breakfast - 1 cup regular Cheerios with 2% milk and blueberries, 2 cups of coffee
lunch - mac and cheese
dinner - sweet potato fries
snack - a few cheeries as I was cleaning them, a few Annie's white cheddar bunnies, 1 cup of grapefruit juice, 1 peanut butter sandwich girl scout cookie, 1 dark chocolate small easter egg (yeah, I still have a few of these in the candy dish).

activity
40 minutes on the exercise bike

commentary
it's back in the 90s so I know some cooking is going to be a challenge, but I've got to make a pot of soup either tonight or tomorrow - I pulled the remaining turkey leg out of the freezer, I have celery and carrots and noodles to cook up, so I think I'll be making some soup that should last me for several days.

Comments: I walked to the Food Co-op and back (1.6 miles total); it was a bit slow coming back with a bag of groceries, but I made it, and lots of housework. Planning a trip to my neighborhood farmer's market tomorrow as well.

breakfast - 1 cup regular Cheerios with 2% milk and blueberries, 2 cups of coffee (are you sensing a pattern here? I still have a bunch of frozen blueberries because I went crazy buying them when they were on sale)
lunch - salad
snack - a few Annies white cheddar bunnies
dinner - mac and cheese
snack - I'm thinking of having something, maybe a fudge bar, or maybe more bunnies, or maybe just a beer

activity
20 minutes on the exercise bike

commentary/addendum
I forgot the beer I had yesterday, so that should get included with yesterday's snack/dinner. Some of the activity I've done since Sunday is also playing with the puppy, chasing the puppy, picking up the puppy (you get the picture)...but for all the exercise she's giving me, I get loving, and cuddles and get my toes cleaned and nibbled at the end of the day.

I think we both need to come up with some new ideas for breakfast! I won't eat oatmeal until it gets a little colder . . .

Oh, I forgot yesterday that I had the leftover juice from the mandarin oranges. And last night I had a handful of grapes and about a 1/3 cup of the bunnies.

OPA Friday 8/24

Breakfast

3/4 c. Kashi Crunch, 1/2 c. 1% milk, black coffee

Lunch

open faced turkey sandwich on dark whole grain bread, 1 T. light mayo, mustard, lettuce

Planned

Dinner

6 oz. fresh salmon with fresh lemon, 1/2 cup couscous, steamed broccoli with 1 T. light mayo mixed with lemon juice and 1 T. capers and minced green onions, 1 glass white wine

Comments I made it to the farmer's market and parked about 1/2 mile away, so 1 mile plus walking through the market three times scoping out my purchases and running errands. I am still not walking enough, but I can say that I can walk more quickly now without getting embarrassingly winded. I brought home some fresh salmon (the vendor is very funny and as he packed it, he winked and said, "Be careful. It was swimming yesterday."), zucchini, red leaf lettuce, and broccoli. Continuing -- cleaning up and cleaning out the house. Lots of recycling done, quite a bit more to go though.
