On the mend, however, Kerri is very sick :(
This month hasn't worked out very well, has it?
Let's just all eat cupcakes ;)

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend :)
My back is acting up, so won't be walking, but I love walking in the rain, so later this week...
Have a great day!

Was in Paso this weekend for Julia's Birthday - we had a great time visiting with family and friends.
Is anyone going to walk in this rain today?

HOW TO POST A COMMENT!
I figured it out! My bad, it was a setting...
Click on "comment" and then post as "anonymous" and it should work!
Thanks for your patience!
Let the comments commence... ;)

From Spry article: "Live Better Now"
Try, Try Again
A fresh start. That's what each new year gives us, right? We take stock, set goals, allow the dreams that might have gotten crowded out by all the responsibilities of the day-to-day to elbow their way back into our heads and our hearts. The challenge is to keep hold of those dreams as the year wears on, and to forgive ourselves when we get off track. Forgiveness - or the lack thereof - is one of the reasons I think many of us give up on our New Year's resolutions after the can-do glow wears off. At the first little stumble, we label ourselves failures, and go back to our old ways. This year, let's resolve to give ourselves second chances, to remember that tomorrow is another day, ANOTHER FRESH START. We hope this issue gives you the tools to set doable goals, and the inspiration to keep reaching for them. ~Lisa Delaney, Editor

Have a great Sunday!

I didn't walk today, but...
I walked a lot doing mega errands, and worked in the garage for a couple hours, so I think I'm good for today ;)

Protein Bars Recipe
A few people have asked about a recipe and nutritional information for my homemade protein bars, so here you go:
1/2 cup dry oats
1/2 cup oat flour (use a low carb flour if you are trying to cut back on carbs like almond, coconut, flaxseed or soy flour)
6 TB protein powder
2 TB flax seeds
1 cup dry milk
1/2 cup cocoa or carob powder
1/2 cup chocolate or carob chips (you can get grain sweetened choc chips from the health food store that are much lower in sugar)
5 TB nut butter (use chunky if you like a crunchy texture)
1 tsp vanilla
2 TB liquid sweetener (honey, rice syrup, agave)
water to mix
You can also add anything else you like or deem healthy. Ingredients I have used are: lecithin, green powder, stevia (if you use stevia, you can cut down on, or cut out, the sweetener altogether).
Mix dry ingredients and then add wet. Mixture should be stiff, but still stick together. Place in a loaf pan and put in the fridge to harden. You could also roll into balls and coat with coconut, seeds, etc.
Approximate nutrition for 12 servings:
200 calories
9 g fat
20 g carbs
3 g fiber
10 g sugar
11 g protein
This is very filling, so a little goes a long way.
It tastes like healthy fudge.
Enjoy!
To calculate the nutritional information, I used http://www.caloriecount.com/. Go under "recipes" and then "new recipe." You can enter in any ingredients and it will give you all of the nutritional values.

It's all about small steps, figuring out what works, and then incorporating that into our daily lives...
I need to work up to walking the dog for a full 30 minutes, so I will break it up today by riding the exercise bike at work for 15-20 minutes and then walking the dog tonight.
I'm ready to start on a healthy eating challenge - is anyone interested in that?
fyi - If you click on the "Hungry Girl" link on the left side of this page (and down a bit) there is a yummy swap for a McRib sandwich :)
Have a great day and let's keep moving!
