First chore hubby and I did was
reinforce the rafters in shed. Liz gave me a pile of cedar boards. So
the project was pretty much on the free side.
We talk about building a bat house out the cedar boards.
I am hoping to get up to one of the
hardware stores this week, to purchase a hummingbird feeder.
There a few solar lights to be put up.
But I need to get something to stake into the ground.
Trying to figure out what is possible
for me to this up coming week. I know there work. And I have a few
ideals what I would like to get done. But what is feasible is the
question.
I can see where a bullet journal is
helpful. I use to write a list what I want to accomplish and it would
seem much easier with a bullet journal, compare to a little piece of
paper, Floating about.
Then also when it was written down I
seem to get more done. And had no lap tap or devices to pull me away.
The last two weeks my average calorie
intake has 1,925, and I pretty much stayed at same weight range.
So I think I need to drop my calorie
intake by 10%, rounding it to nears 10th.
So I am going to try to drop my calorie
intake to 1,730
These nutrition I seem to be low in
vitamin d, vitamin C, and potassium, which I am not making 50% of
RDA. There other I am slightly low on.
Then there is 5 I tend be over 150% of
RDA
which are iron, niacin, phosphorus, selenium, and Sodium.
I am using fit day an on line food
tracker. How would they know my sodium intake, If I use a salt shaker
or not. I am not a big fan of salt.
Then comes to vitamin d how can they
figure how much I been outdoor soaking up sun. I live fairly north
and we don't get much sun.
First day of summer we have over 14
hours of sunlight. Then the first day of winter we have not quite 8
hours of sunlight.
It look like I miss a few days of
keeping track of things.
But they have mood tracker and one of
them is stress. Not sure what it is. But lot of people made the
statement I am cool as cucumber. Lot of time I think I am basket
case.
Last two weeks mostly I felt calm, but
there 2 days of each I felt neutral and stressed.
I did take a walk half the distance. My
hip is still giving me some trouble, although much better.
I been doing a little family history. I
been recording info on my mom siblings. She one of 12 and there 3
left.
I did get some more quilt blocks done.
Looks like there enough strips cut for 3 more blocks and after that they will need to be pressed out and trim all same.
So glad your hip is improving. The quilt is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy your hip is more comfortable. Sodium is not only from salt, many foods contain sodium naturally, like celery, which also has potassium, a necessary partner to the sodium.
ReplyDeleteSmall amounts of Vitamin D are found in milk, egg yolks and butter, I know you can't have milk and cream, but maybe you can still have a little butter? And you should be able to eat yoghurt. Other sources of Vitamin D are oily fish, such as tuna, salmon, sardines and herrings. If you can include one of these in your leafy green salad, or alongside, that should help.
My health book says a long-term lack of Vitamin D can cause aches and pains in the bones, so it might be a good idea to just sit outside for a few minutes between chores and get a little extra sun whenever you can. You could also take cod liver oil tablets which will help.
The quilt blocks are lovely, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt, it looks like it will be a very cheerful one.
Great you get better and River sure has some advice at hand!
ReplyDeleteNice quilts, sadly nothing we have here...

ReplyDeleteYes, go River! Loving your blocks... YAM xx
this is beautiful pieces :)
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned on my post that you never seen Fallow deer. That is because they are European deer´s :) Your white tail is a beautiy too. :)
The food tracker only measures the nutritional information of your food. It doesn’t know I& you’ve added additional salt, it’s only recording the amount of sodium known to be in the food.
ReplyDeleteI hav3 to take vitamin D supplements. The dr. Says I’m not getting enough naturally and a blood test showed my levels are low.

ReplyDeleteLove all the pretty squares. It's all very colorful and will make a lovely quilt. I don't try to reduce calories as much as I try to increase activity. I rarely cook enough for anyone to have a 2nd helping so that's a bit of quantity control I guess. Got a good walk in today, as the sun actually came out. We've had so many cold and wet days, I don't walk on those days, but then try to do my work out's with Alexa (The google echo dot). They have exercises in the skills section. I found that out by mistake, but find it really helpful.

Glad to find your blog. I've been holding my own with eating, but went overboard over the weekend. I'm back to more sensible eating today.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo. Here's to the improvements on the hip.
ReplyDeleteI keep a to do list on a clipboard that I check daily. But, for me, writing it down doesn't help me get it done. Sometimes. But usually I just carry everything over to the next week ;)
ReplyDeleteThose quilt blocks sure are bright and cheerful!!
ReplyDeletePleased your hip is a little better.
ReplyDeleteI do like your colourful quilt blocks.
All the best Jan
