SherryeB's Journal, 10 July 2020

We enjoyed a meal of oven roasted chicken thighs, baby carrots, baby red potatoes, green beans & a handful of cherry tomatoes last night. Easy, peasy....tossed the veggies in a tblsp. of EVOO & sprinkled garlic all over & put it in the oven. All I had to do was stir once during cooking. Healthy & flavorful 😊 We finished off the leftover brownie with a couple of scoops of Butter Pecan ice cream at Hubby's request. Then....I had 2nd dessert...2 cups of Boom Chika Pop Kettle Corn while we watched Peaky Blinders on TV. Still came in under my 1800 calorie allowance.

We've been having a lot of rain showers during the day. There was a break in between the past couple of afternoons so we were able to walk in the neighborhood. Some days it's really muggy, but yesterday there was a nice breeze. I puttered in the gardens yesterday, too. I decided instead of getting rid of the Adirondack chair we're replacing, it would make a nice piece of yard art. I placed it a few feet into the trees & put a metal planter on the seat. I also transplanted a few plants in the garden. They were planted in the midst of greenery that was not allowing them to flourish so I moved them.

Decided to record a measurement comparison on here. I'm sorry I did not take measurements when I started last July. The first ones I have are Sept. 13th 2019. I also didn't measure legs, arms or chest. I was more focused on reducing my waist & tummy area....the bane of all of women around my age 😐 I know my legs reduced because I was able to zip my knee high boots easier & have had to pull in the back straps on my sandles. I have skinnier ankles now 😊

I do not go to the gym....my sources of exercise are walking & gardening. I had considered joining a gym at the first of the year, then they all closed. I have not been disciplined enough to do any form of structured exercise for any length of time.

Salmon for dinner.
