Day 3 of new year: so far so good....

 Sister from Canada was visiting, and she's always inspirational (has lost over 50 pounds) and is also very nice and kind. Went to visit other sister yesterday, seeing cutie-pie 6 year old niece; that sister is joining her local Y; I might do that.


Feeling pretty good and happening: last night, when I realized I hadn't done any cardio (cuz of long car rides, etc) I jumped up and did my 20 min at 1:20 AM (I'm a night owl). Unfortunately inet went down last night so couldn't log it nor food until today, even tho I am live in EST but use Hawaii time zone (for tracking purposes).

Today I did very well with food choices: had 400 calories for treats available at end of day! while meeting all my nutritional goals. Also, have shifted h20 (teas mostly in this cold) to earlier in day. Just gotta do a couple more things tonight-mtg, code, pts.

Thanks all of you for being here, reading this emoticon .

Day 1, again: Blogging 100 days Challenge; New Moon (Gemini)

Image
  So my last blogging challenge was interrupted by Covid, as I was an early Covid prepper (& irritated with those here who were in active and vocal denial, though I've gotten over that anger, which was my own maladaptive and non-compassionate response). I've been back, off and on, and off, but have mostly been engaged with and following my Spark plan, though I haven't always logged my food and my movement, lately. So I'm restarting this blogging challenge, with the New Moon, (Friday@1:39 EDT in loquacious Gemini. It almost happened by accident...I was reading an a sparkticle, and left a comment: FIVE FUN FITNESS GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR ('09) https://www.sparkpeople.com/ blog/blog.asp?post=5_fun_f itness_goals_for_the_new_year & here are my summer fitness goals: Re-up'ing my fitness GOALS here, even tho it's not Jan1): 1) Continue with training to do 'real' push-ups: 13 will be first goal, then age (58, which is how many I can do @ wall right n...

Almond Macaro(o)ns

 Not exactly macaroons (which I think of as coconut) nor the recently trendy macarons (which are almond based, but more fussy?) these are more like the latter. Had an expired box of Solo almond paste, so needed to use it up...this recipe is from the back of the box, with 1 change: maraschino cherries are now cherries from canned cherry pie filling. Ingredients: 8 oz Solo Almond Paste 1 egg white 0.5 C sugar 5 oz Cherry Pie Filling (18 cherries) Direc tio ns: Preheat oven to 325F In food processor, break up almond paste, then process, add sugar & process, then add egg white and process for 2 min  (that basically seemed unnec...probly 20 sec was enough...but I followed the directions); Divide into 18 and roll balls (/pipe into stars) onto silicone-lined (silpat) sheet. Flatten & press thumb into it; place a cherry into each thumbprint, trying not to get much of the filling. Bake for 20 min on rack in middle of oven, then another 8 min on higher rack to brown Turned out k...
