DORIS' DAILY SUMMARY/LEARNINGS:
- Started out the day feeling pretty good, but I notice what I had for lunch, it really caused me to feel tired and lethargic.
- It was nice to really get exercise in with my kids as we did this together.
- Spent time this morning getting 3 of the bikes in enough working order for us to get a long bike ride in, but I really need to get the bike for me in good working order so each of the kids can ride their own bikes. I need new tires and to get things working. Hopefully I can do this sometime.
- Wanted to make a strawberry cream cheese coffee cake for my Single Moms tonight, but my nap turned out to be a lot longer than I planned and then it was too late.
- Went to Safeway twice, as they had strawberries for 88 cents/lb. I think I bought 14 lbs of strawberries today - a bunch for freezing for smoothies for the summer, and my plans are to make a couple desserts to share with others.
- There are no cravings for unhealthy things unless I choose to eat things with grains, starches, and refined sugar - then, I get all those bad food cravings and feel icky. It ticks me off that I've done this more than I thought I would. It really comes down to being planned and diligent enough.
- No real cramping today. Praise God!
- Caught up some with an old friend last night whom I thought disappeared from my life. It was interesting.
- Really love my Single Moms group, hearing other people's experiences and stories.
- Grace . . . grace for others . . . grace for me . . . grace.
SLEEP: 12:45 pm - 6:00 am (5.25 hrs) - Want to sleep in, but couldn't. Promised my kids we would go bike riding early in the morning.
Nap: 2:45 pm - 5:15 pm (2.5 hrs) - I felt so sleepy and lethargic while eating the Chicken Cesar from Paradise Cafe, and the walking in the heat for awhile did NOT help. I felt totally wiped out when I came home.
SUPPLEMENTS/MEDICINES:
9:15 am - Heart Meds
10:30 pm - Heart Meds
EATING: Paleo Since 26-Jan-2012
Meal 1 @ 9:00 am: 2.5 scrambled eggs w/shredded cheddar cheese, sea salt & ground pepper ----> ate this after bike riding with the kids
Meal 2 @ 1:00 pm: Southwestern Chicken Cesar Salad from Paradise Cafe (large) - I should've told them to hold the tortilla chips, as I'm pretty sure this made me feel not good. My body doesn't really like corn and though it tasted really good, I could feel my energy levels going downhill as I ate this ----> did a bunch of walking in awful walking flip flops in the hot blazing sun for maybe 1/2 hr.
Meal @ 5:45 pm: 4 eggs (sorta scrambled) w/shredded cheddar cheese, sat salt, ground pepper ----> wanted protein, but I really wanted to eat real meat, but too lazy to cook this
Dessert @ 6:30 pm: homemade ice cream - half & half, ice, frozen strawberries, whey protein powder, cinnamon, banana ----> didn't make a lot, about 1/2 of what I normally make
Snack @ 9:15 pm: 1 rice krispy ----> at the end of Single Mom's
Meal 4 @ 9:45 pm: a bowl of Frosted Flakes w/unsweetened fresh almond milk ----> eating the rice krispy caused me to crave this.

EXERCISE
Biking w/the Kids: The kids and I spent about 1-1.5 hrs biking intermittently earlier this morning. It was starting to get warm. I spent about 45 min. before we went biking around the neighborhoods near where we lived fixing the tires and pumping them up, oiling up the chains & getting the bikes ready for riding.
There was time there was a gentle breeze.
Walking w/the Kids at San Tan Mall: Wasn't expecting to walk so much, and most of it was out in the full sun with these flimsy flip flops I had. Thankfully I could not feel the hot sidewalk through my thin flip flops. Did this after I ate a lunch that would've been alright had I just held back the tortilla strips.
This walking was done about 1:45 pm - 2:15 pm. So, it really was not a great time of the day to walk in the full sun.
