Its been a bit but I've been out of town. Well traveling 1900 miles by car, over 5 days doesn't leave much time for exercise. 2 days there and 2 days back, with one day in between to watch my daughter perform and also get her moved out of her apartment. We really didn't get out and do any sight seeing. We did drive on the great Hwy and get some lovely photos.
I still managed to keep my calorie burn avg. at 2388 with intake about 1700, my steps at 5500 despite the 7- 8 hours a day in the car, my sleep still is never where it should be, averaging about 5.5 hours.
I'm really trying to reduce the foods that contain fat, without completely going vegetarian. With the low iron, I still need iron rich foods and beef does seem the best meat for me. I love that all the farmers markets in the area are starting up again. My goal is to always have two vegetables with dinner not just salad. My green salad is more than just lettuce, i usually have tomatoes, peppers, some olives, and often cucumbers. But I'm trying to get more broccolini, squashes, beets and others in there. I'm not that fond of broccoli, but LOVE broccolini. Artichokes, are my go to veggie these days. Steamed or boiled and then grilled with a bit of olive oil and sea salt, No dip for me just pure unadulterated artichoke.
