Today is Day 293 of my Daily Food Diary! 😋
Yesterday was a pretty good day. I only made one block of the walk I set out on with Dan and Molly. I could have handled the cold and wind, but the rain was a bit much. I came home and did my aerobics and weights – plus I did half an hour on the treadmill before supper. 👍
For supper last night, I decided we should indulge in some Taco Time. One of the most mind-boggling things I have found since I began tracking my Daily Food Diary is how many calories there are in such meals. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea. 🤦
Obviously, last night’s indulgence is a hard one to report on my Daily Food Diary, but it’s all about balance. Last night, I was balancing out the salad I had for supper on Saturday. 🙄
Last night, for the second night in a row, we put the air purifier from our living room in our bedroom. I slept really well both nights and with minimal coughing before I fell asleep and after I woke up. I have to try it for a few days, but we might have to get another one before we get tired of hauling this one back and forth between rooms.

Oooh that pretty, I love fog! I’m glad the air purifier helps you, Anne. I love tacos but don’t eat them because of the sodium level. Another sacrifice becuse of chronic bp issues.

A treadmill is a useful thing on a rainy day.

Ahh – You know Anne … Making space for indulgences keeps normalcy in our lives. I believe that it’s necessary to keep us thriving and committed to our goals. I’m not power walking right now because the yard work needs doing and by the time I stop that, it’s too hot to even consider a power walk. And let me tell you this … there’s nothing like an ice cold lite beer on a hot Texas afternoon. I don’t feel one bit guilty about that indulgence 🍻

I’m sure ours will also see a lot of use this winter. I struggle with temps lower than minus 20C.

I totally agree – although with allergies there are some things that are totally a no go. Do you have a treadmill or a pool you can go to. When it is too hot to power walk? Just wondering. An ice cold lite beer on a hot day sounds good but I’ve never been able to drink beer. 🙂
