Monday Eats

No pictures today. :( Chuck had the camera with him. Oh noooooooooo. *said in my Bruce voice from Family Guy*

Breakfast: Green Monster (I prefer to call it swamp water) with spinach, Amazing Grass mix original, banana, 1/2 of huge orange, kefir, stevia, ice, chia seeds Made about a quart of deliciousness.

The Amazing Grass folks also sent a couple of samples of their mix for kids.

I mixed a shake for Charlie and Rachel using the packet & chocolate almond milk and they loved it. Both drank it down with no problem at all. I have to go get some of this now.

Exercise was doing mountains of laundry and cleaning my bedroom. I had stacks of books that needed to be sorted. Also used my rubber band to do some upper body strength training and did some planks. Planks are rough for me. I have very little core strength.

Found out today that we won't be going camping at South Llano State Park this weekend. It kind of sucks because we were going for 5 days! 5 days of tubing, swimming, canoeing and hiking. Our diesel truck is having some issues and the miniature van won't pull the trailer. And there's no way I'm sleeping in a tent in this kind of heat. Forget about it.

I guess we'll spend the weekend completing nature challenge missions, geocaching and maybe go paddle a river or something. So it's all good. I have to find some way to totally exhaust my family on the holidays. :)

Thanks for checking in on me. Things are back to normal emotionally. The scale...well, I'm not going to let that thing bother me. My clothes are fitting much loser and I'm getting stronger. But the most important thing of all is that I am happy. :) Ah, the ups and downs of life.
