Are you one of those that getting outside just makes you feel so much better? Oh I certainly am. The sunshine on my face. The wind blowing through my hair. Oh even if it is our gusty Texas Panhandle "breeze". You know what I am talking about.
We are living in a weird time. The year 2020 has included many changes. A lot, not all of us, have gained a bit of weight. So many that it has a name. The Quarinteen15. Well guess what? We are over that and on our way to getting healthy again.
To say my dog has had a rough 2020, along with the rest of us, is an understatement. Poor girl has gone through some crazy life changes. We had to put her sister to sleep in February. Chipper still doesn’t understand where her Cinnamon could be. That’s been a tough one.
I read a story the other day about a new kitchen challenge that is going viral. So I wanted to give it a try. I have 2 kitchen utensils that are wooden. I have had them for years.I usually throw them in the dishwasher. I figure that is the best way to keep them clean. Apparently it doesn't really keep them all that clean. That is why this challenge is even a thing.
It seems like an easy concept. All you have to do is burn more calories than you eat in order to lose weight. I mean easy, right? Well if you have been trying at all you get it. It's not as easy as it seems. You think you are doing everything the right way and then you get on the scale.
So, I have a few reasons to get back on my eating healthy regimen. One being that my blood pressure a few weeks ago was at stroke level. I am not even kidding here. I was at 190/102 yeah not good. Oh and the other is to not die. I want to be able to just feel better.
I'm looking to eat healthier and lose a few pounds here in 2020. The part that is the toughest for me is lunchtime. I don't have a lot of time. I don't want to spend a lot of money. I want a good meal though.
