Happy Healthy Monday
Man I so didn’t want to come back from vacation. Let me tell you I walked a TON and tried to eat a bit healthier. Food was so expensive there compared to here. 
Wow.. My feet held up pretty well thanks to my Earth Footwear but my knees had some issues. So I hope I can get back into the swing of things now I am back and lose some of this weight. I think hubby and I both realized it needs to be done. We got wore out in Chicago.
We did find a Subway and ate there to try to keep things healthy. I normally eat Subway at least once or twice a week. It’s such a good alternative to fast food. We would have eaten there for breakfast but we never got up in time. LOL
So my goals this week is to just worry about my eating. Healthy choices all around. I am still drinking my water (see the pic I sent @mentallyinked) and I drank a TON of it on vacation. Not one soda! So I think if i can get a handle on my food this week I can add in some exercise soon. Maybe take Cooper to the park at night a couple time or just for a walk.
I feel so out of touch with everyone. I hope you all had a good week. Let me know if I missed something. Have a good healthy week. Now for the recipe.

Glad to hear you had a good vacation! Good job on trying to eat right while doing that and all the walking!

Looks like a yummy recipe and welcome back from vacation!
It is so great to hear even on vacation you watched what you ate and drank! Great job!
Glad you had a great Vacation and stuck to eating healthy. Good luck getting back into your normal day routine this week! I’m sure you will do great!
Have a great healthy eating week and welcome back. I am looking forward to some of your vacay pics.
Sometimes we need a huge smack of reality to hit us before we realize we HAVE to get healthy NOW! You can do this!
Way to go on no soda during vacation!! Drink tons of water – I’m still waiting for a video of the dance haha
Have a great week
Don’t worry girl. We are glad you are back! Can’t wait to see how you do next week. XXOO
That mango medley looks delicious!I’ll have to try that recipe out.
I would have posted it on my site, but it wouldn’t let me copy it. I didn’t want to add everyone else’s w/o yours there! Great job on the soda & the walking! I’m happy you had a nice vacay!! *hugs* You better start drinking more water or I’ll send Rachel after you!
Glad you had a great vacation! Good job on the walking and the water drinking!
Missed seeing you around last week. I know you were around some, but you were busy vactioning. Glad it was a good time!
I think a lot of us are in the “kick it into high gear” mode. Let’s rock this out!
Glad you had a nice vacation! We have a hard time getting up at ‘breakfast time’ too! 🙂
Glad you had such a great vacation! I was actually surprised to see post a few tweets on Twitter while you were gone. Many congratulations on drinking water and no soda – I know it’s a hard habit to break! But, it probably really helped your hydration while doing all that walking.
Have you noticed that things taste saltier now that you’re only drinking water? That was one of the first “major” changes I noticed when I stopped drinking sodas. Now, everything tastes a little saltier to me but I feel MUCH better.
Welcome home 🙂
