A I-got-off-my-ass day!

I did not write about Sunday.  I gave myself the day off for Opening Day for football.  Well, that really was Thursday night, but this was the first Sunday of football season, which means there was football all day long, and I didn't really get on the computer til way late in the evening.  Then, I was so busy catching everything else up, I didn't feel like listing my food or blogging.  So, I skipped it.  Sundays are for rest, right?

I ate pretty good for a Sunday.  I had a chicken wrap and french fries for lunch.  We had gone to lunch at Campbell's Barn for a fundraiser for church, and I tried to make a good choice.  But, fries!  It's been a while...  Then, for supper, we had spencer steaks, ramen noodles (choice of shrimp or oriental flavors), and corn on the cob.  I had two steaks, two corn, and about 1/2 cup of noodles (I don't really like them all that much).  Of course, the corn was covered with butter.  Notice I said covered, not slathered.  B-I-G difference, and it used to be slathered.  I did not take my diabetes pills when I went to bed, finally, after the late game, and I felt fine when I turned the light off around 2.  NO sugar low!  Yay <happy dance>!!

I got up today around 11:30.  I started an exercise routine - one which I am hoping to do at least every other day, if not every day.  I did 25 jumping jacks without jumping - I just stepped to the side - trust me, you don't want me to jump.  We do not need an earthquake here in SW Ohio.  I also did 25 reps each of sitting toe touches, squats, and leg lifts (with the help of a chair, of course).  Then I got on the computer and got all my games caught up.  Finally, around 2 - 2:30, I figured I had best eat some lunch, so I went searching.  I decided on a can of chicken noodle soup, and that was my lunch.  I really wasn't hungry, but sure don't like them sugar lows.

After lunch, I played on the computer until Ron got home, then we went for a bike ride before football came on for the night.  We got back and made our salads (he brought chicken strips home from his lunch and we cut those up for the meat for our salads) and missed the most exciting 90 seconds of the whole game.  sigh  Yes, the first 90 seconds were more exciting than the whole rest of the game.  I was so ready for the second game to start, let me tell you!

Today gets five stars for both food and exercise - I stayed UNDER 1,000 calories on the day (myfitnesspal was not pleased - they kinda told me that I need to watch that I was getting the nutrition I needed) and exercised twice, to boot!  Also planning to walk in the morning with Lois, since I have other things working for Thursday and Friday mornings, and she has other things working for Wednesday morning.  We don't want to lose our initiative.
