It has been a busy week, resulting in my not checking in here as much. The up side...I see that I have lost about 1.5 lbs this week so far (one more day to go before I record it, hoping it doesn't spike up).
I'm preparing for a friend visiting from out of state this weekend. It has kept me very active in preparations, and showing her around town will be quite a workout with lots of walking. It also means eating out a lot, though, which means more sodium and fat than usual in my diet. I'm hoping the activity will be enough to offset the extra calories.
Found a smoothie combo that I love, and it's only running around 200 calories...pineapple, mango, orange, and kale. I'm going pretty heavy on the kale. Usually have this as a mid-morning snack...it keeps me full until lunch, and it takes the pressure off of me trying to fit in enough fruits and vegetables. I still make sure I have veggies with lunch and dinner, but I don't have to stress it so much.
Didn't increase my distance walking this week. I wanted to, but had some hip pain earlier in the week that concerned me. I also didn't want to risk injury with my friend coming this weekend. Would feel terrible if I wasn't able to show her around. Will see how I'm feeling Monday, may increase the distance next week.
