146.0 RUNNING on a TRACK

Wow!!! I take new high school freshman to his first football camp at 6:00 AM and decide to take advantage of the nice paved track. Shall I say smoooooth, no tripping or weed poking or rut jumping. That was a nice FLAT run. I didn't realize how much cross training I was doing until after this flat smooth run today. I never really even got breathless, most likely because there were no sneaky little inclines to attack me. But I must admit I was tired from the rest of the day forward and I think I will blame the heat. We had to rescue a car and take to a repair shop, eat dinner out at a fun log restaurant and finish hay fields and of course go watch some more fireworks. I was able to even sneak a nap in there while the boys did hay.

Miles: 4 jogging 1 walking

Breakfast: half an 8oz cream cheese cube mixed with quinoa and bluberries sweetened with stevia.

Lunch: bison burger with the full bun and coleslaw. I sorta forgot that maybe the bread wasn't a safe thing for me to just lunch on down. One of those habitual eating moments shall we say.

Dinner: Unethical, baby bell cheeses, rice crackers and a chili chocolate bar. And it was almost midnight. I thought we were going to get to barbecue and it didn't work out that way so we had to eat munchies after the fireworks. Thank goodness we had a bottle for the little guy who had also eaten all of his fries and chicken fingers at lunch time. Made him mad though because I kept him drinking another bottle of vanilla pedisure with hidden blended blueberries and spinach and a carbohydrate powder mix from This found at the health food store. I am just trying to get some good carbs mixed with this heavy proteins drink.

Maintenance is going great sure hope I don't need a steak day tomarrow even though one sounds really yummy right now.

145. Not as much as I had hoped.

Those steak days are rad and I am glad they work. Now for a busy day of eating more protein and exercise.

Lunch: I ate yummy salad with cheese, broccoli, carrots, tuna and sunflower seeds mixed with Waldon farms Ranch dressing. Yogurt with almonds mixed in also.

Jer and I made Chocolate crack that had dried blueberries and almonds broken into it. Jer made them and now I just hope that he will eat what he helped to create. (Recipe is one that I can send if you ask for it).

Dinner: I made the most yummy spaghetti sauce with lots of onions, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower,a cube of cream cheese and quinoa, I ate it without the noddles that everyone else in the house got. This is following Dr Simeons protocol menu for being off of the HCG drops that helps to set your weight during the maintenance phase. The rule is to have no starches, such as breads, potatoes, rice, corn and peas. Quinoa is actually pushing it a bit but it's protein rate is higher then it's starch rate so I am trying it. The only thing is that it was so yummy that I ate 3 bowls so I most likely undid the steak day.

Miles: Ran 2 and walked 1.5

I did exercise of a new kind, lets call it a form of weight lifting with heavy muddy boots. I wore my hubby's mine irrigation boots (steel toes if only I had known) to take care of his field watering job in our new hay field. After an hour my thighs were so dang tired and I still had to walk a mile back to the car.

My boys watching me get started with the water moving, they have to open gates when I signal to them.
Me and my lovely Hubbys HEAVY boots.
UP close with the mud washing off so I can keep walking.

Silly boys your supposed to keep the boots empty of the water not fill them up so you have to dump them.
