Life It Happens...

So these are the days when your exercise program and eating schedule really get messed up and you deal with it.

My little Koda suddenly had some soreness in her leg today. I waited until noon before calling the vet because I wanted to see if maybe it improved but it didn't. In we went to find out she has lyme disease. Poor girl. Shes limping bad, has a slight fever, and needs to be carried around everywhere. Meds include antibiotics and pain pills. Administered as soon as we came in the door. Shes resting now hopefully doing better by tomorrow.

Anyway when life happens, you do the best you can, reschedule your regimens and work around it. Today I figured my dog needs me so I will start my workout regimen for the week tomorrow. Saturday I will have to work out, no big deal compared to my dogs health. Eating, well that hasn't really been an issue. I ate two scrambleds this morning and nothing since. My stomach has been in knots worrying about my dog. Apple soon, then dinner at normal time.

How do you handle balancing your healthy life with what life dumps on you at times?

Plan on trying my hand at kale chips, will let you know how they turn out.

*Gulp*

My weekend kinda was a fail. I am not going to be hard on myself just going to turn it around. Lets see Friday night I had a a cup of regular spaghetti noodles not dangerous but I don't like to eat the white flour junk cause it starts the cravings. I had a shot glass of tiramisu for dessert. Overate at lunch I am pretty sure.

Saturday started with egg sandwich, which was fine, and I had hash browns. Another trigger I like to avoid. That night I had meatloaf (ok), asparagus (ok), mashed potatoes (not ok). Banana bread (not ok) and slice of cinnamon bread(not ok). Today I had healthy breakfast but throughout the whole day have managed to scarf 3/4 of a box of caramel delites. Girl Scouts!!! Enough of the pity party. I am prepared the scale might show a gain but I will work hard to stay on plan this week, exercise my butt off and make things right so I feel right.

Tonight I plan on having wheat pizza slices w/ veggies and a big salad. No dessert.

Laundry Daze

Again...The kids had a delay at school so like any other day I just went about my schedule letting them play til it was time to head to the bus stop.

Puppy is doing better and mind you lost another tooth this morning. She plays with it not knowing what it is until I take it from her. A puppy keepsake.

Its laundry day making it ever more appropriate that I have a laundry list of things to do today. Taxes for Dans company, laundry, clean out closet, watch last night's Jersey Shore, and watch my Mad Men Season 3 Disc 3 from Netflix. Now my irresponsible side would put the TV shows at the top of my priority list but my responsible side always rears its ugly head and lets reason get in the way. Being responsible is overrated. I will do the laundry as I fit all the other things in between somehow.

Dan wants to go here tonight, I say ok!

Already know what I am going salad and breadsticks (1 maybe 2) and the mussels napoli as my main entree.
Coffee for dessert.

B-same as below,coffee
S-dannon light n fit pomegranate berry (absolutely delicious), V8
L- not sure want to convince Dan for Sashimi
S-apple w/PB
D-olive garden
96oz water
E-c210k Week 3 Day3

What do you get at Olive Garden?

Three Things Thursday

1. I have chicken thawing and have no idea what to make with it. I was thinking maybe oven baked chicken fingers coated in Panko or WW bread crumbs.

2. I love the fact that my husband calls me to ask if he can buy sneakers. Really hes calling to ask what card to use to buy them. Oy men. I know I am the bookkeeper, and hes making sure we have the money but its funny to me, nonetheless. I love him.

3. I am kind of proud of myself for only eating half my lunch. I was so full I just couldn't do it. I left it out, in case I needed an afternoon snack, or Dan was hungry when he comes home in a half hour.

3a. My poor puppy has the "d" word. Diarrhea. Made some ground beef and rice for her so hopefully its just a small bug and she will be back to normal in no time. Here she is my Koda,

B-egg,lite cheese, lite deli ham, on whole wheat english muffin, coffee
S-2 scrambleds
L-4 tomato slices covered with chicken salad and one slice cheese divided evenly over them w/ leftover creamed spinach,V8
S-apple
D-chicken fingers, broccoli, salad

What are those things? 3 reasons I haven't been around in awhile.

Snow Day, Martin Luther King Day (school holiday), and a teacher day at school. Yes my kids had a 5 day weekend. Makes it so rough getting on here. I either tend to be lazier or we are running around doing errands. But alas food and exercise has been good. No complaints.
