Although it’s tough to get up after a few days vacation, I managed to open my eyes before the 4AM alarm and lay in wait of the ominous chime telling me to get out of bed. If I don’t get up when the alarm goes off, Ted pushes me out so I may as well rise.
Once up and in the gym, the work out proved pretty good:
45 min. run + 35 min. weight w/out + 28 min. walk. The run was broken into 2 parts as one mile was spent running w/ Shane. The weight w/o included back, triceps, abs, yoga stretching to finish.
It was so good to be back eating what I’m used to: cream of rice w/ raisins, apple pie spice and a tsp of natural peanut butter. A protein shake with 2 oz of fresh blueberries and 1/2 a grapefruit. My tummy is smiling.
Just worked through the morning at a steady pace with typical “to-do” work. Didn’t get home for lunch because Sue had to meet up with Sam so I made the best of my trip to the store and bought:
Baby spinach, tomato, red bell pepper, tuna in a pouch, bean salad, f/f poppy seed dressing. It was a pretty big salad and worked out to be approximately 360 cal.; 30 protein; 50 carbs; 4g fat. Since I keep the fat low in my diet, I supplement with EFA’s (essential fatty acids) in the morning.
A healthy lunch
I also bought a green cabbage as I am going to turn a “Chicken Enchilada” recipe into “Tuna Enchiladas” however instead of using tortillas, I am going to wrap the stuffing in big cabbage leaves…. and Ted thought he was going to have pork chops tonight!
Dinner came out really good and I call it: Gluten Free Tuna Enchiladas:
Gluten Free Tuna Enchilada Casserole
Gluten Free Tuna Enchiladas served with Fat Free Refried Beans

In the meantime, our neighbors are heading back to Florida on Wed. (Snow Birds) and brought over some very nice flowers:

Thank you Betty Ann & Gene! Beautiful!
I also checked the progress on the wall. Ted had to make a phone call because they were building the wall so high. It would have hidden the new door and the new stampcrete! They were able to take out a layer or two. Almost complete, they just have to glue on the tops and clean up.
The wall still in progress
