It ended up being a busy day. My husband and I went to lunch when I finished working out. I came back and went to pick up some sugar free nitrate free bacon to make Practical Paleo Spaghetti squash Bolognese for dinner. Also some dried blueberries for a recipe from Dr Axe, Bone Blueberry Bone Broth Macadamia protein bars. I thought I had all of the ingredients purchased but didn't realize I needed dried blueberries. They are really good. I did the nutrients on it using MFP and they are pretty high calories. They are kind of rich and filling though with all of the coconut butter in them. I need some different recipes for the bone broth protein powder. I am sort of tired of yogurt. I tried goats milk yogurt since Dr Axe says it is better for you. I have half a carton left and I just can't eat it. The taste is just off to me, even if I try to blend in a bit of coconut milk or something. I have my 6 year old grandson hear staying the night tonight. My husband got him started on making some slime to play with. That meant another trip to the store for glue and liquid starch.
Carolyn, I think we probably burn a few more calories than the devices come up with when doing weights. That is low for that workout, it is no an easy one by any means. I am almost always way low when doing weights. I felt that my calories were really low for the time spent on Body By Design upper 52 calories. But, results is what counts the most anyway. When I clean house and do extra cleaning and outside work my step increase significantly.
Valerie, I think the health problems are due to dietary changes, people eating out all of the time or filling their cupboards with products full of fillers and ingredients that are not real food. People spend much more time sitting around at work, at home televisions seem to be on a lot, video games, cell phones, computers. They get sucked into it all and don't move. I think that I mentioned that we had a lot of years without a television in our house when I was growing up. We spent a lot of time outdoors. People eat the things we had as a once in a long while treat daily. We did not drink sodas all of the time. They were just something special. It was generally water and tea on the table. Pre packaged foods and pre cooked foods are a normal staple now. Which reminds me, I tried the Interurban white chicken chili today and it was not the healthier soup that I expected. It was creamy and had corn in it with tortilla strips on top. I hate when I think I am making a better choice than the sandwich. If we were having dinner I would have went for salmon or the bacon wrapped shrimp.
Caitlin, that is good that you are putting back on some weight. That was too low.
Carolyn,
Carolyn
