Sat and Shopping
Slept in this morning. Took it easy and drank 8 glasses of a combination of water and some crystal light green tea. Then made a healthy breakfast and it was 3pm by time we got started. Sams for berries and tomatoes, those little mini cucumbers and water. Then the base for fresh vegetables, the boars head meats i use for my salads and sandwiches and lots of frozen vegetables, some morning star vegie sausage and burger sub that i want to try, egg beaters, cottage cheese and yogurt. Went out to eat before driving home andit seems like the box of leftovers is getting bigger every time. We used to finish the meal we ordered between the two of us, but as i am eating less and less of it....more and more is coming home. My DH said he thought that with a salad and some soup he had enough for dinner two nights this week. This past week was good for exercising but it had some extra days off, will need to make sure i stay on track this week.....I did notice that my feet didn't hurt as much as they used to by the time we finished today......so that i can do more and more. I'd like to be able to walk 3 mi by April but will see how it goes.

Snow, ice and exercise
It started this am..1st we had freezing drizzle and then snow...i pretty much slid to work and the parking lot was a sheet of ice as the snow had blown off it...and decided that we should call everyone and go home. One tv channel said it would be 2pm before it cleared out, the other said 10am...since we went home it was stopped by 10. Tomorrow will be busy as moved some people to there. Most of them didn't want to get out this morning either and were fine with that. So I came home made a good brunch and did some of my exercise. Then i had bought a walk dvd with bob and the biggest losers and we put it on and did 1 mile...had to stop for just a moment for my knee but the changing motions were good for it, much better than just walking in place. Oh yes my DH was home as he got stuck on a shoulder a little east of town. He lucked out in that he saw someone else on their way to work, who he works with and they picked him up and brought him home....in fact one of the other people who drives that way also was thinking that they were going to turn around and saw him also and called his cell phone to see if he needed help. The weather was better east of us so some people were able to get to work( he works about 35 miles east of our town). I've drunk a lot of water and crystal light, eaten light, and read a bunch of blogs and done some exercise....just felt kind of blah today. It got sunny this afternoon and we were able to get his car. Thought i would try to do some more exercise tonight but my knee is stiff so i'll wait and see how it is tomorrow.

Skinny ankles
Well this Wed started off good, like last wed my ankles were skinny this morning...I'm not losing a lot from my hips or waist but i am from my legs and chest and my ankles are skinnier and my shoes are getting loser. My weight was 2 pounds less this am then on Sunday and I had to do some things that limited my chance to drink much and then i had to grab a quick lunch and made a sandwich with a thin and some lean lunch meat and thought.....a pickle or 2 would be good with this........light bulb...NOT. Uh, thats how i got into trouble last week and until i am sure that one pickle will not roll down that hill and start an avalanche it's going to have to be none. Also no stir fry with soy yet and no hot dogs though after reading Allans blog a few minutes ago FF franks on 1/2 a thin with sauerkraut, sauteed onions, and mustard sure sounds good and its fine except for the salt and while in the past salt wasn't a problem for me, right now its turned out to be my "trigger", "Achilles heel", downfall or whatever. Yes i am salting some foods, eating almonds with salt, and having some foods with salt in them, but i am avoiding large amounts.......instead i had a mixture of fz peaches, raspberries, ff yogurt, and NS granola. I want the scale to show a better loss this week, I want the 3 pounds that my eating and the math says should be bringing me and i am weighing and measuring or using premade things that have cal counts on them. I'm also drinking more plain water and will see what this week brings.
