Daily Food Diary – Day 137 of 365

It is 137 Days since I began posting my Daily Food Diary. 😁 And it is 1 Day since I finished my latest round of antibiotics and Prednisone! 😃

Yesterday, I failed to meet my goal for net total calories and for saturated fats.  There is no excuse for over cheesing the nachos – but I can justify eating the extra nachos.  They were VERY good! And.. I burned a lot of calories yesterday, some of which I did not deduct from my calorie intake. 

The bulk of those non- deducted calories burnt came from yardwork.  I trimmed our front yard and mowed the big half – much bigger, but easier.  The grass was marginally shorter than the other side, but I still emptied the grass bag four times into our big green bin.  That is the hardest part of mowing because our mower bag is huge and heavy, our green bin is almost as tall as me, and my face is right in the fresh grass (not ideal with grass allergies. 🙄) But I got the one side done before Dan decided I was done.  He did the more difficult side.  Today, our grandson Rory is coming over to give the yard a good raking.  I am excited to see him and excited to have another major project off the books!

After mowing, I took on one more project for the day – which I did deduct calories for.  I let Molly take me for a full walk around our neighbourhood ALONE.   That was the first time I have ventured out that far with her in TWO YEARS.  The first time since the dogpark collision/broken arm incident of 2023.  🙄  I just didn’t totally trust either her or myself to go alone since. 

Yesterday, Molly crushed it!  She did have to make one quick poop stop, but otherwise she was focused on getting me around the neighborhood and back home.  She just cruised right by other dogs, vehicles, lots of people, trees, sign posts, and the like.  

And we had one bonus moment… Granddaughter Genie drove past us with her sisters Maddie and Prim.  They waved and yelled at us.  I waved and yelled back to them.  You can’t buy moments like those and nothing can prepare you for them. ☺️

I am so blessed to have my health and my family and my Molly dog.  💞🌞
