I am going to lift weights today and begin that routine daily. I hope that helps me too.
I am proud of you Bonnie!

If you try and make things easier to eat that are healthy it takes the thought and worry out of it. I wake up in the morning and plan my meals and snacks for the day. Sometimes menus for a few days if I am making muffins etc. I NEED snacks if I don't eat something every 2 hours I get a headache and feel sick to my stomach. I spread my food out through the day. I don't have salad with dinner I have it as a snack after dinner. I LOVE a green salad with manderine oranges, dried cranberries and creamy raspberry dressing. It tasts like dessert.
Creamy Raspberry Dressing
1 c plain yogurt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp raspberry jam
salt and pepper to taste
wisk all together. YUMMMMMM!!

I know some of you don't browse the board so I thought I would show you how I curb my appetite. My quilting has taken place of snacking. I made 2 tube quilt tops yesterday and 1 in progress today.
I have to wait to sandwich them until after tax time so I can get batting for them so I am making as many tops as possible before then.
I am making these to sell at a charity event for Tymeless hearts, part of my profit will go to the organization. They help families that have babies that are born with heart defects. They are a non profit organization. I will be making 1 special quilt that will be auctioned in a silent auction.

Missy great job with your walking !!
Tru that recipe sounds wonderful !!
Carrie I really like the brown turquoise !!!
I used to excerise everyday walking or riding my bike but when my Mother became ill and needed to be taken care of everyday that put all of that on hold. By the time I went to work came home went to take care of her and then home to make dinner I was wiped out so all the good I had built up went out the window.
I was actually excited to be at the gym today it was a good feeling to knwo I was doing something for me.

That is a really great thing you are doing. I was born with heart defects and had to have several surgeries during my first year. Of course that was in the dark ages when things weren't so advanced as today. Please let me know if I can help you. PM me.
I was away for two days and when I get back I have to read twenty some pages! Wow its great that so many people are on the journey this month.
