It's been a good day. Quiet.
I'm thankful for going to the Y today and enjoying the pool and fitness center. Before my surgeries, I didn't spend a lot of time in the fitness center, preferring the pool more. Since my surgeries, I'm a daily regular in the fitness center. I'm always trying to push myself a little more. Today was no exception. I pushed and regretted it. I didn't do more than I usually do, but my back was not the best this morning. I didn't listen to it before I left. I should have taken Ibuprofen before leaving this morning. I thought I could do my usual routine. I did, but it cost me. So, I'm also thankful for Ibuprofen that took the pain away after my morning nap.
I'm thankful for my nap. I knew I would be taking one with how much sleep I didn't get last night. I got a two-hour nap. I got my hourly steps in the middle and being as tired as I was, went right back to sleep.
I'm thankful for the soup I made today. I'm not usually a fan of soup. I've only made chili in the past. I've been wanting potato broccoli soup. I made it today as you can see in the picture above. I used six potatoes, 1 package of frozen broccoli, four slices of turkey bacon, one package of alternative cheese shreds, and one carton of cashew milk. Add in Mrs. Dash lemon and herb and garlic and herb seasonings and I have a mouthwatering soup. I have enough for several days of leftovers. The picture above shows the crockpot full to the brim. I had three helpings. I just need to figure out the calories for it.
Okay, that was my day with a little TV after I finished the notifications earlier. I also see we got paid today. Always a good day when we get paid.
What are you thankful for today? The image belongs to me. Thanks for reading.

@just4him I'm glad you had a great day! This soup you made is very similar to the soup we make here and it is called 'white soup' made from chicken

@just4him You are welcome! Why? Does chicken bother your stomach?

Yum, that soup looks DELICIOUS! And I am happy to hear that no butter or heavy whipping cream was necessary. What kind of alternative cheese shreds do you use? I will have to try this.
I am glad you are trying new exercises at the gym. Our gyms recently reopened a few days ago and I haven't made it back in yet BUT I am denfitely excited - especially for working on that upper body strength, which I definitely need to do.

Daiya is the brand name. I use the moz and cheddar alternative blend. I did use ghee, but not much, a tablespoon. It tastes creamy without being heavy.
I need to talk to the woman in charge of the fitness center to find out what other exercises I can do for my knees.

Yes, I love when we get paid. One penny more.... dang. If I had made one penny more last month. Ah well, I'll make p for it this month. Not halfway through the month and I've already made over 3 dollars. So I should make the 5 with time to spare.
What I'm thankful for today. Good plesent weather. That's about it. That and logging on to found out we got paid.

Your potato broccoli soup looks delicious! I'm making some chili this week, not sure which day that will be. Jay won't be home for supper, so I'll only be warming up leftover tonight. Take it easy with your back, try not to max your limits.

The soup sounds yummy! I am thankful that I am working from home right now, writing a mission statement for a friend who is getting a Daycare off the ground. Her first language is French, and mine is English, so writing a mission statement in English is easy for me.
