Good Tuesday Afternoon & Daily Health Report - January 20

How you all doing? I've had a busy day up to this moment when I could finally sit down and be with you. My day started at 2 AM. My phone woke me. Not happy about that. I wanted at least a half-hour more. It is what it is. The weather showed cold and windy so I dressed warm when I left for the pool. Of course, that didn't happen until I scraped the windows. It was a hard frost last night and took 20 minutes to get the windows cleared so I could leave. By then the inside was toasty warm. This morning, I did not get to the Y before the doors opened, but right after. I was in the pool shortly after 5. With the amount I ate yesterday, I wanted a weight check. No gain. So that was good. After the pool, it was the fitness center and twenty minutes on the elliptical. Now, my rule is no laundry on the same day I go to the Y. No Y on the same day I do laundry. My knees don't appreciate that kind of abuse. However, laundry needed to be done and I needed to get back in the pool. My knees are very happy to be sitting here right now. I did two loads of laundry and spent the morning in the loft with my son, so that meant lots of stair climbing. I folded the first load there and the second load here. I also just finished lunch. It was a simple lunch today, unlike yesterday. So, now about yesterday and the food and exercise Totals. Calories: 1965 Breakfast - Unsweetened Cinnamon Applesauce, Eggs, Potato w/dairy-free Sour Cream, Turkey Bacon, Unsweetened Almond Milk - Calories 570 Snack - Banana, Grain-Free Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites - Calories 160 Lunch/Dinner - Ribeye Steak - 4 servings - 1 pound of meat.

This morning I had over 5000 steps before 8:30. I looked at my fitness tracker a little while ago surprised to see I'm over 7000 steps for today. Yes, I'm happy to be sitting down. How did you do with food and exercise yesterday? Thanks for reading. Image courtesy of Pixabay.
