I guess my stomach and body just couldn't handle it. I've been eating pretty "clean" the last few weeks and having that taco just gave my tummy fits.
Connor broke his toe in a bike accident last week, so we were only able to get in ONE family activity this week. We all went back up to Haines Park and played some tennis. We really have a good time when we do...well, Fred and I have a good time...Connor just bitches. :)
July 4th was a challenge. First off, the weather sucked! second, we were having a house full of people coming over for a BBQ and just like I thought, I overate.
So now....I am really really going to have to play it very close to the bone (so to speak) the rest of the week, or I could see a big increase on the scale. The next day wasn't too bad when I weighed in, only up a pound, but it may not appear for a couple of days, so I'm making sure to pound down the water and really really watch my portion sizes the next few days.
We have really taken advantage of all of the great fruit that is in season. Everything from fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries.
I went to the Downtown Farmer's Market last Saturday morning and picked up new potatoes, corn on the cob and kale. We've never tried kale and the couple that were selling it told me to try kale chips! Tear the kale into bit size pieces, dip your fingers into olive oil and lightly coat all the pieces of kale, spread on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with sea salt or kosher salt and bake until the edges start to blacken. Eat like chips! Kale is chock full of good for you things!
I'll be back next week with another update on our challenge!
BTW - Here's the photo that we sent to our dietitian to use for the challenge.
But I rather like this one myself......lol

OMG! Those pictures are great! I love them both. Kale huh? Interesting. I'm enjoying the fresh fruit as well. I'm really hitting the part of the "lifestyle" change right now where it's getting difficult and the cravings are hitting. Pushing through though. Pushing through.
I love kale in soup :)
and I LOVE the second pic you posted! First one is a nice family picture, second pic truly captures everybody's personalities. Good luck w/your fitness challenge!
I am seriously LOLing at the second photo! Maybe I should mail Connor a care package of mac and cheese on the sly...;)
Kale...we like it in soups. You can cook and freeze it for later use in winter soups too.
