Walking for Wellness - Week 7

Me walking out at the lake with
my shirt not gaping open.  I'm 
so happy about this, I'm making
this my profile picture.

 Hello there Adventurous Friends, this is where I'm keeping up with my eating & walking  activities in attempts to get my weight & cholesterol back down.  Ice cream, banana pudding, coke & southern style sweet tea were my weaknesses this week, though I was able to put my biggest size work pants way back in the closet to never be worn again, I hope, because they were too uncomfortable loose & baggy. Yay! 😍 

I had one bowl of ice cream instead of having a bowl with every meal.  I'll do the same with the banana pudding Kevin made.  I'll have one serving with supper instead of several servings throughout the day.  When/if I have coke or tea, I have 1 glass or can instead of having refills.

Here's my plan & lets see how I did this week.

• Eat smaller portions, take smaller bites, chew more 
  
• Eat varieties of all the foods I like & not deprive myself
• Eat a variety of fruits & vegetables, at least 1 fruit & 1 green vegetable a day
• Stop eating when full
• Walk more
• 1 small sweet a day, if any
• Drink more water
• No snacks after supper

* Sat

Breakfast - slice of pizza & an egg

Lunch - Nutella, peanut butter & banana on crackers

Supper - benefit fundraiser meal - pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, macaroni salad

Drink - one cup of coffee, water

I put on a button up top to go to the benefit & didn't bust out of it like I did the last time I put it on, probably last fall.

* Sun

Brunch - 1/2 of a frisco breakfast sandwich from Hardees & several of Kevin's hash rounds since mine were not in the bag. 

Supper - 1/2 of a big mac & fries from McDonalds with a smaller coke, cookies

Drink - one cup of coffee, water, coke

Exercise - walking & fishing in the canyon, extra trips up & down the stairs folding & putting away laundry instead of carrying everything all at one time.

Didn't get a large coke & sip on it all day like I've done the past couple Sundays.  I did get a coke with supper but it was a smaller one.

My unique trash find was this
steering wheel cover.
