on a downward spiral. I've been on the road Sunday/Monday and again Wednesday which always tanks my healthy eating especially when the company provides the food. Enough whining! Since I'm home for 2 weeks at least this stretch, hoping to get back into good habits. This hot weather also makes me want to stay in air conditioning. Sounds like Cindy is in Vegas which I know is very hot too!
