Refocused & rededicated

Today I am going to make staples to use, some for this week, some to freeze for later. I have long grain brown rice & whole wheat pasta that I’m planning on turning into something fabulous. I also have lo-so tuna and a jar of artichokes that I’m going to put into no-so tomato sauce. I think that will be great over whole wheat angel hair.

I also have to get eggs & milk. But it’s nice to have ideas for lunches. For dinners I think I’m going to stick to a cup or cereal with milk when I get home. My favorite are the bite sized frosted mini wheats, but I enjoy the Kashi ‘cheerios’ as well. Just have to make sure I have enough freezer bags & containers to put everything in.

I also read about people eating ricotta mixed with honey, raisins & cinnamon for breakfast. That just seems wrong since I am Italian & we use ricotta for savory not sweet (except tiramisu), but I think this week I might get brave and try it. I can’t have eggs every day & I NEED protein in the mornings or I get cranky.

I am stupid & forgot to go pick up prescriptions 2 days in a row, so now I have no blood pressure pill to take today. I know I should keep extras in the house for these occasions, but I was waiting until November for that, when I will have 3 paychecks. Oh well, such is life, I will just have to be exremely careful with the salt today & maybe do some light exercise. I will have to wait until later because it’s 90 degrees out now. Indian summer, indeed! I can’t be out in the heat with high blood pressure, so I have to watch it. It’s going to be pushing it getting in a hot car to go to the grocery store as it is.

Haven’t been bringing my shoes to work to walk on my breaks and that is making my walking partner mad at me, so I think this week we are walking every day whether she likes it or not, HA!

Still trying to get the motivation to visit the gym after work. I think I will try tomorrow night. Just have to get the bag packed & see what I want to do, swim, walk or weight room. My feel tend to hurt about 2 minutes into riding the recumbent exercise bikes, so I’m not sure if I will be trying that or not. I have nicer shoes now, so that might make a slight difference.

My grandpa called this am to say grandma is in the hospital, but he asked for my dad. lol. My dad and I have never lived under the same roof, not since I was very very small, if ever. At least I found out about my gram. My dad went to see her (he’s in the same city, I am an hour away) and called me to say she is doing fine. She just fell, did not break any bones, so I am grateful for that. Wish I could go see her, but my dad said not to, as she is very very tired. Hopefully they will check her fluid & let her get some sleep.

This is my grandma who had a kidney transplant when I was a baby. My dad and I inherited her kidney disease. I have always been very close to her, so I hope everything is going to be ok.

Not much else, just a lazy Sunday. haha, I wish! Hope everyone else is having a great weekend. xoxox
