December 15 - What I Am Thankful for Today & Daily Health Report - Day 34

Tweet

Happy Sunday. It was a very good day today. Especially with the Packers and Bears game. One thing you can guarantee when those two teams meet, it will be an interesting game. Today was no exception. There wasn't any kneeling in the last minute of the game. In fact, the Bears tried hard to pull off a win in the last seconds but lost the ball inches from the goal line and yes, the Pack recovered to secure the win and a playoff berth. Today was also the 200th meeting between the two teams which saw the first game in 1921. The Bears had a different name back then. They also won the first game in the oldest rivalry in football. Yes, I'm a huge Packers fan. The Pack won today 21-13. So, what am I thankful for today? I'm thankful I made it home from church this morning. As I turned onto a side street, a vehicle, stopped at the corner wasn't paying attention and thought he had a clear road with me right in front of him. I put on my breaks and he stopped allowing me to proceed as I had the right of way. I'm thankful that all my work in keeping my calories down has garnered me another pound lost. That's a win on two fronts. A couple of weeks ago I bought several new pairs of slacks. Those slacks will go to the rummage giveaway in May at my church. I'm in between sizes. The size lower is too small and the size I'm wearing is slightly too big. I need the size in the middle that doesn't exist. By May, I should be in a smaller size. If so, I'll most likely also be in a smaller size swimsuit. A pound lost and clothes slightly big is a double win. That brings me to yesterday's numbers. I'm drinking a lot of tea, which is helping curb my appetite. The less I eat, the fewer calories I consume and the more I lose. Here are yesterday's numbers: Calories: 965 Sugar: 82.25 Carbs: 155.7 Protein: 34.9 Sodium: 499.5 Fat: 24.6 Calories burned shopping: 177 Total calories: 788 Yes, a definite win with everything. Today is looking almost as good. I took the day off from the computer. I'm letting my thoughts rest as much as possible. We all need days of rest. It helps us do our work much better. Tomorrow I will be back in the pool. This week will be cold and unlike some areas of the country that are seeing terrible winter weather with tragic accidents and whiteout conditions, we aren't getting any snow until Tuesday and that will be a fast tracker. We aren't expecting more than .4 inches of snow. If we get that much. I hope you aren't in the line of storms and if you are, I hope you're safe inside with no plans to go anywhere until it passes and conditions are safe once again. What are you thankful for today? How are you doing with food and exercise? Thanks for reading. Image courtesy of Pixabay.
