Today was another busy day. I took Emelia to Lowe's to buy some plants for Mom for Easter. We were there for quite some time picking out lots of goodies. Along with the flowers for Mom, I also got another cherry tomato plant, basil, cilantro, 2 red pepper plants, a chocolate pepper plant and 2 cucumber plants. Like I said in another post, I am getting quite an itch to grow my own veggies. I've already got about a dozen Roma tomatoes growing on one plant and another 8 on the other regular tomato plant. It feels very rewarding to grow my own food. Maybe someday when we have our own place I will have a real garden, not just pots, where I can grow lots of different things. Anyway, back to my day. After Emelia went down for her nap I spent almost 2 hours outside planting everything. I didn't get a chance to do my workout today, but I checked my calories burned calculator and for the hour and 45 minutes I spent gardening, I burned about 700 calories. That's about what I would have burned on the treadmill so I'm happy. My legs are hurting so I must have been doing something!
Still doing well with my diet. Mom tried to tempt me with Red Mango frozen yogurt for dessert but I resisted. Here's what I ate:
BREAKFAST:
-sliced apple w/peanut butter
LUNCH:
-s.f. raspberry lemonade
-small lo-carb tortilla w/ham, pepper jack cheese, mustard & mayo
DINNER:
-spaghetti with meat sauce over spaghetti squash
