Day 33

375 calorie Lunch

We each had 4 Oz of this chicken=125 calories.

Then I made a cole slaw using these ingredients plus stevia packets.

We had 5 crackers and an ounce of cheddar cheese and a zero calorie soda.

Day 32

Yes, we all will die. We have corruptable bodies that will perish. But what and how much you eat and how much you move can and will determine the quality of your life. 

We all can improve our health in some way.

I woke up during the night with a horrible head and chest cold. I took some meds but didn't get much sleep. 

We weren't offered any loads today and I am glad. I stayed in bed ALL DAY. 

So far Pops is ok. He walked alone today, 2 miles in Minnesota and 1 mile in Wisconsin.

Birthday Suit

Since it's Pops' birthday,

Day 31

Today is Pops' birthday. He is 65 years old. And he is looking pretty good, I think. I am so proud of him taking charge of his health and inspiring me to want to as well.

There was as time when I was very obsessive about every little bite I took and also about doing a specific amount of exercise every single day. Then I decided to just stop doing it. I don't know the reason or the exact time but I did it. I gave up on myself.

And for years have disliked the results of that choice.

Now I am starting to feel good.....and healthy. I like this plan and the foods and the activity. 

I sure hope we keep going with it.

We walked in Minnesota today at our favorite rest area. There is a walking trail and a lake (duh, there are 10,000 lakes in Minnesota) and we usually see deer here in the evenings, but none yet.

No birthday cake for Pops today, but maybe some jello and cool whip.

Here are some pictures from our walk.

Day 30

Wow, the calorie boost this week seems ridiculous. I am eating like 1200 each day and now burning 200-250 by walking, but the amount of food seems like heaps!

Here is our 515 calorie supper.

Day 29

It's Monday and we don't work until 4pm. So we got up and went to the pond behind us and fed the geese. 

Then we gathered our dirty laundry and went into the truckstop. As the clothes washed we went for  a mile walk. Then returned to put the clothes in the dryer. Then we walked another mile and a quarter. 

Now it's shower time.
