Day #7, Sun. 7/8

WoW!  Has it been a week already since I started this "Back on Track" Style of eating?  I'm really enjoying the Smoothies and I'm incorporating exercise back into my routine, too.  baby steps . . . inch by inch, step by step!  Remember you've got to start somewhere! :-)

For today's smoothie I combined cucumber, blueberries, raspberries, a pear, one stalk of celery (really can taste that in the smoothie), about 4 oz. of filters water, organic spinach and baby romaine and about 5 ice cubes. I blended everything and put the greens in last.  I had a hard boiled egg and a garlic cheese sausage on the side. Oh and I ate a banana while making the smoothie.  I must say I would NEVER eat this much fruit/veggies/greens at breakfast if I were not having my smoothies. I'm starting to feel the difference in my energy level, too. At first I was feeling a little sluggish, but it changed about day #5 or 6.

Now I'm off to the studio to unpack some of the things I came across while cleaning at home and also to fit in a short workout. Have a great day!



That breakfast at 10:30 a.m. held me through late afternoon.  I had a late lunch at 4ish and that will probably do it except for an apple or a dish of ice cream (the ice cream won out!) I've decided to only do dessert on Saturdays and Sundays or twice a week if I have a special event in that week. That way I'll have something to look forward to!

I heated up my leftover chicken and sautéed peppers, made my favorite cottage cheese and pineapple salad and had a glass of filtered water. 

Drank the leftover smoothie (about 8 oz.) around 8 p.m. as a snack.

Day #12 Part 1, Fri. 7/13

Friday the 13th was an AWESOME day! Started the early day off with a Chobani raspberry yogurt before taking the 7:04 Amtrak Downeaster to Boston for my PhotoWalks Tour of the Boston waterfront. Packed some water because it was going to be a hot one! Got into North Station around 8:20 and my tour wasn't until 10.  I just HAD to have a few last photos taken with Ray Allen in the TD Garden before they take him down! I had plenty of time to get to the Old State House Museum to meet for the tour so I walked over to Quincy Market and then up to State & Washington Streets. There was a sweet man sitting on the bench with his dog playing some sort of French percussion instrument. He had a little dog on the bench next to him .  I asked if I could take some photos of him and he gladly obliged.  I told him about the upcoming Hearts & Hands Show and he asked if the doggie's paw counted! :-)  I took several photos and then Saba, the tour leader arrived. There w...

Birthday Blog

On April 19, 2022 a t 2:35 pm, the exact time of my birth 68 years later, I was at my very favorite place, Pemaquid Lighthouse! It worked out perfectly; I had planned on photographing sunrise, but it was raining so I went later in the day.  THIS is 68! I left on my solo secret birthday road trip on Monday April 18th. I made a pit stop at the Yarmouth Information Center to pick up some brochures. A guy in the parking lot saw my CELTS-6 license plate and Celtics hat and started talking about how great Sunday’s game was! :-) Once a year, I always like to go somewhere I haven’t been before. I took a side trip to Land’s End on Bailey Island. Just sorry I never made it there before my friend, Dan Millar, passed away. I want to go back for photos of The Giant Stairs, Lookout Point, Cribstone Bridge and the little lobster shack in Mackerel Cove when it’s a little warmer.  When I lived in Maine I would go to Tortola in April. Now I go from NH to Maine!  LoL     I arrived...

Day #8, Mon. 7/9

Well I am bound to have one of this days! My friend Eric, who owns and runs 'Evolution 180' in L.A., is a lean, mean (and I mean that in the nicest way) machine. I have to say that he is THE BEST personal trainer I have ever met!  He practices what he preaches. He eats clean for 5 days, fasts for a day and then eats whatever he wants for a day.  So I would have to say that Day #8 was my "eat what I want kind of day." But getting back to Eric. . . Back in February 2011 he came to Boston for the Celtics-Lakers game.  Eric had never been to the Right Coast and it just happened that we were having one of our coldest, snowiest winters EVAH!  He arrived on the red eye and came up to NH to catch a few hours of sleep before I dragged him around Boston. The snow piles in our yard were over his head and his comment was, "Do people live here voluntarily?" I gave him the full Boston experience. We drove to Sullivan Square and took The T into Boston. We went ...
