KACKY's Journal

So got up this morning and dropped Jimmy off at school - he just has that cough right now, poor guy.  We took Jim's mom to breakfast afterwards, today is her birthday.  We went to a little place called "THE DINER", it was ok, I chose a spinach/swiss omlette, 2 pcs. of wheat toast and they came with fried hasbrowns, I wish I would have asked for no butter on the toast but I forgot and it wasn't much.  One of them I spread strawberry jam.  I only had a few bites of the hashbrown, not very good (dry).  I would have gotten egg beaters or egg substitute but it was like $1 more and for fruit instead of hashbrowns it would have been another $1.25 = therefore, my meal would have been like $8 and I drank water.  So I just watched what I ate, the spinach/swiss I thought was a better choice and it was good and filling but not too much.  I'd say it was about 500 cal in all so not too much for breakfast, I will just watch what I eat.  This morning before breakfast I did have some watermelon (5oz/46) and drinking lots of water today.

So we got our garden in before Jim left for work.  We have zuchinni, egg plant, burpless cucuembers, red & yellow sweet bell peppers, sugar snap peas, broccoli, hot beppers, and banana peppers and lots of tomatoes.  Jimmy has some pumpkin seeds he wants to plant and we have some more sunflower seeds too.  This will be our biggest garden ever.  Hope I am off so I can keep up with removing any weeds that come in and picking as they are ready.  Have to get on-line to find some good recipes for all this stuff.

Jim left for work so I wanted to update and then get some house cleaning done before I get Jimmy, I wanted to get to the gym for a 4:30 No-Limits class.

Feel pretty good after my workouts from yesterday.  I can't believe I did 40 burpees, did 4 sets of 10 - of course not all at once, that would be tough.  I want to tell you this cuz it's super funny and I wanted to make sure to get in the last 10 burpees.  I was getting ready to jump in the shower when I realized I hadn't done the last 10 - Jimmy was sleeping, I was already naked and the blinds were closed so I just did 10 quick ones in the nude in the living room upstairs before I jump in the shower.  I felt good, funny but good and just smiled when I was done - PHEW.  I don't know why I did 40 total but I just did.  Today is 38 right Lisa & Emily?    I thought about all of you and the things we do to get the job done.  I really appreciate all your support! 

Allright, cleaning now (vacuuming & such) - laundry too.  Never ending.......

Will update on journals later on tonight after the gym.  I might take Jimmy to see Grandma and maybe bring her her own little personal pc of cake from the store.  For my birthday she made me this strawberry cake which is now my favorite ~ she is such a great Mother-In-Law. - Thank Goodness Right!

Talk to ya later.....
