Fri 29 Jun

The centipedes in this house are getting WAY too big. I have gotten so much better about just whacking or stamping them and moving on, but the one this morning was humongous! I had difficulty even walking down the stairs as it was on the wall at the bottom. Even without my contacts, it looked to be about 1"x3" with the body being at least 1/2" wide by itself. Initially I couldn't even be sure it was a centipede and not some other large insectile creature, but creeping closer confirmed the identity. It moved slowly to the side wall and sat still, but I choked and missed with the flyswatter so it scooted away. I kept a sharp eye all the while I exercised and still don't feel comfortable going back downstairs. Yuck! Breakfast with my client at Ranchito's again today, and then if work doesn't interfere, a birthday lunch at Ranchito's at 11:45. Supper will be pizza from the Wheel House on our little Waupaca overnight. I shall try to limit to smaller dishes. Work ran a little late so I skipped the birthday lunch (gratefully). After the breakfast meeting, I had to pick up a client who lives a ways out of town, drive her to the Probation and Parole office, and then unexpectedly had to sit in the car with her 5-year-old because she is not allowed to take the child inside and there was no one at home to stay with her. When she finished, I drove her on errands before taking her back home, and at noon when I got home, I realized I had been sitting in the driver's seat of my car since 9:45 am. I'm surprised I could still move! And I was certainly not hungry for another restaurant meal.

Thurs 28 Jun

Today I was reading a SparkPeople email and there was a quote, "Are you slumping right now? Sit up straight! Now doesn't that feel better?" I guess I, too, have ventured into getting (and taking) good advice from my computer. Made up for changing out my more vigorous DVD yesterday by doing it today.

Wed 27 Jun

I had to fight every step of the way to go down and exercise this morning. I did compromise by choosing a slightly less intense DVD than my usual Wed morning fare. My body feels achy and doesn't want to move. My right knee is stiffer than usual. Ugh! At least I did it.

Fri 22 Jun

So far we are on track for an early start. We are showered and I have almost finished breakfast at 7:00 am. The camper is in the driveway so we just need to pack up the truck, put the cold items into the cooler, hook up and go. I'm hoping there will be no difficulty starting by 8:00, 8:30 at the latest. It's a 5 1/2 hr drive and we'll stop for lunch at Schloegel's in Marinette.

Thurs 21 Jun

Had much fun at dinner last night at Christian's. They brought out a "snack" course in the middle of the meal with a little fresh potato dumpling with a port wine reduction drizzled on the plate, a savory snack that looked like a dessert. We had a lot of fun with Michael and will try to get together more often that way. We so enjoy our Madison dinners with you that it is nice to do something similar with Michael even though we're all in the same town. Decided not to get up to exercise this morning as I didn't sleep very well again. I had really expected the temperature to drop more in the night. There was a nice gentle breeze coming through the window, but not enough to encourage deep sleep. There, laundry is done to this point so I can relax on our camping weekend without a full complement of laundry to do on my return. Food: 6:45 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 large cantaloupe, 100 g blackberries, coffee 12:30 pm Blueberry soy shake, sourdough English muffin, 1 tbl Jif PB, 166 g strawberries 2:45 pm S'more 5:00 pm Calcium chew, peach sangria 6:30 pm 4.5 oz extra lean ground beef, basil, 1 tbl shredded Asiago, 100% whole wheat Sandwich Thin, arugula, 1/2 c Grillin' Beans, 2.25 oz baby carrots, 12 oz skim milk Exercise: 7:10-7:20 pm Walk to Rich's 7:25-7:35 pm Walk back home 7:40-8:00 pm Walk around neighborhood

Wed 20 Jun

I sweated like pig this morning during exercise, an unusual thing for me. Nice to cleanse out the pores but otherwise a pain. Left me feeling a little wiped out as well. Took Michael out for dinner for his birthday tonight. Couldn't reach Grandma before her supper hour so it was just the three of us. Nice evening. Food: 6:45 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 large cantaloupe, 101 g blackberries, coffee 12:45 pm Strawberry/banana soy shake, 1/2 c 1% cottage cheese, chives, peach 1:30 pm Heather's strawberry cheese pie 3:00 pm 2 caramel pizzelles 4:30 pm 2 3 Musketeers miniature 5:15 pm Calcium chew 6:30 pm 8 oz cab sauv, 6 oz kobe beef burger, cheese, andouille sausage, ketchup, fried onions, sweet potato fries, 1/3 pc chocolate bing cherry cheesecake Exercise: 4:50-5:50 am Burn It Up DVD

Sun 17 Jun

Happy Father's Day to Bob and posthumously to both Grandpas. Seems strange not to have any fathers of the oldest generation remaining here with us. We're taking Dad up to the Dane for brunch after church. Hopefully Michael is coming, too. Dad got a Kindle as his Father's Day gift. I am nearing the end of the last season of Sex And The City DVDs. Didn't have time to watch for a week or two, so I had a long hiatus in between. The last three episodes have featured Mikhail Baryshnikov as Carrie's current dating interest. Fun to see him again. Brunch at the Dane was not quite up to expectations. Okay, but nothing special. Dishes sounded better than they tasted. Food: 7:45 am Raisin brioche roll, 1/4 large cantaloupe, 101 g blackberries, coffee 12:15 pm Mimosa, omelet w/smoked salmon cream cheese, 1 bite hash browns, 1 bite biscuit, 1 slice sourdough French toast w/syrup, 1 c mixed fruit Exercise: 4:45-5:35 am Brutal ballet DVD

Sat 16 Jun

Steamy Saturday. Sheets are on the line, hoping to hang out as much of the laundry as possible in case it decides to rain. We need rain so I couldn't complain, but I do enjoy having the laundry dried in the fresh air. We've talked about walking down to the Farmer's Market today, possibly getting the bikes out for the first ride of the season, maybe even picking strawberries. Peaches came this week, so we're waiting for the first half dozen to finish ripening. I also want to make some homemade sangria, possibly a peach version with the sparkling peach wine I bought in Madison. Peach sangria turned out well. Used sparkling peach wine, peach schnapps, white cranberry peach juice, 1/4 c sugar, blackberries, blueberries, peaches, & Sierra Mist. Potent and yummy. Food: 9:30 am Laura's oatmeal w/flaxseed meal, 1/2 c fresh blueberries, soy milk, protein powder, 1/4 large cantaloupe, 101 g blackberries, coffee 11:45 am Peach 1:30 pm Trig's brat, bun, 1 tbl ketchup, 1/2 tbl relish, plum 5:00 pm Glass peach sangria 6:45 pm Grilled chicken thigh, 1/2 c heirloom rice blend, 6 spears grilled asparagus, 12 oz skim milk Exercise: 10:20-11:10 am Walk to Farmer's Market, around and back

Fri 15 Jun

TGIF! Feels like it's been a long week. Nothing too specific on the agenda for the weekend other than going up to the Dane for Father's Day for brunch. Dad still doesn't know what he'd like for Father's Day. I was going to get him an inflatable kayak - I found an inexpensive one on Amazon that looked good - but I chose to ask him first and he didn't think we'd really use it. Oh, well. Going to Ranchito's for breakfast with my client today. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was as wonderful as I had expected. What a delightful film! Food: 6:45 am 1/4 large cantaloupe, 100 g blackberries, coffee 8:15 am 3/4 mushroom/spinach/cheese 2 egg omelette, 1/2 c hash browns w/onion, 1 homemade tortilla, coffee 11:45 am Blueberry soy shake, 169 g strawberries 4:00 pm 4 oz Prairie Fume 5:40 pm 3 oz grilled chicken, 1/2 c mushroom pieces, 1/4 c green pepper, 3/4 c pea pods sauteed in 1/4 tbl butter, 12 oz skim milk 9:00 pm 1 c black raspberry ice cream w/berries & chocolate pieces Exercise: 4:45-5:35 am Firm Boot Camp DVD

Thurs 14 Jun

Looks like a nice day today. We're scheduled to hike with Barb tonight if her work schedule isn't too crazy. We hiked last night so it would be two in a row for us, but at this point in the season, I don't expect that would be a problem. Food: 6:45 am Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 large cantaloupe, 100 g blackberries, coffee 9:30 am Fruit parfait w/vanilla pudding & graham crumbs, slice cranberry bread 11:30 am 2 veggie egg rolls, many fresh-picked strawberries 2:30 pm Small banana muffin 8:00 pm 4 oz extra lean ground beef, .75 oz fresh mozzarella, 1 tbl ketchup, wheat bun, 6 more strawberries, 12 oz skim milk Exercise: 4:50-5:32 am Crunch Fat-Burning Pilates DVD 5:20-7:10 pm Hiking Rib Mt plus tower

Wed 13 Jun

I had an active dreaming night last night, so I didn't feel as well-rested this morning. Probably due to the iced tea I drank at 3:30 pm. Didn't really keep me awake, but I'm not usually aware that I dream so I don't think my sleep was as deep as usual. Food: 6:45 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 large cantaloupe, 101 g blackberries, coffee 11:45 am Chocolate soy shake, sourdough English muffin, 1 tbl Jif PB, 161 g strawberries 3:15 pm 2 Fiesta malted milk eggs 4:45 pm 2 c kettle corn 7:45 pm 12 oz Adam's Angry Apple cider, 4.5 oz grilled BBQ chicken, 1/2 c garlic mashed potatoes, 1 c steamed green beans Exercise: 4:45-5:45 am Burn It Up DVD 5:20-7:20 pm Hiking Rib Mt plus tower

Tues 12 Jun

Looks like a lovely day. Pilates tonight, and if we have time, we should be able to walk there. Forgot to switch my Fitbit to the sports bra during exercise this morning, but it does allow me to enter exercise manually since the Fitbit isn't good at sensing things like situps, pushups, and other floor work. I shouldn't have missed much. Today I try the Costco cantaloupe and give it one more chance. It looks good. Nummy! I had a Narmer for dinner tonight! Food: 6:45 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 large cantaloupe, 102 g blackberries, coffee 11:30 am Strawberry/banana soy shake, sourdough English muffin, 1 tbl Jif PB, peach 12:30 pm Chocolate caramel from Kaap's 2:00 pm 2 Finn Crisp wafers, 2 chocolate pizzelles 4:45 pm Calcium chew 7:30 pm Narmer, no mayo, honey wheat bread, plum, sugar free Jello dark chocolate pudding cup, 8 oz skim milk Exercise: 4:45-5:35 am Jane Fonda Original Workout video 5:10-5:25 pm Walk to Pilates 5:30-6:45 pm Pilates 7:00-7:15 pm Walk home

Mon 11 Jun

I'm looking forward to getting out in the camper again after a several-year hiatus. It will be a long drive up and back so we'll really only have the one full day for exploring Pictured Rocks, but it's the best we can get til Dad is done with the Karlen job. And it should be a good introduction. Michael is singing in a Suzuki recital tonight. Deja vu! How wonderful to hear him sing again! He did My Cup Runneth Over and sang beautifully. Food: 6:45 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 med cantaloupe, 100 g blackberries, coffee 11:45 am Blueberry soy shake, sourdough English muffin, 1 tbl Jif PB, peach 3:15 pm 3 Fiesta malted milk eggs 5:30 pm Calcium chew, 1 pc Kaap's chocolates 8:30 pm 1 c shredded wheat, 1 c blueberries, 1/2 c light original soy milk Exercise: 4:40-5:50 am Jane Fonda Complete Workout video 3:10-3:25 pm Walk on break (in heels) 5:40-5:50 pm Walk to Suzuki 8:05-8:15 pm Walk home

Sun 10 Jun

Enjoyed the day in Madison yesterday. Was very nice to finally spend some time with Laura. Even though it had only been two months, it seemed very long since the last time we were together. Hope you enjoy the Star Wars videos. Happy belated birthday! Ordered crepes w/sliced banana and pecans at Olympic. Apparently their supplier slipped a plantain in with their box of bananas and the cook didn't notice. I ate 3-4 pieces hoping I was mistaken because they were hard and tasted like cardboard. When I pulled the remaining slices out of the crepes, it was obvious to me that it was an underripe plantain. Oh, well. We have reservations the weekend of June 22-24 to take the camper up to Pictured Rocks Nat'l Lakeshore in UP. We brought the camper home this evening to make sure everything still works and we know how to use it. Food: 8:00 am Morning bun, 1/4 med cantaloupe, 102 g blackberries, coffee 12:00 pm 2 crepes, 1/4 c raw plantain, 1/3 c chopped pecans, coffee 2:15 pm 1/2 tube Crystal Light lime margarita powder, plum 4:15 pm BBQ pulled pork sandwich on bun, 1/2 c ramen broccoli slaw, 1 c fruit salad, 1/2 c baked beans, slice multi-layer raspberry cake, Reese's mini, Ghirardelli square 7:15 pm 4.5 oz Lulu's Cranberry Cosmo Exercise: 6:50-7:40 am Brutal ballet DVD 3:20-3:30 pm Walk to Hartmans 5:50-6:00 pm Walk home

Fri 8 Jun

I was really tired when the alarm went off this morning. Wasn't a matter of not wanting to exercise, just wanting to sleep more. Will have to try to fit in some short walks again today. Fitbit stopped recording mid-afternoon yesterday. I think I let it go too long before recharging. Seems to be okay again, I hope. Having breakfast with my client again today, this time at Ranchitos. Last time we went there, I ordered a Mexican special that was delicious so I plan to look for it again today. That time I had already eaten breakfast so I just tasted it and took the rest home for later. Today I remembered to just eat my fruit so I can enjoy it hot. Food: 6:45 am 1/2 med cantaloupe, 115 g blackberries, coffee 8:15 am Machaca texana, 1/2 c hash browns w/onions, 1 corn/flour tortilla, coffee 11:45 am 2 corn/flour tortillas, 149 g strawberries 5:30 pm Calcium chew 6:30 pm Huckleberry Weizen beer, too many fresh cheese curds (still squeaky and slightly warm!), hamburger, slice processed cheese, whole wheat bun, ketchup, 1 c fruit salad, 1/3 c pasta salad, 1/3 c dark baked beans, small pickle, 1 c chocolate trifle, 4 chocolate dipped strawberries, 2 pc caramel graham cracker snack Exercise: 9:00-9:25 pm Walk most of way home from ACT shack

Thurs 7 Jun

Had a very nice hike with Barb last night. Excellent weather. She said it's due to get hot and humid this weekend, though. I think I have a haircut/color update tonight and tomorrow's the annual ACT potluck meeting. Since we just did the Farmer's Market recently and still have some things left to eat, I don't think we'd need to get there early on Saturday. We will probably shoot to arrive in Madison around 11:30ish if that sounds good. I might want to look for some new summer capris for work since most of mine are ancient. Do you need any clothing shopping? Probably a good thing that we finished off the rhubarb coffee cake at lunch today. And we finished it before it could mold! Food: 6:45 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 med cantaloupe, 102 g blackberries, coffee 12:30 pm Vanilla soy shake, outrageous rhubarb coffee cake, 159 g strawberries 3:45 pm 2 Fiesta malted milk eggs 5:15 pm Calcium chew 5:30 pm 1 c shredded wheat, 1 c blueberries, 1/2 c light original soy milk 8:00 pm Yoplait chocolate raspberry parfait Exercise: 4:45-5:40 am Buns/Abs of Steel 2000 video 1:30-2:00 pm Walk with client 5:45-6:00 pm Walk to Hair Co 7:35-7:55 pm Walk home

Wed 6 Jun

Well, I got out of bed and crept to the computer with hopeful trepidation only to have my spirits crushed. Changed out the clothes I set out for the day to all black - much more appropriate to mourn my state. At least we can know that many people voted so it wasn't the voice of a few. Food: 6:45 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 med cantaloupe, 103 g blackberries, coffee 11:45 am Blueberry soy shake, outrageous rhubarb coffee cake, 162 g strawberries 3:00 pm 4 Fiesta malted milk eggs 8:15 pm 1/2 c 1% cottage cheese, chives, 163 g strawberries Exercise: 4:50-5:50 am Burn It Up DVD 5:30-7:35 pm Hike Rib Mt plus tower

Tues 5 Jun

Today will either be a very good day or a very bad day, depending on the election results. We have all already voted early so we can only sit and watch at this point. I continue to encourage others to vote. Dad is going to pick Rich up and take him to the polls. I was soundly asleep when my alarm went off this morning so it was hard to come to wakefulness to exercise. I don't think I really woke up until about 10 min into the routine. Food: 6:45 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/4 med cantaloupe, 103 g blackberries, coffee 11:45 am Vanilla soy shake, outrageous rhubarb coffee cake, 163 g strawberries 3:00 pm 2 Fiesta malted milk eggs 4:45 pm .35 c Quaker Oat Squares, 2 oz light original soy milk 7:15 pm 3 oz extra lean ground beef, 1/3 c arrabiata sauce, 1/4 c chopped peppers, 1/8 c chopped onions, 1/8 c chopped mushrooms, 1 c whole wheat gnocchi, 12 oz skim milk, Jello sugar free dark chocolate pudding cup Exercise: 4:50-5:40 am Jane Fonda Original Workout video

Mon 4 Jun

Here goes another week. Michael is coming for dinner tonight and I hope to have time and energy to bake a rhubarb coffee cake. We collected some extra rhubarb from Rich yesterday as ours was nearly depleted by the crisp I baked last week. Had a really nice dinner with Michael tonight. He is getting ready to move with a couple of friends to a townhouse in Plover. He has had enough of living with Grandma's stuff. We haven't told Grandma yet. It will give us a chance to get in there with no occupants and put it into better shape.

Sun 3 Jun

Another beautiful sunny day. St. Joe's picnic is this weekend so they must be very confused since it almost always rains for them. We'll go to the chicken dinner after church with Grandma, then pick her up again at dinner time to go to Bamboo House for Chinese to celebrate our anniversaries. Full weekend. Tired today. Sundays seem to do that to me. Food: 7:45 am 127 g rhubarb scone, 1/4 med cantaloupe, 103 g blackberries, coffee 12:15 pm 4 oz chicken white meat, 2/3 c stuffing, 1 tbl gravy, 1/2 c corn, 1/4 c cranberry sauce, 2" square white cake w/frosting, 6 oz 2% milk, large chocolate-dipped strawberry 3:00 pm 2 pc chocolates 6:15 pm Almond bubble tea, 3 pc nagiri sushi, 3 pc tuna roll, iceberg lettuce salad, 1 tsp ginger dressing, 3 lg shrimp, 1/4 c fried rice, 1/4 c mixed vegetables, fortune cookie Exercise: 6:45-7:35 am Brutal ballet DVD 4:20-4:40 pm Brief walk to Rich's and St. Joe's

Fri 1 Jun

I slept so well last night! Sometimes the simplest pleasures such as good quality sleep are the best. After a long, hard day at work yesterday, a nice hike at Rib, a good meal at the Dane, it was a perfect button on the day. I just couldn't give it up at 4:30 to exercise so I took the extra hour to make an 8-hour night. I have Walk Wisconsin tomorrow and maybe some kind of walk tonight. This morning I'm meeting a client for breakfast and she is disillusioned with her previous regular restaurant so we're going to McD's so I can finally try the blueberry oatmeal. I've walked 250 miles since I got my Fitbit. Just earned my badge today. Food: 6:45 am 1/4 med cantaloupe, 80 g raspberries, coffee 8:15 pm McDonald's blueberry walnut oatmeal, 1 creamer, coffee 11:45 am Blueberry soy shake, 47 g date scone, 2 oz Jarlsberg, 148 g strawberries 4:45 pm Calcium chew 6:30 pm 1/2 glass sangria, 4 oz grilled pork chop, 1/2 c grilled sweet potatoes/Vidalia onions, 5 small spears grilled asparagus, 1 tsp olive oil, 12 oz skim milk Exercise: 7:10-8:20 pm Walk to Schmeeckle and back with Dad
