I am so happy that Friday is here. Finally. It’s been an emotionally draining week, watching the news and dealing with my husband’s government furlough. I understand this is just the beginning and the big whoop won’t come until his payday is here and there is no paycheck. Then the October bills will start coming in and there won’t be funds in the bank to pay the bills. I guess I should have paid attention more to Dave Ramsey and his Financial Peace University. I guess that’s the story of my life. People provide me with the necessary tools to make the right decisions – both with my financial status and with my health. I need to learn to pay attention and learn. I’m working on it and know that I’ll get there.
This morning started off great. I enjoyed my usual one cup of coffee in the morning and then ate a nice breakfast – one of my favorites – Breakfast Scramble. I measure out a serving of hash brown potatoes, a serving of crumbled turkey sausage and at least a cup of peppers and onions. Warm it up in a pan and then crumble on top either a Weight Watchers Jalapeno cheese wedge or a Laughing Cow Chipotle cheese wedge. It’s only 5 Weight Watchers PointsPlus. I don’t use any oil or butter to cook it. You could add in a scrambled egg to up your protein. I don’t eat eggs but I’ll add it to my mixture on the weekends for the rest of my family (after I take out my serving first).
Thanx for sharing Tamra. Loved this. You answered all my previous questions. Face your fears. You can be one of those inspirational people to someone else one day! You just have to find your own way about it. 🙂
Were you reading my mind as you put down your thoughts about exercising? I can relate to every word! The only thing that I have found that works for me – I have long stretch of carpet in my bedroom that runs from one end through our vanity area up to our bathroom door, about 30 feet or so. Against the wall of the bedroom we have our TV. So, I walk/jog back and forth from the bathroom to the TV every evening. The great part is that without the hum of a treadmill I can actually hear the TV. So, I turn on a pre-recorded show that I love but my husband has no interest in and walk while I watch. I carry small 5-pound dumbbells and can alternate all kinds of exercises – I can speed up, slow down, walk forward for a while then switch to walking backwards. As I walk I can stretch my arms in different directions allowing the dumbbells to provide some resistance. It may not be the greatest fitness program, but it gets me up and moving every evening for 45 minutes. And while I’m hot and maybe a tad sticky, I’m certainly not drenched in icky sweat!
Good luck with finding the thing that works for you!
