You are what you eat

If that were true can you imagine what the people would look like as you passed them on the street. 

Today was really good.  I have a flat ear because it was one of those days that people wanted to talk to me.  I love my portable phone because I can keep walking while I talk.  I can' t walk fast because I think it would be knda rude to be panting into the phone when people are talking. 

I went walking early this morn with dh.  He is trying to keep at it this time.  His sugar yesterday morning was over 200 and that was the highest it has ever been.  It scared him and me, so he is trying to keep the sweets down and trying to exercise too.  Double plus here it helps me when I have a buddy to walk with.  Josie, I wish you lived near me, we could be walking buddies.

Calories for today was 1685.  Pretty good.  I can't remember if my dr. told me this or I read it a few years ago,  "Add a zero to your weight, and eat less than that in calories and you will lose weight. "  For example,  If I weigh 200 pounds I could eat 1900 calories a day and I would lose weight.  I think I would lose it very slow,  so I try to eat around 1500 calories a day.  That gives me a little room to go over and yet I still don't feel like I messed up.  Plus I exercise almost every day.  That not only burns a bit of calories it also builds muscle. And we all know that muscles burn more calories than fat/

Speaking  of exercise,  I worked out with 8 pound weights this morning for 30 minutes and then walked two miles.   I came home and stripped beds, washed sheets and remade beds, And washed a load of dhs work clothes and hung them up to dry..  Then I ironed for a little over an hour and cooked and cleaned house.  And with all of that my pedometer steps was   taaaaa daaaaaaa-----10459---just  touch over five miles.  I wear my pedometer all day long.  Every step counts and every movement is important. 

Going to see if dh fell asleep waiting on me to come keep him company. 

Sleep well everyone
God bless you
