I did not keep up with my calories, but keep reading and I will tell you all that I ate today. Not the amounts, I don't think I am that brave. lol I really tried to keep in to a minimum amount but the baked potatoe was so good oh well all that will come at the end of my post.
My pedometer steps was 13188 I do love to walk and I have the perfect place to do my walking. Behind my house is a fire trail and it is secluded. No one can see me back there until I get to the very end of it. The trail is almost 2 miles long from my backdoor to round trip back to my back door. I walked early this morning while it was still very cool and the grass was still wet from the dew. I love to go through there into the woods and pray. I do love to spend time praying and I had a lot on my mind this morning. My mom is not every going to get better, the strokes have just reduced her to almost a child on some levels and yet she is still mom and she knows that she is still mom. I really have a lot of compassion for her. She struggles to do the things that she needs to do. She can no longer make it to the bathroom when she needs to go pass her water. So now she has a potty chair in her bedroom and this morning when she got up to do her business, The mat by her bed just slipped out from under her. She did not get hurt but she was on the floor and it took her almost half an hour to get up. She refused to call my brother even though he was right across the hall from her.He tends to humiliate and redicule her, and I think it is cruelty on his part not to have more patience with her.
A couple of hours later dh came home and wanted to walk too so I went with him double exercise, How lucky is that. We held hands while we walked part of the way. I read that holding hands can lower your blood pressure, and it does not matter who you hold hands with. It can be a child or a friend, husband, who ever, My blood pressure is usually about 115 over 55. So it must be true dh and I hold hands often. My pulse is usually 52. The dr. said it is because of the exercise that I do. That keeps my resting heart rate lower.
A friend of ours invited us to a fund raiser they were having at her church. It was a steak supper and there was salad and baked potatoe and of course steak. I don't belive I have ever seen a baked potatoe that big. and It was delicious. I could not eat it all and neither could I eat all of the steak. I brought what I could not eat home with me. I did eat all of the salad. IT will make a nice lunch for me tomorrow.
On the way home dh told me that we were supposed to go to our church for a function out there and I did not know they had changed the date on it. So I go because the president of that group is my best friend or as the young say she is my bff, lol and she really is. Now they had some good food out there but I only had a drink , no way could I have eaten anything else. Dh and I both fixed us a plate to bring home with us. My plate had turkey and ham and beans and cucumbers pickled with onions and celery. Dh was able to get a lot more choices on his plate. I refuse to complain about my allergies. IT could me a lot worse, and I am grateful to my Lord that I can eat such a huge array of food. My uncle lived 7 years being fed boost and ensure through a tube in his stomach. You see, I am so blessed.
Now for a list of just what I have eaten today, Not a pile of food just a lot of different foods,,,,,
brunch--baked chicken, steamed mixed vegetable, okra, berries, 1/2 cup low fat milk
mid afternoon meal, baked chicken, green beans, brussel sprouts, figs and pear.
dinner, small salad, steak, baked potatoe.
I am pretty sure that the scales will show a slight gain in the morning.
OH well that is not too bad, it is not like I ate a half box of moose tracks ice cream.
Sleep well everyone,\
God bless
