Better late...Hello September to Remember, week1

 

So...technical difficulties and ran out of steam for a bit recently especially during last weeks of August, and I'm back, at least for now, though may spend more time off spark because of election work?
Have logged food again, which pushes me to log water, etc. and working out.
Going to track workouts on a big calendar, as similar to https://www.sparkpeople.com/my

dual.asp?blog_id=6685498
My Spark goals:
emoticon 1) Tracking food
emoticon 2) Hydration
emoticon 3) Low-impact cardio daily at least 10 min, but 3-5 days longer sessions, up to 2 hours
emoticon 4) 2-3 days per week weights
emoticon 5) 2-3 days per week spin, usually during the 'A-Block' of Rachel Maddow's show
emoticon 6) Back to working on my push-ups challenge
emoticon 7) Walks at least 2-3 days per week; need to remember NOT to overdue it...took me a year to heal from 2019 summer achilles injury after one especially long session
emoticon 8) Daily projects-home
emoticon 9) Daily projects-PC
emoticon 10) Daily projects-garden
The thing that will make *this* a September to remember is working my plan & seeing the results. One of this weekend's projects is to come up with an updated list of rewards

    Missing time on Spark for election work is totally forgivable, but you will be missed, if that is the case.
    I appreciate your activism. SO MUCH!

    I’d love to see your big calendar project! I’m still filling mine up every day and it is one of the best visual projects I have done. It helps so much.

    Your goals are great! Get er done!

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...
