A New Week

 Good Morning,

We've had our walk, we walked one and a half miles this morning. It was around 48 degrees when we started out. It is now 61 so more pleasant. So much different than a few weeks ago. My idea would be days in the 70s and nights in the 50s.

Our leaves are only starting to turn color but some are falling to the ground. It is interesting how different houses are decorating for Fall or Halloween. I, myself, do not decorate for Halloween, only Fall. 



I have an artificial pumpkin out there but I didn't get a picture.

Tomorrow Daughter and I are driving to Birmingham to a meeting. Then on Saturday, we're going back there to meet up with the princess for lunch. It will be her 20th Birthday. Amazing! She is our youngest Grandchild. She is attending Auburn University and Birmingham is about half way for the meet up. We're supposed to have lunch at Cheesecake Factory.

Saturday, I made a pot of Chicken Tortilla Soup. I left the black beans and corn out of the recipe so it wouldn't be so high carb. I did add one can of chili beans but there would be only a small amount in each bowl. We do eat carbs on the weekend but we try to still limit them. I'm hoping I reach my goal when I weigh in on Friday. Then I may set a new goal.  We'll see.

Do you decorate for Fall, Halloween?

Have you made any good food Lately?

Thankful Thursday

 


Its been a while since I've done one of these.

Today I'm thankful for the cooler temperatures. It hasn't been that long since the weather broke, actually it was pretty warm on Monday.

I'm thankful that I am motivated to get up early and go walking. That I have a partner to walk with me.

I'm thankful that the pantry is stocked and I have ingredients to make Chicken Tortilla Soup on Saturday.

For the chance to have lunch with my Daughter on Monday.

And most of all that we have remained healthy during this epidemic. I am still cautious because of my Asthma. 

Its all a little depressive if you dwell on it but there is much about this time that is good. And the changing season has certainly helped with that.
