Short. Simple.

Short and simple post, but Tuesday felt like the old Julie and it was a really good day. I knocked out five loads of laundry, paid bills, tried a new Yoga Video and walked 2 miles on the treadmill.

The knees felt great and for the first time, I was able to sit crossed legged during Yoga, do a downward dog and even a plank on my wrist!

The doc called to tell me that my aneurysm CT scan was back and that it showed no changes in size. That means I don’t have to do anything for another year, then we’ll look at it again. Yay! This is great news!

I utilized my leftovers and planned a few simple things for the rest of the week.

For breakfast I made pancakes using this mix I buy at Costco. No added sugar! I already feel better after eliminating sugar for the last three days.

The menu yesterday.

Breakfast – 6 SP

Scrambled Egg Whites topped with EBTB Seasoning from Trader Joe’s, 3 Small Paleo Pancakes (3), 1 tsp Pure Maple Syrup (1), 1 tsp Almond Butter (1) and 2 Cups of coffee with 4 T Nut Pods Vanilla Creamer (1)

Lunch – 3 SP

I had some leftover Chicken Breast (Manuel made these yummy chicken breast while he was here) and Spaghetti Squash, so I added a little Marinara (3). Kirkland Brand.

 

Snack – 4 SP

2 un-pictured Medjool Dates and Hot Tea

Dinner – 6 SP

Marinara (3), Ground Turkey (3) and Mushrooms over Spaghetti Squash

Total = 19 Smartpoints

It felt good to take care of my “to do list” today and jump into the rest of the week feeling organized and on track.

I hope that you all had a great day!

  1. Absolutely Lucy! Go to YouTube and search for yoga with Adrianne. I have done her videos on my phone before. I’ve done them on my tablet before. I have a smart TV so I can also do it on there. Whatever works best for you. Adrianne does a wonderful job of explaining the moves, she has such a great personality and she has such a large variety of videos to watch. The one that I did yesterday it was called gentle yoga. Search for yoga with Adrianne on YouTube for beginners and I promise you you will love it. Let me know if you find it easily Or if you have any questions. Please feel free to email with any questions at julesfarm@yahoo.com.

    Good Luck!!

  2. Another great post. I was recently diagnosed with Osteoporosis and my doctor suggested I do Yoga. Is it difficult, would you please recommend a the video you are using?

    Thanks for your help. Have a blessed day.
