I'm finally getting back in the routine of walking and eating better! My cardiologist said everything looked/sounded good with my heart but he wants to me to lose 40 lbs. so that I don't get diabetes. The fact that I don't smoke and that nobody in my family actually died from heart disease before 60 was a plus. And if I don't get diabetes my chance of having heart problems will decrease significantly. (which isn't news to me or anyone else)

June 1st was my start point and I got off to a great start walking at VERY least 1 mile a day. Most days though are 2.5 miles and when I'm feeling energetic AND my kids don't complain...we walk 3.8 miles. Today, for lunch, I had 3 boneless/skinless chicken tenders with Mrs. Dash seasoning, a can of salt free green beans with spray on butter (which is free) and a glass of 100% red grape juice which is also VERY good for your heart! For supper I had a small plate of whole wheat spagetti with turkey burger and sauce...also trying to drink more water ...less Iced Tea! (I  Iced Tea!) I did have a small piece of vanilla cake w/ dairy whipped chocolate icing...which was good and I didn' t feel guilty because it was small and it was the only "bad" thing I ate today. (gotta be able to do that or I'd go nuts!!...I have a sweet tooth)

Also, trying to wrap up our school year!! I'm waiting for Timmy's test results in the mail and finishing up some odds 'n' ends with the portfolios before the evaluations...I'm such a procrastinator!!
