Health Group- Year 2, week 48

Good morning! It looks like we’re going to get a nice Saturday, finally. It’s lovely out.

I’ve been doing well. The breakfast shakes are still fantastic. I’ve had one every day for 2 weeks, and as I’d hoped, it starts the day off well and I don’t graze on junk the rest of the day. I don’t even want it until about 4:30-5:00 in the evening, and that’s been manageable.

I’ve run out of soy milk and yogurt, so this morning I made a shake with a cup of orange juice, most of a frozen banana, some raspberry sorbet (first time for that one), and the protein and vitamin powders. It was way good. I drank one full glass of it, and gave the leftovers to the girls. I made Nate’s the same way, but used mango sorbet instead of the raspberry. His was better.

The reason I like the protein powder is because I think protein is very important in the morning. Ultimately, I think a couple of eggs with whole wheat toast is the perfect breakfast, but I don’t usually want anything that heavy that early.

And on the scale I’m 221.

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I did some physical therapy and ab work. Thursday night, Nate suggested a walk in the neighborhood. We took the girls and went for about 30 minutes. It felt really great. I had hoped to start on my biceps and triceps this week, but I can’t find my free weights from the move yet, and the pulley system is surrounded by boxes still.

I hope to find the weights today, as well as to get some ab work in.

It’s so great to be posting about HEALTH on Health Group again! I’ve really missed it!

How’s it going for you?
