Kale Chips....yay or nay ?














Today was a pretty good day.

I got to start it with my Fruit Infusion cup!! I left it at my friends house Thursday night and was able to get it last night. I love this cup and it keeps me drinking water all day. I infused with lemon and lime wedges








I made the mistake of not getting my work out clothes on as soon as I got up and procrastinated until after lunch before I was able to get my work out in.
It annoyed me and it consumed the better part of my day, hanging over my head that I needed to work out.


Foods today were good, I think. I am not feeling hungry!! Lots of great tips are coming my way via e-mail and FB messanger. Anything that requires me to go buy something special that I do not already have on hand will have to wait until grocery day.
The latest advice/tips I received, I was able to put to use right away.
Eat lots of fruit and veggies and don't count their calories, nobody has ever gotten fat from eating fruit and vegetables ! Snack or eat often, meaning eat little amounts several times a day. So that is exactly what I did ! I had proteins too don't worry.
What I ate today is at the bottom of this entry.

So, a new healthy snack was made tonight.....KALE CHIPS
Hopey and I made them together, that is pretty much the only thing I like about them. They got a big NAY from me, but YAY from Jason and Hope so all is not lost.


Hope ready to get started!



They are pretty easy to make. I got the kale for $2.50 and I thought they would be a great alternative to chips.....not so much....for me anyways : /

My exercise was a different 2 mile from Leslie Sansome Walk Away the Pounds
This one has more dance style type moves and I am not the most coordinated. lol
I have a choice, I can learn the steps or just revert back to what I know .
I think I may give it a go tomorrow and try the steps again. Great thing about her work outs is if you can't do the move she is doing just keep moving!!
I have to admit it felt good to work out.
Tomorrow it has to be done first thing in the morning,it is just better all the way around :)
