Not so good Wednesday. A week ago yesterday, I has an out patient procedure to treat varicose veins that are actually deep in the muscle and cause nasty leg cramps. So after 20 shots I needed to wear a sign that says "I am not a victim of domestic abuse."
Yesterday I returned to have the other leg done BUT the first leg was full of infection from arch of foot to knee. So I am in pressure wrap, oral antibiotic, and elevated leg for 48 hrs. Whether we will be able to do the second leg is now in doubt since the last time I had this done the second leg did the same darn thing. Soooooo, eating light, lots of water, singing(do that anyway) and watching Youtube Disney videos as we close in on our 100 day mark until trip.
Keep up the activities! It can only help us as we age!!!! (Mine is just on one foot)

Good morning! Sunny this morning. Rain coming again this afternoon:(
At least the rain is keeping my garden growing!

Hope you all have a Disney day!!

Good morning all! Happy Friday!!
Got my walk in yesterday. The rain held off. A little sore this morning. Started deep knee bends with my routine. Good for the legs! Going to walk this morning while it is cool. It has been in the 80s and muggy during the evening. DH has to walk with the push mower this evening to get his walk in. Lol
Dinner is curry chicken salad and pineapple. I tend to make a lot of salads in the hot weather.
KF tell your DS that we actually saw the raccoon this morning!! The motion sensor light went off around 3 am so I got up and looked out. The biggest raccoon that I have ever seen was walking around our backyard!! It was huge!! We don't know how he is getting in since it is fenced in. I don't think I will be camping out there until he is gone though!! 
Everyone have a safe and happy weekend!!

Good morning! How is everyone today?
Hope you all feel happy and healthy.
My DH and I are still keeping active. We are getting prepared for our two weeks in a few months hiking in Utah. So on the weekends we do really long walks or hiking. Had to do the walk this weekend cause of rain. We got over 6 miles in this time.
We both do weights every other day and stretches in between.
Trying to eat light and leaner too. Dinner today is pomegranate glazed salmon with wilted spinach.
Tell me what your exercise routines are do we can share with others.
Just because you may have already gone to Disney this year doesn't mean we should not still workout.
Hope everyone has a magical and happy day!! Keep moving!

You are absolutely right Boomer! I have definitely slacked off since my trip, and have gained back a few pounds because of it... Your words have inspired me to get back on track!

Good morning!! Time to get up and moving! The kitty got me up so she could go outside and watch birds from the deck.
The sun is out and in the 80s again today!
Reading Wonderland Katie's TR made me really miss WDW this morning! I really think about going when the weather warms up a lot! Lol Still hoping I can talk my DH into going for my birthday in Dec!!
Yesterday pulled a lot of weeds in the yard so feeling all the deep knee bends this morning!
Walking after DH gets home from work. Dinner is pork chops with maple apples and brown rice.
Have a Disney day and keep moving!!

I love sweets so I could probably eat the maple apples as dessert and skip the pork! 
Thank you so much, I will look forward to trying it

You know, the apples are so sweet in this recipe, you could make a batch and serve over ice cream!! Yummy!
It is one of my DH's favorite recipes now. You are quite welcome! Enjoy!

Here's a healthy treat that might actually help your hearts as well:
2c of raw almonds
1 egg white
1 tsp of water
Directions: whip water and white until fluffly/foamy and pour onto the almonds in bowl. Stir to coat
Mix;2 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 sugar (or we use 1/4 Stevia)
pinch of salt (0ptional)
Pour on to the almonds. Spread on cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees from one hour (stir midway.
Let cool.
I make a double batch each time and put them in snack bags with about 1/2 c or 28 almonds = 100 calories (with Stevia).
Addictive but they are excellent sweet satisfier, fiber, and good for heart health.

I count them out and put them in snack bags so we at least know that 1/2 cup or about 28 make 100 calories. otherwise you reach down the whole bag is gone!

Good morning all! Hope you all are being active this summer.
My DH and I are finally doing some wrapping up on our kitchen remodel that we started back in May. It has made this summer fly by for sure. I haven't had time to do much else. If I get my walking in each day, it is a good day!
We have torn down walls, rebuilt walls, put in wood flooring, painted, new cabinets, new countertops, sink, faucet, plumbing, electric, etc. I have been sleeping really well on the weekends!!
Hopefully, things are getting back to some norm around here. I can catch up on bills, exercise more, and talking with you guys.
Take care and have a magical day!! Catch me up on some of your exercise routines this summer.
Wed, 07/09/2014 - 14:52
Well I've started my diet countdown..I want to lose half a stone (7lb ) Tho I must admit the amount of walking that we do whilst at WDW helps combat all that awesome food..
Wed, 07/16/2014 - 19:00
Well good afternoon! After surviving some fast-paced running around these few days, I am starting to calm down and slow down. That is the trouble with me in pretty weather. I find tons of things to do and want to finish them up then. lol
Walking is taking a priority these evenings after dinner. We need to start getting in shape for our vacation out west. Lots of hiking to do, so we need to get some strength training. Still waiting to see if wdw puts out any deals for rooms for the winter months. I have it bad!! I would go to wdw today if my DH would go!!
Making a meditteranean meal tonight for dinner. Lots of fresh veggies from the garden.
Hope everyone is outside today! It is gorgeous here! Sun, breeze, 70s, and low humidity which is very unique for July!!
Have a wonderful Disney day!!
Wed, 07/16/2014 - 21:26
Hey Boomer..Keep on dancing..I love it when the weather is good..It makes me want to eat more salads and do some walking..As for myself..I'am on this new diet..It's called the YoYo..Every week..up and down..LOL..
Fri, 07/18/2014 - 13:07

Hey Boomer..Enjoy your Mexican dinner...I'am having a light snack tonight as I'am playing at a seaside hotel from 9.30 till 12.30..But I'am having a Indian buffet carry out tomorrow night..Whoo Hoo..As far as exercise goes, my DW and I done a 3 mile brisk walk today..We have relatives coming in from U.A.E. late on Saturday night..So it's gonna be a busy time..The little girl ( 3. ) is Frozen daft..My DW bought her a Elsa dress and hair band and neckless..Have a great weekend..
Mon, 07/21/2014 - 13:06
Good Monday morning!!! Back to rain again!!
It rained Friday all day and Saturday! At least yesterday didn't. And it feels like Fall. Where is the summer weather? Really hoping the rest of summer isn't like this.
Thanks, watchmaker! The dinner was very good!!
Got our walk in yesterday. Saturday was a wash-out so stayed inside. Hoping today we can get out to walk. Weights today too.
Dinner is a vegetable dish with kale and spinach.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Keep moving and thinking Disney!
Mon, 07/21/2014 - 19:09
